camping on cut foot sioux

[mrjigger]

I was thinking of taking my son camping for the first time. Wanted to do something a little more primitive. I read that there are backcountry campsites on Cut Foot Sioux lake in the chippewa National forest. The sites are accessible by boat only. I was wondering if anyone has camped at these sites and what they are like? Also what is Cut Foot Sioux like? Is it highly developed? I don't want to be setting my campsite up next to some guys cabin. How good is the fishing?

thanks for any help you can provide.

I have never camped there but we like to stop and grill at these sites when we are fishing in the spring and the fall. They have a fire ring and a small grill the will swing over the fire ring. There will be a trail to a primitive outhouse area but there is no house just a hole. The sites are around 100 feet apart so if there is someone next to you they will be hard to see. The spot we like faces Battle Point and has a decent beach to park your boat. I know that there are spots on Battle Point as well but I have never stopped there. No matter what spot you will have a great view and for the most part it will be all wild with eagles overhead and loons calling away. There are 3 resorts in cutfoot but no cabins and the fishing is good for walleyes and panfish.
