Apostle Islands National Lakeshore in Wisconsin protects a scattering of Lake Superior islands famous for sea caves, sandstone cliffs, and paddle-in and island camping. A camping permit reserves a specific individual or zone site - or a group site - for your party during your stay. Popular island sites and summer weekends can be competitive, so it helps to plan around the reservation window.
