IF your solo, and you can find a place to take-out and room for a tent/hammock and string a fly, you have a campsite. I've never seen a lake that size with NO place that you couldn't make a spot do.

Nothing in the QJ portage info about campsites on Bart either.

Out of curiosity, how often do you guys find yourselves needing to bushwack a campsite when you are solo?


I've done it 2-3 times when bad weather hit or I over-estimated how far I could go and a tough portage adjusted my attitude. Maybe 2x just because the area looked so good.

The ability to camp ANYWHERE in the Q is a big plus in my view. After all, at one time EVERY campsite started as a bush-whack.  ;)

I have the right gear to set-up anywhere which is key if you need or want to bushwack a camp.

I'm sure we've all passed thru small lakes that we thought would be great to stay on and explore/fish but moved on because there was no established campsite. I like having the option of staying IF I want too.

A tandem crew could do it easily too IF they were both "hangers". Just need a spot to land and a little open ground and some trees.
