For it being 4th of July, many people canceled their sites and it was so beautifully quiet. Camp host was great also!

Did not go because of the fires. The campground ended up being evacuated so, we paid but did not get to enjoy a trip.

Site 22. Amazing campsite overlooking the lake that gets beautiful morning and midday sun. Great spot for stargazing and watching the wildlife activity on the lake at dusk and dawn.

This is a basic forest service campground at the edge of the bwca. Sites are quite private. The setting is what we truly appreciated. We’d go back.
