BWCA Campsite 863 on Zenith

This campsite was not what I expected, but it works well. The landing is a little rocky but opens into a grassy area with room to unload and store canoes. From there, it is a climb up to the campsite, which sits back in the forest among large white pines. Views of the lake are partially obstructed, but the setting among the white pines makes up for that. I found one good tent pad down the latrine trail that is large and flat. There are additional possible tent spots near the kitchen, though they are not as good. This site would also work very well for hammocks.

Very secluded site little traffic. Climb up to the site is reasonable and the site overlooking the lake was mostly secluded by trees.

Very cool site for a small group. I liked this site quite a bit. Follow the latrine trail a short way to find an excellent tent pad you might otherwise miss until boom-boom time. Decent landing with room to unload and stash canoes off to the side followed by a climb to a high site with a view through the trees of the lake. Lots of neat pollinator activity when we were there due to all the flowering plants immediately around the site. The elevation and slight view might make one think it's exposed, and while the fire grate itself might catch a little weather, anywhere you'd set-up to sleep is quite sheltered if there's rough weather.

Nice little site tucked very far back in the bay. Elevated and not good for a large group perhaps, but great for the two of us with only one tent. Lots of big trees and easy bear rope targets. Site is mostly on two levels with the fire grate being on the top one. Best tent pad is near fire area which is quite nice. Someone left a big, flat wooded slab for filleting fish.

A very small elevated site with a nice overlook of the lake. Not much room and not very flat. Decent canoe landing. Would be a great site for a solo trip.
