BWCA Campsite 1237 on Neglige

This is an old campsite that has been removed since the area became part of a Primitive Management Area. There are no designated campsites, fire grates, or latrines, so this should be treated as a PMA camping spot where Leave No Trace practices apply. There is a fire ring here, though strictly speaking it should be dispersed after use, and it is obvious that people continue to use the area as a campsite. The fire ring is on a slightly sloping rock with a good view of the lake. The tent pad area could probably fit two tents, but I would call only one of those a good pad. For a PMA site, this was more than I expected, and I actually liked it. Compared with the peninsula site, I might slightly prefer this one, though both have advantages and disadvantages. This site has a lot of spruce and balsam, with a few cedars mixed in. I did not notice white pines right around the main campsite at first, though I later saw a couple of young white pines back in the woods. Overall, this is a pretty decent PMA option.

There is a smooth sloping rock face down to the lakeshore. Making for a decent landing. A good view down most of the lake. You might be able to squeeze a couple of smaller tents in there. But the pads were completely saturated with water when we were there. There is a bit of an overlook of the lake just up behind camp. Since this lake is in a PMA the firegrate and latrine have been removed. So you'll need special permission to camp here. There is also a marginally more accomodating site (IMHO) located on the small narrow peninsula extending off the north shore.
