We dock in the village on South Manitou. This is where the ranger station is located. There are restrooms in the village with running water and a drinking fountain/pump. There are NO showers. There are outhouses at the Bay Campground, the Weather Station Campground, and also at the Schoolhouse. There is a water pump in the village. There are no water pumps at any of the campgrounds. Fires are allowed in the designated group fire-rings at the Bay Campground and the Weather Station Campground. No fires are allowed in the Popple Campground.
***WATER PUMP CHANGE ON SOUTH MANITOU: THE ONLY POTABLE WATER ON THE ISLAND IS IN THE VILLAGE BEHIND THE BOATHOUSE. NONE OF THE CAMPGROUNDS ON SOUTH MANITOU HAVE POTABLE WATER. AND THE NPS IS NOT FIXING THE PUMPS. PREPARE TO CARRY, BOIL, PURIFY YOUR WATER IF CAMPING AT WEATHER STATION, BAY CAMPGROUND AND POPPLE CAMPGROUND. CURRENTLY, THE ONLY WATER ON SOUTH MANITOU IS IN THE VILLAGE.
