Beautiful and secluded camping spot situated between two lakes. When Siskiwit Lake was windy/wavy, Wood Lake was calm. There's a privy away from the water and a food locker near the water. If you're planning a canoe trip, I recommend going from Wood to Whittlesey instead of vice versa, as there's a hill leading down to the Whittlesey portage.

Beautiful campground, has a basic vault toilet (no TP) and multiple campsites. Food locker by the shore. Watch for leeches in the water by shore. Accessible only by water. Some great water and trees, hopefully that's something you're into.
