Campsite Name & Access

Campsite Name & Access
In looking at the brochure map on the NPS Isle Royale website, there is a campsite north of the Greenstone Ridge trail, and north of the Three Mile campsite. It is on a bay it seems, and there is a spur trail leading to it. Is this campsite accessible to hikers or is it a campsite for paddlers? And if it is accessible to hikers, what is its name?

Lane Cove?
Yes, that is accessible to hikers. 5 tent sites.
Beautiful, but as of late lane Cove is one of the "It" sites to visit and tends to fill up.

Yes, and Lane Cove is also used by kayakers and canoeists. Expect to share campsites.

Re: Campsite Name & Access
I have stayed at Lane Cove twice. Both times, there still were several open sites when we were packing up in the morning. I guess I must have stayed there before it became wildly popular. I enjoy talking with fellow backpackers, but there also is something nice about staying in a very quiet, uncrowded campsite wherever you are in the backcountry.
