Camping Permits and Boat Departure Reservations
Overnight island camping requires a permit via Recreation.gov, while mainland lodging in Bayfield should be booked 4–6 months ahead for summer weekends. Boat tours and water taxis are the primary bottleneck; always verify your transportation booking matches your permit dates. Systems are subject to change; check the NPS site for current water safety status.
