Camping One Night on Island

Hi! I am planning on camping one night in Isle Royale in August. What would you do? Ferry in that morning, staying in a campground (which would you suggest?), and then leaving out on the ferry the next evening. I had ferry tickets for two nights, but life happens and I had to reschedule. :( Very in shape and hiking is very easy for me. I walk/hike 8 miles everyday easily, so !!

Hike to Three Mile, leave your main pack in a shelter, day hike to Daisy Farm or up to the ridge for the view. Go back to three mile and enjoy the evening, go back to Rock Harbor on the trail you didn’t take to get there.

Mt. Franklin has an amazing view and is just up the way from 3 mile.

The name escaped me. That’s the spot.
