Boundary Waters Canoe Area, North Temperance Lake Backcountry Camping Site #905

The Boundary waters north of Ely Minnesota do not disappoint. Rugged portages and untamed nature!!! It’s absolutely beautiful. If you are going during the summer months BRING BUG SUITS!!!!

This campsite has a great landing spot for canoes. We had 4 canoes and there was plenty of room for all 4 right off the water on flat land. There was also flat spaces for our 3 tents. The trees around the campsite allow for hanging hammocks and clothes drying lines.

The latrine (pit toilet) is located on an upward hike through very brushy areas. The fire pit is located on a large rock, but there are logs positioned around as seating.

There are 2 points off of this campsite, which made great sunbathing and fishing spots. In the evening hours, we caught many smallmouth bass and walleye, which was fun and delicious!

During our stay, we even saw an adult male moose swimming across the lake!

Overall, this campsite is a quiet getaway, we rarely saw any other canoes, and we enjoyed our stay!
