Closest to Backpacking Yet!
This is a primitive campsite nestled into the boreal forest of Voyageurs NP. Great spacing and a lot of privacy. It is June and at most there are 15 campsites occupied. Mother nature also does a wonderful job with landscape architecture as usual. There are potable water sources and vault toilets(outhouses) conveniently dispersed throughout the campground– nice touch. The sites themselves have not been well maintained. They are definitely on the rustic side!
I managed to find one(#58) with a view to the northern sky so I could use Starlink. There is also a 3-bar Verizon LTE signal– surprising. As a full-timer, these things are important. There is convenient access to water and a boat ramp in the day use area. There is a lot of damage from floods some weeks ago and some of the roads and sites are not accessible. In general, it does not appear that the state puts much effort into maintenance and repair of this gem. There was no dumpsite :-(
