Sprawling campsite on the south end of the largest island on Big Lake. Since this campsite is outside of the BWCA, there is a picnic table here. Many tent pads. Easy landing for canoes and motorboats. Can accomodate huge groups. Great shoreline access. Good stargazing with views of the sky in many directions.

Canoe rests on a huge flat rock platform. The water only very gradually deepens, so landing canoe here is easy process. Direction of view is to the south.


Big Lake Campsite 2
Bonus picnic table at this site. This isn't in the BWCA. Visitors to the BWCA often use this site on the night before they enter the Boundary Waters or on their exit date. Motorboaters often camp here too.
