I was in this camp for a week during July. I agree with the statements that this is one of the best camps you will find. Lots of room for tents and people and has good hammock locations. Is on the main route so it is very sought after. The grate in the fire pit is broken but can still be used. The Forest Service latrine is different from all of the others I have ever seen and is the Hilton of outdoor toilets. There is a sand beach landing around the point for easy landings and a nice place to view the sunset in the evenings.

Probably on the top five list for sites in the BWCA. Beautiful views, large space, beach, stream, and table rock down by the shore.

Welcome to the Saganaga Vista Retreat and Spa. With ample room you and your family & friends will be able to relax with your feet in the shade and your head in the sun. Enjoy the sandy swimming beach or lounge at the rocky point with vistas of Cache Bay. After a day of sun and fun, retire to the generous bosom of a warm hearth. Book early as this popular destination is hard to come by.

Site is on the point, with a granite outcropping. No good landing at the point, but if you go around the corner to a sandy beach with a stream, there is a trail that leads to the site. It is a massive site with 3 levels. nice sunning rock by the water, a very open 2nd level with the firepit, then room for more tents/hammocks on a 3rd level, with the latrine further into the woods. Only thing keeping this from 5 star would be the beach access is a little walk from the main site. Very nice site! I did not stay, just checked it out as I was passing through.

This site is HUGE! We landed on the nice sandy beach and walked up to see our options. There are a LOT of places for tents and some options for hammocks. Walking up from the beach, there is a flat section near the water with good views and great breezes. Up higher is the kitchen and more tent pads. The latrine is "fancy" for the BWCA. :) This spot was very spacious. This site made an really easy morning of paddling the next day to get to our pick up at Rocky Point.
