Camping

I am taking my first solo camping trip ever to isle royal in late July. I will have 3 full days plus whatever extra time I get with the on ferry travel days. A few questions about the part. I am stay on the Rock Harbor side.

1.) How likely am I to see wolves/ moose hoping to do some photography 2.) What are my odds of seeing Northern Lights 3.)Best places on East side of island for stargazing 4.) Recommendations for Rocky beaches to see Lake Superior stones ( I know it is illegal to collect I just find want to see what is out there) 5.) favorite campgrounds 6.) What thing must I see on the island 7.)How crowded do campsites get, Is first come first serve something to worry about 8.) realistic hiking distances for intermediate hiker 9.)How often to ferry weather delay occur 10.) Bugs?

Would really appreciate any photos
