About this campground

The Point Iroquois Lighthouse was constructed in 1870. It is open to the public and houses a museum and gift shop. The sidewalks and boardwalks offer everyone a first hand accessible opportunity to enjoy Lake Sueprior's shoreline. The boardwalk skirst along the beach and through a small section of woods; together with the sidewalk a 0.2 mile loop is provided. Several rest stops with benches are located along the boardwalk where you can stop and enjoy the Lake Superior waves and passing freighers.
