Aaron,

There are one or two campsites on the far SW end of Beaverhouse.  There used to be more but there was some serious blowdown damage on that side of the lake a few years back.  There's a pretty decent island site along that west wall towards the north end.  I don't recall any sites along the Quetico River.  There are allegedly a couple sites once you reach the Namakan, though we didn't find them (nor did we look too hard).  There are a few sites on Three Mile Lake but these receive considerable use from the locals.  They generally feature so-called "improvements", such as fish cleaning platforms, cached chairs, boats, etc..  Technically, though, these campsites aren't even IN the park, so I guess I can't beef too much about folks not following park regs.

There are a few decent sites on Wolseley (actually surprisingly few given the size of the lake).  By the way, that portage into Wolseley is very short, very flat & - at one time - featured one of the largest ant mounds I've ever seen.  I wouldn't want to upset those buggers.

You'll have the current with you as you drop down from Beaverhouse but - as you mentioned in an earlier post - those portages see VERY little usage so plan on spending extra time on them. The Namakan, however, will be flowing AGAINST you; it can be very powerful depending on the season & recent rainfall.  Nevertheless, with an early start, I would think you could make it down to the Falls to camp.   At least I managed to persuade park officials to give me a Three Mile Lake permit even though I accessed the park via Beaverhouse several years back.  They merely requested that we "make reasonable progress to the EP".  As the fishing was pretty good on the western end of Beaverhouse, we felt it would be "unreasonable" to progress any further on Day One.  I'm thinking it was Day Three before we got to Three Mile Lake.

Park1, so there's another issue for you.  You'll want to talk with park officials re: which entry permit to request.  Technically, if you enter on a Quetico Lake permit, you need to "enter" the park (ie. stick your foot into Quetico Lake) there.  Same thing with the Cirrus Lake EP, also accessible from Beaverhouse.  Technically, either way would mean miles of "backtracking" for you as there is no "Beaverhouse Lake EP".   Something tells me that not all park officials are as amenable to friendly persuasion as the ones I encountered years back.  Could be an issue for you (on the remote chance you were stopped) but probably not.  Maybe you should request the Quetico Lake EP, then make the mad dash to SW Beaverhouse before the B'house ranger spots you.

Sorry to complicate matters.  You probably already have a notion as to how you were going to handle this.  I'm not sure I'd change whatever that was.
