Spacious

This was our first campground from Windigo port. We saw a mom and a calf moose in our first 5 minutes of hiking after checking in with the rangers. Overall the campground and sites were pretty spacious, we could've fit more tents if needed. There was an outhouse and each site had a fire ring I believe. The water source is a small creek nearby that does get low or dry up seasonally, so plan accordingly.
