Looking for a five day adventure. Would like to canoe as much as possible, but I am up for whatever.

There are no campsites per say in PMA's you can camp in PMAs if you get a permit from the forest service when you get your permit, there are lots of good areas but you will have to do some work to get to them, Sunday lake in the beartrap pma is nice but will take a couple of days to get to, Raven lake in the mugwump pma is nice also it's a long day or 2 shorter days to get to. I always enjoyed Explorer lake very pretty it's in the spider PMA. There are lots of choices just depends what your looking for.

I've never seen any trip reports or information on Solitude Lake just off of Ima Lake. Maybe give that one a shot and post a picture. Looks like a pretty lake with about a 35 rod or so bushwhack from Ima Lake to reach it. Three Eagle Lake is nearby if you are looking for an "easy" PMA Lake off of Jordan Lake.

We will be using the site for sleep only. Just don't like being by people.

Sticking to the PMA spirit, I don't think I'd camp more than 2 nights at any one spot in a PMA....just to keep impact low on the site. Maybe you are a low impact camper, in which case, go for it. Just my 2 cents.
Sterling Lake in the Sundial PMA has always had high praise.

Sundial PMA; Sunday lake, Sterling Lake, and the beartrap river is a nice area, nice route. As long as you keep moving, it can be an easy 5 day trip via Mudro, beartrap, sunday, iron, friday bay, wagosh, gun, fourtown back to mudro.
