Make sure to get an early start. That area east of the gunflint is can be very difficult to find an open campsite during busy times.
I would avoid dead end routes as well, such as Crystal. We paddled from East Bearskin all the way to very end of Crystal and found every site taken along the way. Only option was to back track.
It thins out a bit if you head up towards the border.
