So incredibly disappointed with what Sawbill Lake Campground has become. The transition from FCFS to partial reservations is bad enough, but now the rigs with generators, the young people with a generator to run a table saw and chain saw, loud people arguing in the middle of the night , and uncontrolled barking dogs... all over the top. And this was during the week, not the weekend! Historically this was a campground for those who enjoy tent camping and the BWCA wilderness, including the peace and quite of nature. NOT GENERATORS ALL DAY LONG!!! The reservation system needs to go...the host spent every morning changing out the tags from all the no-shows. Colossal waste of time and energy, not to mention no one else can use the site! There should be huge fines for no-shows. IMO, the Forest Service needs to stop the reservation system at Sawbill and institute a NO-GENERATOR policy. Very disappointing experience, we left 2 days early. I tried to cancel the last 2 nights so someone else could reserve it, but Recreation.gov does not allow it until AFTER the last day of the reservation. Unbelievable system. After coming to Sawbill for decades, we will not be back...

Great week, Aug 18-23. No bugs, no rain and lots of fishSawbill rental - Baker put-in - Peterson - Kelly - Burnt. Nice camp on peninsula - day trip to Smoke illusive fish there.Portage from Baker to Peterson was a bit challenging - all the rest of the portages were as anticipated.Reservation process was easy and seamless.Thank you BWCA

Lovely campground connected to a wonderful outfitter. Stayed the night before heading into the BWCA for a few days. Plan to come back with the family for a longer stay and day trips.
