With over 2,000 backcountry campsites located within the Boundary Waters Wilderness, there are plenty of options for everyone to find a nice spot to camp every night. According to the BWCAW regulations, canoeists are required to camp only at official campsites, but hikers may camp anywhere as long as it’s at least 150 feet from the water. No matter where you choose to camp, make sure to burn only downed wood if you have a campfire, and clean up each of your campsites before you leave. If everyone leaves each campsite like they found it, the Boundary Waters should stay pristine for a very long time.
