About the Business
Popple Campground on South Manitou Island is a secluded and challenging camping destination located on the north end of the island, approximately 3.5 miles from the ranger station near the Lake Michigan shore. Visitors are advised to bring water filtration equipment and be cautious of poison ivy, as it is abundant in the area. Despite these challenges, those seeking solitude and a bit of adventure will appreciate the stunning views of North Manitou Island and easy access to the beach. The campground offers a unique opportunity to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse oneself in the natural beauty of this remote island.
Reviews
"Very Remote! No water, no electricity, and almost no cell phone service. This is a remote campground on an already remote island. It's a long 3.7 mi (one way) hike from where the boat drops you off, And you have to carry all of your gear with you. The views are gorgeous. Get site number 3 if you can, It's right on the cliff facing the lake. There is a small pit toilet. If you're staying for multiple days, bring filtration straws so you can drink water from the lake, because the only other water source is a 7 mi round trip way."
"We had a great time at Popple! Mosquitoes can be difficult on the island but at our site at Popple they were not a problem. Worth the hike in even through some points with poison ivy so pack pants. All in all great time fun backpack camping."
"If you like less people popple is the place. Longer hike. Campground has vault toilet but no water. Be ready to filter/treat water from lake Michigan."
"Worth the trip to this site as its gorgeous and remote"
