Had a amazing couple of nights almost in complete solitude. The camping spots are neat roomy and have a nice fire pit. The lake and surrounding area are marvelous. Even heard wolfs howling one night.

We have stayed at the East Bearskin campground cabins numerous times over the past 10 years. They are especially welcome when it rains for days, as it did this trip. (Sometimes we’ve also had snow.) All of these rustic cabins are nice, but simple. The Alder Cabin has had some mice in it in the fall. Nothing that a couple of traps won’t solve. The last occupants left a couple behind for me but I had already brought some. Since each visitor is responsible for cleaning the cabin before they leave, it sure is nice to sweep the cabin thoroughly before leaving. Thanks to those of you who leave the cabin nicer than when you arrived.

Great Campground! Stayed in the Tamarack cabin - perfect as a bunkhouse before heading out into the BWCAW.

The cabin has two leaks. These need to be repaired. One dripped onto one of the bunks. Also, the bathroom was full and pretty disgusting
