BWCA Campsite 323 on Clam

This is basically an unused campsite. The landing is a grassy area with very tall grass, and it was hard to pull the canoe in and get out because I had to jump onto a grass clump and then onto shore. I could not get the canoe close enough to shore to really pull it up well. The campsite itself is very small and is mostly just a fire grate on top of a rock, raised about six feet above the water. It does have a nice view of this private lake, but there is not much else to work with. I did not find any good tent pads, and there is only one possible place where a tent could maybe go. The whole campsite is basically on one small rock, including the fire grate, the one possible tent area, and even the latrine, which is only about ten steps away. There are several tall jack pines around, along with a few cedars and spruce, but overall this is a very small, little-used site with no good place to put a tent.

Lumpy landing and a grassy climb up to the site proper. Nice view from the elevated fire grate as there is a small island out in front of camp. This is a small cramped site but there are a couple of tent pads and there is a nice rise just behind camp that offers a great view of the lake if you are willing to do some minor bushwhacking.

No good tent pad
