	I've taken several trips into Quetico, but never been further west than Sarah. I have a large party that wants to go this year, and was thinking we might try Robinson as a destination. Does it get crowded on Robinson or would I expect to find the same numbers there I might find on Brent or McIntyre? Thanks, Alan

	Timing is everything. I went thru Sarah/McIntyre in mid-May and the parts I were on were empty except for one tandem canoe on Sarah. Passed thru Robinson saw 1 tandem canoe. There are about 10 campsites on Robinson according to the Paddle Planner but many more on Sarah and McIntyre. I'd plan away but be ready to go into McIntyre IF you need too.

	Just 2 cents worth here. I have passed through McIntyre 4 times, and camped there one of those times. Fishing was good, wind was horrible. The trips were different seasons and the travel various times of day, and always an unrelenting wind from the South. Maybe just my bad luck. MB

	Welcome aboard to QJ! Rob is a pretty lake and is mostly a pass through. The north end doesn’t see much traffic. It has lakers, waldos, bass, and northerns. There’s 2 or 3 really nice camps. I think it could be a fun destination lake. McIntyre is a great option also. Deer is a sleeper. Don’t know where you live, but if you’re coming to Copia, check out our gatherings and we can mark your maps.

	Some people talk about going there a lot. I stayed one night on an island in the north and didn't fish it. I think it would be good to basecamp at. If the wind is up there's some daytripping to smaller lakes in the neighborhood. There's Cecil to the east and you also could daytrip a loop into Bart to the west. What month are you intending on doing this? I doubt you would have trouble finding a site, but I usually go in late August and September.

	Thank you all for the replies! We're going to be there in early August, if all goes well, we'd land in Robinson on 8-2. We're probably going to be 8 strong this year, and we'd like to be close enough to eat dinner together, but don't want to overload a campsite if we can possibly help it. I'm from Oklahoma, so the Copia is probably not something I can make, but if I did, I'd look you guys up!

	The island on the north end of Robinson has two campsites on the south end. They are close enough to walk from one to the other. Might be worth checking for your group. dd

	The biggest island on Robinson (north central area) has one beautiful, roomy campsite with both beach and deep water areas of shoreline. Faces southeast. Also campable on west side of same island on flatish rock area and is a short easy walk across island between them. It is one of my favorite lakes and campsites. I've been there several times and do not recall seeing many people. I usually exit out the south end into Moose Bay off of Basswood River.
