Lovely campsite. I came around mid-late June. There is no service and we forgot to note down which campsite number was ours but we were able to figure that out by going to the camp host, who was quite friendly with his playful dog. Pulled in the car and walked up a couple of dirt/log steps to see the elevated campsite. This specific site sort of had two levels to it. The lower level is for the vehicle and the upper level is for the tent, picnic table, and fire pit, I enjoyed the separation of the two. The fire pit is inground. Was hoping to use the grill but the grill does not lift very high above the fire. I saw online that if you brought two vehicles, one of them would have to be parked in some sort of parking lot, but I could not find that, luckily our parking space at camp was quite large and could fit both cars. There were an insane amount of mosquitos, especially at the picnic table. A short 1-2 minute walk to the lakeside from the site. Didn't find any ticks at all in this area. The water wasn't that cold with temps of 65-70 and cloudy outside. The water is quite dirty from all the loose algae so it will cover every hair on your body in algae. This camp was not that busy and most of the sites seemed to be pretty spread out. This was a group campsite and there was room for our big 6-person tent. Overall a great time!

The rustic sites are small and best for tents and small campers. Rocky, picturesque shorelines of Crescent Lake, typical of the Boundary Waters area, do make it difficult to store your canoe near your campsite but the boat landing with pier is excellent. Many of the sites have steps up to, or down to, the picnic table and fire ring. Peaceful, quiet, no cell phones bothering you. The host in 2023, Jack, was super friendly and kept the place up very well. Outhouses were clean and always stocked with TP and the campsites had no litter, not even little bits! If you forgot any supplies, Sawbill Canoe Outfitters was 25 minutes at the end of the Sawbill Trail.
