The best thing about the campsite is the solitude. You will probably see very few visitors back here. There just are not that many people that go through Bridge. The landing is rocky, and the difficulty probably depends on water level. I was there with high water, and there were a couple of nice rock shelves that I could step out on. With low water, though, I can see it being difficult. The site is fairly open, but there is only one good tent pad. Can set up hammocks in multiple spots.

Only stopped to swim and have lunch. Looked to have 1 ok tent pad with the option for 2 more. I didn't see a real level pad but I think one can make due. Lots of down trees but very open camp area. Rocky landing that might be hard with getting gear out. Without gear we did manage. The good part is you will have the lake to yourself. Otherwise it is just a ok site.

Amazing site on a quiet lake (only site available on Bridge!). Saw one other group throughout our 5 days! Site is well protected from the elements, has many great tent pads (we only hammock camped and that fit 6 of us), the fishing was absolutely amazing, we caught over 40 fish just on this lake in our 3 days fishing all good eating size, including some large fish for fun catching. We caught small mouth bass, Northern, walleye and sunfish. I’d recommend this site for multiple reasons! Hope you enjoy it!

Very quiet nook of the BWCA. Caught Walleye and Northern in the bays across to the north. The only good tent site out in the sun, don't plan on napping here in the summer. Landings are rocky but manageable.
