I've been looking at going in to Crocodile lake for my daughters 1st trip. I am just curious if anybody has had an issue with not finding a campsite when permits have been taken for quite a few days prior to yours. If every permit is taken for a week and there is only 4 campsites and groups prior to you are all staying multiple days, where do you camp at if its full? Do you leave and go home? I planned on entering in through East Bearskin with a Crocodile Lake only permit. Thanks everyone!

We were there in early June, permits were taken for the days before we entered and we were able to find a campsite. I think 3 of the 4 sites were taken although we never ventured into the eastern side of the lake. We found the first site open by the portage and just took it. I didn't feel like paddling all the way to the east side of the lake only to possibly find those sites taken, so we just took the first site. I think the 2nd site you come to if you come in from East Bearskin is the nicer one of the two on the west side of the lake

Beautiful lake, best walleye fishing I've ever had. Message me if you want to know where we caught our fish.
