nice park with views of lake. stayed 4 days with 42 ft 5th wheel. Would visit again
A little slice of heaven. Luxuriate on the dock in the sun or hang at your shelter. Wednesdays and Saturdays Rolf and Candy stop by for a talk on the moose-wolf study, which is very cool. Make sure to sign the guest log and check out the magazines and books on offer. We stayed here our fourth night out of five on the island doing the Greenstone from Windigo.
A beautiful spot to camp. My only complaints are that the outhouses need maintenance more often and the food locker locations should be added to the posted campsite map so they’re easier to find. The barrel locker by the pavilion was full and after a search I found larger lockers at the group sites that had plenty of room, but at the end of a day it would have been nice to know where to look.
Great destination! Enjoyed the open trail and peaceful outdoor atmosphere.
Kind of congested.
