Nice spot, very private and well kept. Easy to find and beautiful sunset views! We brought a Subaru Outback with a 15 foot pop-up camper and a tent. It was a tight squeeze to turn the pop-up around, wouldn't try with anything larger. Big Bay Town Park is about 2 miles with trash, toilet/showers and beach access. Easy to get back to town, next time I'll bring a bike for more exploring!

Great for self contained smaller vehicles. Definitely wouldn’t tow anything in there. The gazebo and bbq were helpful. Plenty of dead wood around for a fire. We wished there was beach access but the view was nice. Campsite was fairly clean, we always try to leave places cleaner than how we found them but had to abort when the kids found some interesting trash, maybe there was some honeymooners staying before us lol. Cool quiet spot on an island with not a lot of public access outside the state park. Thanks

Amazing spot on an adorable island. You do need to take a ferry to get to the island but it runs a lot. Spot is a private well maintained wooded lot right on Lake Superior. Not very level but nothing a few blocks couldn’t fix. Would definitely come back!

It was an awesome place to call home for a weekend. Quiet, heard nothing but the sounds of nature and our camp fire. The site was perfect for pull right up and have a cliff-side view of the nearest Apostle Islands. Will definitely be returning in the future.

What a view! Schuyler’s land faces towards the sunset with views of several of the Apostle Islands. We drove our camper van pulling a utility trailer down a short two track driveway, I wouldn’t go out with anything much larger. The terrain is quite uneven but we were able to find a flat enough spot to settle in and enjoy a beautiful evening. The next morning was peaceful and a nice breeze off the lake kept the bugs manageable.

Great spot, was everything the host said it would be. Our CLC teardrop fit beautifully. This may sound odd but the surface was all moss and grass, a barefoot gem 👣
Very private and secluded, giving a backcountry feel. Nice island watching view to the north over the channel.

Our recent Hipcamp stay on the lake was nothing short of magical, and I can't recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, we were enchanted by the stunning natural beauty and the incredible peacefulness of the location.
The campsite itself was impeccably maintained, offering ample space and all the amenities we could have wished for, while still feeling wonderfully secluded. Waking up to the gentle sounds of the lake and enjoying our morning coffee with such a breathtaking view was truly unforgettable. We spent our days enjoying the lake and Loons simply soaking in the tranquility.
Our hosts were exceptionally welcoming and thoughtful, going above and beyond to ensure our comfort and enjoyment.
If you're looking for an idyllic retreat that combines the beauty of nature with fantastic hospitality, look no further than Hipcamp on this lake. We're already counting down the days until we can return!

Wonderful mix of cart-in, hike-in and car camping sites. Well groomed hiking trails and scenery. I enjoyed having the Superior Hiking Trail nearby to get a taste of it.
