What is the difference between the Quetico Park and the Boundary Waters?
The Boundary Waters campsites all have a fire grate and a latrine box. The Quetico sites do not so you are responsible for your own latrines and to bring a grate to set your pots on over the fire. The other significant difference is that the Quetico only gives out about 1/5 the amount of permits as the BWCA. If you are coming during peak season (end of July, first 2/3 of August) you should try to go to the Quetico. You’ll also use the Headstart Launch service, your RABC permit, an Ontario license, and pay Quetico Camping fees if you head to the Canadian side.
