There are a ton of campsites in that area, how often are they full or mostly full? There are many campsites on the BWCA.com map that are not rated - does anyone have any insight into what that means? Does that means it is a horrible campsite or maybe just one that by chance a review has never been posted. Some of them seem to be in prime locations. How far up the bay do you need to go to experience the best experience you can have, or is it all pretty much the same? Since it's Basswood Lake I assume there is pretty good fishing potential, any comments on that? I do understand that it is a popular route and also a motor route so we will have to deal with that. Honestly I have never camped in a motorized area so I don't know how much it will impact our trip. Hopefully not much. Even though Pipestone Bay is nothing like North Bay or Bailey Bay which I have paddled many years ago in the wind, I assume it can get rocking pretty good. Planning on possibly camping the night before at Fall Lake with an early paddling start, and the same on the way back to avoid the wind. Any comments on the overall plan or specifics are much appreciated. Thank you for your wisdom |

I normally avoid the motor area's but it was all that I could find late in the season. Looking forward to the easy portages this time around, sort of need that this year. Should be a good trip no matter what we run into. (better then the office) |
