Normally I'd give this a 3 or even 3.5 stars but I want to balance out all the optimistic 5-star ratings. This might be one of the best sites on Badwater Lake but it's exposed to weather, the best tent site is FAR from the boat launch and it's just not deserving of so many stars compared to so many other Quetico sites. See photos for more details.

Stopped for lunch here. By far the best site on Badwater. Nice swimming rocks and high viewpoint for the kitchen and tent sites.

Very nice camp site with open space and visual appeal. Protected canoe cove and great kitchen

This site is on a big finger of granite sticking out into the lake. Great views in both directions, but the firepit is very exposed to wind. 4.5 stars
