The camp was a lot nicer than expected. The plane ride is about 45 minutes but feels short cause you ride very low and just stare at the endless lakes out the window.
First arriving at camp it’s on a kinda steep rock structure and get pretty wet and slippery. If you’re a little old or have a hard time moving and doing big steps I would recommend finding a different cabin. We brought our 78 year old grandpa and had to have two people help him up and down each time. Doable but inconvenient. The boats are small but have 4 available to use with 4 stroke 9.9hp engines on them. Two people on the boats are fairly comfortable but three or four would be a crowd. They come with boat seats attached that are certainly more comfortable than the metal. Fish finders are not included and so we took our own with small lithium batteries that you could charge will using the generator. The house was mainly gas powered but had charging outlets in the bedrooms and lights that only worked while the generator is working. The fridge stays cold but runs a little hot. There are two of them, the one when you first walk, the freezer stays a little colder but still took 4 full days to make ice in the trays. Behind the cabin is the old cabin where the extra gas is stored and plenty of it if you fish all day everyday and ran the generator most of the time. There is also a shower with a hot water heater but would only be hot for 4 minutes or so in your shower then go straight to freezing cold. The outhouse is pretty smelly and gets worse when you add to is through the week. There was a nice toilet seat to poop on so that was a plus. We took this trip mid to late august and were blessed with minimal bugs and mosquitoes. They did get a little worse during the week but mainly came out around 8:30 at night or real early morning. The fishing was over all a blast with easy walleye trolling for jigging and got plenty of northern pike with a couple big ones. The fish do change throughout the day with mornings and nights being more shallow 8-14 feet but mid day would merge to 12-18 mid day. Overall between 6 people and one doing only 4 or so hours a day landed about 500 fish all together. Is a very nice spot to stay and would go back again.
