I'm not sure how anyone could give this less than 5 stars. I've been to the BWCA 20 times and this is the best campground I've seen. A gem.

This is one of the best sites on Insula. Firegrate is up against a huge boulder with rocks on both sides for setting things and a nice flat table on on the left side of the grate, plus a bonus flat serving table. Nice big logs in a big rectangle will seat a large group around the fire. Private cove and sandy beach. Great tarping trees. Great hammock trees down by the water. Numerous tent pads. Faces West for great sunset views. View of mix of non-burn and burn could be considered a plus or a minus (since there is view of the burn). Sunrise lights up one section of burn that makes the tall pines turn white.

Fantastic island campsite. Elevated grate, room for a cooking fly and numerous tent pads. Great beach and shallow area to swim. Easy to walk shoreline for exploring and fishing.

This is a really nice spot! We saw a moose at this campsite, too. The fire grate looks like something out of Game of Thrones. Several tent pad options, three were decent.
