BWCA Campsite 2219 on One

Yes, this site is overused, but it is a good site. The overuse has made it sandy, dirty, and dusty in the kitchen and on the tent pads. Large and sprawling with trails all over the island. The tent pads are spread out down various trails. Two good tent pads (one large and one small) are next to the kitchen on the east side of the island. A couple of other tent pads are found on the west side (the quiet side because most of the traffic passes on the east side of the island). The landing looked narrow but not too difficult on some flat rocks on the east side. The view from the kitchen is great - slightly elevated looking east. You can get great views from many places on the island. You will see a lot of traffic, but if traffic and solitude is not a concern, this is a great option.

20 years ago this was 4/5 star campsite, now I give it a 3 - just average. I believe that storms and aging has caused a loss of a lot of the best trees and now in the main camp/kitchen area brush has grown up. Still some nice tent sites spread out around the island, best one is on the back side. Heavily used so firewood is scarce. Still one of the most popular sites on Lake One and does have a nice canoe landings/swimming area. There are still enough trees to hammock camp too.

Site is on a very small island. There are a few good tent pads, the camp kitchen area is a little rough from over use, and one can see straight through the island. Not a great site, but sees plenty of traffic on this prime location in Lake One.
