BWCA Campsite 2006 on Amoeber

This is a beautiful site on a beautiful lake. The landing is a little awkward, but it is certainly doable and I have dealt with worse. The campsite sits on a small rock knoll on an island. The fire grate and kitchen area have a small window out to the lake, while the rest of the site is surrounded by trees. There are mostly cedars along the shoreline, and the tent pad area has cedars, spruce, and balsam. I found three good tent pads that are large, flat, and smooth, plus several additional places where tents could go. I would call it three good tent pads and seven maximum tent pads. The woods behind the site are open enough that you could make do in several spots. Because the woods are so open, the latrine is visible from the main camp area, especially when the leaves are not fully in. Even with that limitation, this is a great campsite on a great lake, and I could see rating it very highly.

There are several landings around the island. The fire grate area has a view and a little cover. I appreciated whoever build the furniture on this site. It has nice seating with back rests and a quality end table. There are lots of tent pad options and plenty of trees for an island site. The Latrine location isn’t great, but I wouldn’t let that deter you from an otherwise outstanding campsite. Hike to the top of the island north of this site for an awesome view of Amoeber and the surrounding lakes.

Great site. One of only two on Amoeber Lake. Didn't check out the other site. Landings weren't the best but still very doable. Plenty of nice tent pads. Unknown how they are in inclement weather, since the weather was great while we were here. We (only two of us) tucked our tent back in the tree a little. Not a lot of brush surrounding the toilet. Could be an issue for a larger group. Kinda oxymoronic to say, "mosquitos were bad", but they were when we were there. Great ledge to relax or fish off next to kitchen area. Nice large kitchen area with lots of seating. Can swim right off the landings. Stayed a couple of nights before heading back in the direction of the Moose lake entry point.

Nice spot. Kind of a "docking berth" landing option that I found really handy. Wildlife obviously gets fed a lot -- squirrels and snappers hang around all the time. Within easy earshot of the other Amoeber campsite if they're being loud, though.

Landing is a bit cumbersome. Canoe storage not the best. Fire grate is elevated and offers a good view of the lake but was a little exposed. Awesome tent pad back in the woods with a couple of decent ones as well. Plenty of trails for exploration and firewood gathering.

THIS IS A GREAT SITE. The main tent pad is the most ideal tent pad I've ever had. Lots of tree cover and soft ground. Great for hanging a tarp for heavy rain. The fire grate area is high up with fantastic views and great breeze. Plenty of places to store your canoe. Great put in put out for the canoe. Only negative is the john has little privacy so just tell your campmates to look away. 5/5 easy.

This is a nice site and the group before us left all sorts of fire wood stacked near the fire pit. We returned the favor when we left. We got nailed by a big thunderstorm in our time here.

Great for 5 guys on hammocks - 2 near the shore, 3 in the cedar grove with plenty of space. Fire grate/kitchen area big with great seating. Shoreline was good. Open in middle for star gazing. Awesome location for Bush wackin' up to 1600-1700' elevation peaks for awesome views.

A nice site for a smallish group. Larger groups might prefer the other site on Amoeber. Good landing that can be a little tricky depending on water levels. Excellent kitchen and seating areas.

Great island site, open and flat, with hiking trails off back porch, large kitchen and good for multiple day layover
