BWCA Campsite 2016 on Little Trout

Clearly visible from the portage to Ram, but I found the the traffic pretty low. Average landing with a nice flat spot for sitting in a camping chair and having morning coffee. A bit of a climb up to the fire pit, but there is good footing on the way up. There was a leaning pine over the main path to the site that had some branches cleared so you could pass under it. Fire pit is average and faces South. The main camp area is open and flat. I found hammock trees pretty limited, especially if you're looking for flat land underneath the hammock. The trees I chose on the north edge of the main camp, were lifting off of the rock in high winds, especially the one on the left side of my hammock photo. Be careful hanging from that tree! The Stauber is located in a nice cedar forrest a good ways from camp. Overall, a nice site and I would be OK staying there again.

Easily the best site on the lake. Easy, pull-in gravel landing with just a couple of rocks to avoid. There is a climb up to the kitchen. The kitchen is an "open floor plan," but it is sheltered on all sides with no real view. Despite not having a view (something that is usually important to me), it still felt homey, and I almost called it a day and stayed here. All of the tent pads are up by the kitchen. The trail to the latrine is semi-difficult with a few ups and downs.

Nice landing. Climbs up a rocky knob to an open firegrate area. Some "O.K." tent pads. Not many sizeable trees in the immediate vicinity limiting tarp options. Even though the site is up 20 feet from the lakeshore there are no decent views in any direction as trees around the perimeter shelter the site. Still, it's the best site on the lake.
