★★★★★ 5.0 Ryan Coleman · Jul 2025

No frills campsite. Vault toilet. No water. BWCA traffic and parking, BRT as well. A few open canopy sites, four or five secluded ones. All have fire rings.

★★★★★ 5.0 Cameron Stone · Apr 2020

Great little campgroung...been there many times. This is a great spot from which to jump off into the BWCA, either to the north through Little John lake OR to the southwest through Pine lake. Easy access to the Border Route trail from this area, it's right there! See full video representation of this campground on YouTube: McFarland Lake Campground. Old McFarland is a relatively shallow lake and warm waters in the summer. Full video showcase on YouTube:)

No running water but it has access to the Border Route Trail and lake McFarland.

★★★★★ 5.0 Mike Flack · Sep 2023

Quiet area. Dark at night so you can see the stars better.
