Summary
It offers primitive, first-come, first-served camping with no reservations, permits (unless entering BWCAW), or fees required. There are no toilets, water sources, picnic tables, or hookups, though basic fire rings may be present. Suitable only for tents, not RVs. The area is heavily forested with serene lake views and a remote, backcountry vibe. Popular nearby activities include paddling, hiking, and fishing. Best visited June–September for warm weather and fewer bugs. It’s ideal for solitude seekers and experienced campers.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
