I've been going up to the Whitefish Falls/Killarney Park area for the past few years and most of the land bordering the North Channel is owned by the "Crown" and is open to camping. There are scattered private parcels of course, but even then most landowners won't object to the occasional campsite if you're quiet and unobtrusive. But be aware that most of the coastline, be it islands or adjacent mainland, are very rocky and may require considerable reconnoitering before a suitable campsite can be found. And be prepared to share the water with many large cabin cruisers, especially in the Baie Fine area, which has attracted the high-priced powerboat crowd since the 1930's.
