If getting away from literally everything (you can't even get AM radio up here) is what you're looking for in a camping experience, this is far and away the spot perfect for your next trip. We absolutely love it here!

Beautiful quiet campground, on a beautiful lake full of Sunfish and Crappies. Can’t wait to go back and see the loons!

Unfortunately, due to the fires in the Quetico/Boundary Waters area, we were restricted from entry to our campsite. We are hoping for a refund.

Facilities were as expected. Unfortunately mosquitos were abundant 24 hours/day, making it hard to enjoy any time outside of screened tent or vehicle. Fortunately i had a kayak and could escape the bugs once i paddled away from shore. Tried hiking some trails but mosquitos would swarm so thick that it became impossible to enjoy.
