Queer Lake – Campsite #1
I was able to tell immediately that this campsite rarely gets used. The landing was overgrown and there was a crazy amount of firewood (a full tree at the front of the campsite just waiting to be processed)… two signs that the site isn’t being used frequently. Although the garbage surrounding the fire pit, while very disappointing, also showed that people had been there relatively recently. If you’re travelling the Tim River and arrive on Queer Lake late in the evening, you might want to take this site instead of paddling through the main body of the lake just to find everything else occupied. It also offers complete privacy from the other campsites on the lake. But otherwise, I can’t see a compelling reason to choose to camp here compared to some of the nicer site options.
