> Human version: https://campertunity.com/listings/campgrounds/apostle-islands-national-lakeshore-camping-permits

**[United States](https://campertunity.com/listings/campgrounds/in/united-states)**

Apostle Islands National Lakeshore provides a unique wilderness camping experience on 18 of the 21 islands in Lake Superior, plus three mainland sites along the Lakeshore Trail\. All island campsites are accessible only by boat or sea kayak, making this a true backcountry experience on the largest freshwater lake in the world\. The park offers three types of camping: individual sites \(1\-7 people, $15/night\) equipped with fire rings, bear lockers, and picnic tables; group sites \(8\-21 people, $30/night\) with the same amenities; and primitive camping zones \(1\-5 people\) for experienced backcountry campers with no amenities\. Individual sites and primitive zones can be reserved 30 days in advance, while group sites are allocated through an annual lottery in March\. Lake Superior's cold waters average 42°F year\-round, creating a real threat of hypothermia in all seasons\. Summer temperatures range from highs in the 60s\-70s to lows in the 40s\-50s\. Campers must be prepared for primitive conditions, secure all food in bear lockers or hung properly in primitive zones, pack out all trash, and use only dead and downed wood for fires\. Visitors camping on their personal boats at public docks do not need camping permits but must pay overnight docking fees\.
