Thanks that helps to know, it's just the 2 of us.

Yes, we called and they said they are full that night, hope we can get a campsite in Rock Harbor, what happens if they are all occupied ? Do they have an overflow area for hikers ? This is our first trip and we are a little nervous about that.

How crowded will the campsites be at Rock Harbor and 3 Mile on the arrival day (Friday) and the day before departure day (Tuesday) ? What happens if they are all occupied when we get there, where do we camp at? We are arriving Aug. 17 on the Ranger III and departing Aug. 22 .

Does the lodge book up early on?

We were thinking about staying in Rock Harbor Lodge on the last day after our backpacking trip and was wondering if it was worth staying there or if we'd be better off just camping in Rock Harbor ? This is our first time to the Island and wanted some feedback on this, Thanks !

Thanks for all the replys everyone, it was very helpful !

Thanks for the info Midwest Ed ! =)

Ok, so 40+ views and nobody has any helpful info?

I am looking for a list or suggestion of a motel to stay at the night before we get on the Ranger III the next morning. Thanks !

How is the weather and bugs in mid-late August? Planning a trip around that time and wanted to know what we should expect !
