Kawishiwi Lake Rustic Campground

Convenient campground to enter the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness at Kawishiwi Lake. I wouldn’t recommend staying here just to camp, but I imagine most folks use this location as an easy access to this entry point. One vault toilet, easy lake access with plenty of room to back down close to the water, and 5 first come first serve sites. The sites are quite small and closed in with enough room for a tent, hammock and one spot to park. The parking lot is quite large and busy for this entry point. This is a rustic campground so if you’re looking for amenities nearby take a look towards Sawbill Campground.

Best rustic campground I’ve seen in Superior National Forest. It’s an entryway for the BWCAW so lots of traffic but they are there for a night at most. The campsites are flat and every one of them has its own water access for your canoe or kayak. 200 yards to the right (east) of the landing is also the best canoe campsite ever. It has a beach that faces southwest. You don’t find beaches in the BWCAW.

BWCA access lake with great scenic views. Fishing can be good for an access lake with Smallies (biting on a wacky worm rig) near the shorelines and boulders, mostly smaller. Few reefs near the islands that the walleye (biting on chartreuse and gold jigs with pink curly tails) will sit on the top of those reefs for good morning and evening fishing opportunities. Well maintained rustic campground at the landing.

It was deep in the woods and way off the beaten path but well worth the visit!

Beautiful Lake only five campsite so get there early bring your own wood there is some logs in the forest or on the road in. Nice Beach for swimming too if you want to swim. I caught some smallmouth bass right off the shore. 14 inchers
