This campsite has a large and very accessible canoe landing. The fire grate is on top of a rock shelf and there are nice views of the lake from there. There are at least four tent pads, but they all have an 'unused look' about them, given that they each have a thick carpet of grass covering them. Would surmise that this campsite is lightly used. Plenty of shoreline access. The campsite is close to the BWCA Entry Point 32 portage landing, but it is hidden behind some islands at the very edge of the Boundary Waters border, so it's a relatively peaceful location nonetheless.
