key to dealing with bugs at camp is to select a campsite that is on an exposed point where you can get a breeze from 3 directions - that helps a lot to keep the bugs away during the day - doesn't matter so much where you pitch the tent, just so that you have that exposure for cooking and sitting around time;  if possible, select that point away from small streams - black flies hatch in the streams



Was actually considering an island campsite, so that would help with the bugs and breeze as well.

Thanks everyone!  This really helps.  Think I'll shoot for the first week of June and just be prepared for worse case scenario as far as the bugs are concerned.
