BWCA Campsite 1435 on Knife

This is a beautiful, secluded campsite in a quiet cove. Good landing. Good layout. There's a small lake behind it that you can hike to, and it's wonderful to hear the loons fly back and forth to it. A stream flows from that lake and contributes to a beautiful mist in the mornings. Birding and other wildlife are excellent. We were enjoying ourselves so much that we were considering staying an additional night; however, we were very loudly approached by a couple from the climbing community at about 7PM on our second evening. They asked when we were leaving, and when we told them we were considering staying, they told us that they would be bringing a large group of people through our campsite the next morning in order to use a climbing area behind it. After they left, we heard them the rest of the evening from across the lake. We're surprised and saddened to find that this is how the climbing community treats the wilderness and the people they encounter there. It’s worth considering if you stay at this site that they’ve decided is only for their climbing community.
