On the shores of Gichiegoomie in the land of sky blue waters. ;D

I love the north shore of Lake Superior, especially in the fall after all the tourists go home. You can go a long way up the Gunflint Trail from Grand Marais, it is complete unspoiled wilderness.

Also, I used to camp just north of my house in all the state forests and game refuges. When you get about five miles north of me, there is a LOAD of state and county land open for public use. I don't camp up there so much anymore because the only reason I did in the first place was to get a little privacy, ;) ahem, I am married with my own house now.

HA.  I think we have all camped for that reason!  Also, when I was at Penn State, my family's camp was only about an hour and a half away.  Drove there many times with girlfriends to get a little privacy. ;D

Woodsteam CG in Gainsville, NY. The East Koy runs through the middle of the CG and Silver lake is 10 munutes away. A great variety of fishing.

Mine would be on the water at Allagash Lake in Maine.  Right on a point on the water-great fishing.  Only accessible by canoe and a 3 hour paddle.  No motors allowed.  Plenty of wildlife an no camps on the water.  True seclusion.

I don't like to camp around anyone else like stacked side by side in a campground.

I hear that.  I have taken my kids to places like that a few times - there is one near home that we can get to on short notice - but it's not ideal.

Watch out for those pesky aliens up there though!! Those four fisherman were "probed" in some uncomfortable ways by a whole slew of aliens a few years back!!
