Howdy AB.....

We paddled the north fork of the Flambeau last year the weekend after Memorial Day.  I would expect Memorial Day to be a bit busier than the following weekend, however. 

There are quite a few campsites along the river but plan to set-up camp no later than mid-afternoon.  That should assure you of a campsite.

Many of the campsites have more than one tent pad so you should be ok.  Just plan accordingly and adjust for the numbers of people on the river.  A beautiful, hot weekend will bring out the canoers.  A cool, rainy weekend (aren't all Memorial Days like that?) will keep the numbers down.

If you need some specifics about the Flambeau, I'll try to help you the best I can.  It's really a great ride.

I used to go down the Flambeau every May on opening weekend of game fishing and always did well. Our primary target was walleyes. Be prepared for cold though. I've been in t shirts and I've been in full ice fishing wear.

Cheers,
