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!

Excellent campground. Chik-Wauk nature center and museum was great to visit.

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...

We had a lovely time at the campground in spite of the very dry weather. The biffy was clean. The picnic tables were pretty worn and the wood was splitting. The campsite was level and worked well for our 20 ft trailer.
We had fun in the lakes with our kayaks, canoes and paddle boards.

We were concerned about the garbage situation when we arrived. The garbage was all over, and we actually saw a large bear behind it. I know due to the fires there have been some problems with the bears and I think they were trying to remedy the garbage situation. Otherwise, the campground and campsight that we had (23) was well maintained and beautiful.

Bathrooms/outhouses were not cleaned regularly. Other campgrounds we have used are much better maintained. They even had hand sanitizer. We realize that the campground is getting heavy use but the floors never looked like they had been cleaned. We stayed 3 nights.
