Outstanding location. Camp site 1 and 2 are by far the best spots, with outstanding lake view while nested in pine trees. Each spot has even its private beach. I highly recommend the area.

Beautiful site and weather but then came the forest fire risk. Gunflint Fire came to my campsite and it was voluntary evacuation but it was 8:30 at night. Had to pack in the dark but lefti was sad to lose a night at this spot. Next dat it was officially closed and mandatory evacuation. Hope fun rain and control of the forest fires.

The area is so beautiful. We had a wonderful view of the lake from our campsite. Canoeing and kayaking was great.

This location has about 60 campsites which improves your chances of getting a last minute spot. Nice location with multiple entry points to voyager in the vicinity or only a short drive away. Will come back to this location again.

I’ve been going to this campground for over 50 years. A slice of heaven on earth! Campsite #2 is super for an RV and additional tents. There used to be shade but some of the pines have died and it was sunny most of the time. A little disconcerting that there were 2 dead pines with caution tape wrapped around them saying KILLER TREE! We had some windy days and it was worrisome!

What an incredible site!! So beautiful! So sad that the air was a little smoky and what was going on in BWCA.. The water was so clear and good for swimming. It's a little deep as well. So be careful! The site was very clean.. It's a little close to the bathroom so you can smell it when the wind blows.. But the washroom was pretty clean... It was overall a great experience...
