This shoreline of Bigshell Lake is an approximately 1.5 km long sand beach. So you could camp anywhere along the length of it if you like camping on a beach. There is a First Nations hunt camp closer to the south end of the beach, so be respectful of that. I would recommend the campsite further south on the peninsula with the two huge glacial erratic boulders. I don't like camping on beaches...so only two stars.
