Perfect jump off for our BWCAW trip. The campground was well maintained and it seemed most campsites were situated with significant privacy. Great experience

Campsite was very clean and well kept. The host was very kind. The area and lake are gorgeous.
Access to the lake from campsites was not the easiest and noise from the resort/rental cabins across the bay was pretty constant and louder then I wanted to be around on my "Northwoods" vacation.

Nice clean campground. If there was water available, I couldn't find it!

Small rustic campground on a peaceful lake near the BWCA. Some site maintenance was very well done since prior season. We go same time every year. Love it.

Beautiful site that appears to have been recently updated. Having the fire pit down the steps form the parking space created a great secluded site. Small trail for access to the lake from the site
