Camp Notes:
Large sandy beach landing that conveniently morphs into a more gravel like area near the fire grate and beyond. There is good log seating and a large sawn off stump that can serve as a great table or stool. A lush, cooling grove of cedar trees provide multiple areas for tents & hammocks. There is even a unique cedar right near shore that provides a great perch from which to rest & catch the lake breeze on for those nimble enough. Firewood was tough to come by in camp but, there's an abundance of old beaver wood around the lake that can easily be gathered when out & about.

By far the BEST campsite I have ever been on in the BWCA! Sandy beach that slopes into the water perfectly for the easiest landing you could ever ask for. The site has a great Cedar canopy that we pitched the tent under - room for a couple more tents. Great kitchen area, lots of trees for hanging food or hammocks. Caught some nice Bluegill just down the shore from camp. Site is pretty secluded - not much traffic.

Camp Notes:
Large beach campsite. Excellent boat landing and good swimming. It has 2 decent tent pads under the shade of the cedars. Possibly a spot for a third tent outside the tree line, but it would get constant afternoon sun. The closeness of all the cedar trees would make this a good site for hammocks as well. Caught some large bluegills from shore. Largest was 10.5 inches.

The sandy beach was a great landing and great for swimming but we found that the sand got into EVERYTHING. Our bags, clothes, food. Otherwise a very nice site.

Excellent site, off the beaten path so pretty quiet. Great common/kitchen area, lots of tarp room, good tent sites, nice bear hang tree right in camp if that's what you do, awesome sand beach landing and swimming. Okay sunset view, no sunrise view.

Killer site. There is a 50 foot stretch of white
sandy beach here. No joke. Great swimming, and
great walleye fishing to the north of the site.
Large camping area in the cedar forest behind the
beach.
