BWCA Campsite 1471 on Wisini

This is a pretty small campsite with a difficult landing. There are a couple of landing options. One is right in front of the kitchen area, but there are several rocks to navigate around, followed by stairs up to the campsite. You could unload packs there and carry them up. Another option has a place to pull in the canoe and some canoe storage, but it also has rocks to work around. The site sits about six or seven feet above the water and is fairly closed in. There is a window out to the lake, and it gives a pretty nice view of the west end of Wisini, but the rest of the campsite is surrounded mostly by spruce trees. Because of that, it feels protected, but it also felt buggy when I visited. I found one good tent pad and two maximum tent pads. The ground is rocky, and I am not sure how well stakes would work even in the better tent pad. Overall, this is a small, closed-in spruce site with a decent view but limited tenting and a buggy feel.

Very buggy and hard to find from the water

Need to be right on top of the site to see it from the lake. Marginal fire grate area, bumpy tent pads and not a lot of excess room. Firewood was available near camp.
