Tobin Harbor?
First visit 1982. Last visit August, 2024. Isle Royale is my favorite National Park!

Midwest Ed go ahead with the next picture. My pics are all easy to ID. (The reason I got Moskey is that I stood on that very spot last year.)

Re: Guess What Campground? Chapter II.
All the images I have of recognizable campgrounds or landmarks are just memories. My camera was far too heavy to lug along.

Re: Guess What Campground? Chapter II.
I have thousands of pics
, so just tell me when to stop
.
Many have been here, but probably not from this perspective (not a campground).

Re: Guess What Campground? Chapter II.
Not Chippewa. It is perhaps the most popular destination on the island (aside from Rock Harbor/Windigo).
