The camp sites can accommodate RV's or tents and each includes a picnic table and firepit. Half the sites have electric hook-ups. There are outhouses available and 2 spigot water wells. The park is open year round, and camping is available May 1st through October 31st. The campground will be using an online reservation system beginning in the 2024 season.
Historical Museum
The Drummond Island Historical Museum is located at 33492 S. Water Street on the north side of the island. The museum is open from late May through mid-October. The museum features island history and includes artifacts from Native Americans, Finnish Farmers and Yankee Settlers. Museum hours are 1 to 5 pm, 7 days a week. Admission is free, but donations are appreciated.
Big Shoal Beach
Big Shoal Beach is located on the southeast part of the island off of Johnswood Road. Take Johnswood approximately 6.5 miles from the 4 corners, then make a right on Big Shoal Bay Road. This sandy beach is approximately a mile down on the right. There is parking and a public toilet. The water is shallow and the lake bottom here is relatively sandy making it a popular spot for families with small children.
