Tookers Island Campground

Tookers Island Campground offers a truly unique wilderness experience for adventurers looking to escape the mainland. Located directly on Tookers Island within the scenic Rock Harbor Channel, this federal campground provides an intimate connection with the Great Lakes region. Because the site is accessible only by canoe, kayak, or private boat, it remains a quiet sanctuary perfect for those seeking solitude and raw natural beauty.

The campground features two shelters and a convenient dock where boaters can moor overnight, with a typical water depth of seven feet under normal conditions. As a primitive USFS site, there are no utility hookups available, ensuring that visitors enjoy an authentic, back-to-basics camping experience. The site is ADA accessible and remains open year-round for those prepared for the elements.

This location is best suited for experienced tent and car campers who are comfortable navigating by water and practicing leave-no-trace principles. With a stay limit of three nights during the peak season between June and Labor Day, it serves as an ideal basecamp for paddlers and boaters exploring the surrounding island chain. Please plan accordingly for a remote, self-sufficient excursion.
