BWCA Campsite 1444 on Knife

This campsite has a better landing than it first appears. If you are coming from the west, it looks like you need to land right in front of the site, but if you continue a little farther east, there is a nice gravel and grass landing that is wide and easy to use. The campsite itself is basically on a rocky hillside. The kitchen has a screened view of the lake, with a tiny window to the west and brush blocking much of the view to the east. It does not seem like enough cover to block the wind completely, so you may still get a breeze moving through camp. There are white pines along the shore, with some red pines, spruce, and a mix of other trees within the site. The tent pads are in a shaded area under a big spruce, but they are lumpy. I would call it one good tent pad and two maximum tent pads, though none of them are great. This is not the best site for tent camping, but hammock campers may be able to find a spot farther along the hillside where there are some red pines.

Lumpy site, 1 OK tent pad, ugly
