scoped this out as an option to stay the night. i must have missed something because this did not seem like a camp site for me. i found no fire pit again.....maybe i missed something) and i assume everyone passing thru the area would be portaging right thru here. if you had a free standing tent, and bugs were bad, you might consider setting up on the large rock point. might be decent shore fishing.

We weren't planning on staying at this site but once we got there and checked it out the features it has made us change our mind. On the top of the bigger spillway there is a great swimming area that has a shelf to sit on in the current. The bottom of the site has a great rock pier for fishing the current on the bottom side of the rapids. The site has big fractured rocks that are pretty fascinating. I was worried about being right on the portage but we did not see anyone else in the day that we stayed at this site.

Scoped this out on the way back north and kinds wished we'd have stayed here. We did portage through the site but the water was raging and the real portage, which we used going south, is across the smaller chute to the east of this "island" site (& was flooded when we used it). So you could have folks coming through...but there is another option for those travelers. Site is kind of expansive and should have really solid fishing opportunities. Options for hammocks and for tents are plentiful. Nice enough kitchen area. Roaring rapids and views to match. Negative: have to paddle elsewhere for latrine needs. 3.216 stars.

Was concerned about staying right on the portage but didn't see a soul the whole 2 days we were there. Our trip was during the border closure and some parts of the park were under fire restrictions, so we might have benefited from lower than normal traffic.
2 good tent pads, swim in the stream, decent fishing nearby. Saw a moose across the bay in the reeds. Although there is shade, no real place to hang a tarp if weather turns bad.

Has seen a lot of use and wind damage from when I passed through in 2016. Very nice flat rock peninsula, room for a tent or two. A nice place to stop before going out.

The portage runs through the middle of the site

site is basically an island....flowing water on each end, and, it's also the portage. We did fit 4 solo tents scattered around and get a tarp up. Overall a nice site.

Stayed at this site in June of 2003. It is next to a short portage between Bud and Beg lakes there is also a short stream that flows from Beg to Bud along side the campsite and another campsite (1EM) on the other side of the stream. There is a lot of exposed and fractured rocks with very deep crevaces. Tree growth at the site is sparce due to the predominance of exposed rock.
