About this campground
Trappers Lake Group Backpacking Site offers backcountry camping in one of the most remote and pristine areas of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. Situated on the north shore of Trappers Lake within the Beaver Basin Wilderness, this group campsite is accessed exclusively by hiking over a mile inland from the North Country Trail, making it a true wilderness experience. This designated group site accommodates parties of 7-20 people with a maximum of 10 tents or hammocks. The site features one shared fire ring where fires are permitted using only dead and down wood, and a vault toilet. Trappers Lake serves as the water source, though all water must be treated before consumption.
