A clever graphic artist found one-star reviews of our finest national parks, and decided to turn them into promotional posters. Just brilliant!

One-Star Review Posters

Can't help but think if the BWCAW had any one star reviews, they might be somewhere between the one for Isle Royale and the one for Sequoia. Have a favorite?

Those were funny. BWCAW: Just lakes and trees... Too wet.

I couldn't keep the damn fish off my line. So annoying. One star.

Buncha loudmouth loons. Too noisy. One star.

No concession stand?!? Really? One star.

They couldn't even bother to dig canals to connect the lakes. We had to friggin' carry our canoes!!! One star.

I will paddle eternal, Kevlar and carbon.

Campsites not marked, trails very wet and bumpy, water very cold, no electrical hook ups, they wouldn't even let me launch my pontoon: One star.

Nobody made up my tent after I went fishing.
I had to cook and wash my own dishes.
The stars were so bright I could not sleep at night.
The loon alarm clock woke me up.
The bathroom facilities left a lot to be desired.

Dogs howling at night! One star.

Just put one foot in front of the other; eventually you'll get there.

The place wasn't half bad, but the other guests...OMG. Unshaven, unbathed, and bug-bitten! Seriously uncouth. One star.

Why won't the rangers shush those dogs? That makes me so mad. One-half star.

I was up shytes creek without a paddle in the BWCA.

May the rivers be crooked and winding, and your portages lonesome, leading to the most amazing view.

I read somewhere about portage monkeys. I saw zero monkeys on the portages, very disappointing. If I could give a half star, I would.

I stayed in one campsite for five days and never saw housekeeping once. Here's my tip for those slackers: One star.

Hmmm. Would that have been the 07/16/2020 portage monkey comment in the Gear Forum's 'How many still using vintage gear' thread? Sorry you didn't see them!
