Wisconsin Permit Areas

Pick a wilderness permit area to browse its entry-point passes.

Wisconsin's wilderness camping centers on the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, where island campsites on Lake Superior are reserved individually. Summer weekends on favorites like Stockton and Oak islands book out early.

Wisconsin wilderness permits on recreation.gov are led by Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, where high-demand passes sell out for peak dates. Permit Ranger watches every pass in the state and alerts you the moment a sold-out date opens.
