There are 5 primitive campsites at this campground. They are all free. There all nicely spaced apart. There is one outhouse and no running water. There is a Portage for both mcfarland lake and little john lake. Nice clean lakes. McFarland has a boat launch and motorized boats allowed on the lake. All the other lakes are in the boundary waters and boats are not allowed. Canoes and kayaks are. There is a self issuing permit station located at little john lake portage.
