Hi all, I need help planning a small 1-2 night backcountry trip with my husband and our pup. We don’t have any experience with backcountry camping and not much camping in general (at least in adulthood). He was a boy-scout growing up and I used to RV camp a lot growing up. We have trekked into so more remote fishing spots before but never stayed overnight. Anyways, I’m looking for any and all recommendations. I’d love to find a backcountry site that is maybe a mile or so hike in, preferably up north. Thankfully my mom has gifted us her gear from her adventures to the boundary waters.

Some questions… do you need to reserve a backcountry campsite? Where do I get the maps? What do I need to know?
