I feel like the "Long Marsh" campsite just up-river from the Perly Dam portage and campsites was better, if only because it wasn't on the portage trail. There were a few logging artifacts laying about, was fairly level/flat. It wasn't super open to the river, though.
Thanks Shaggy,. Long Marsh booked instead..

the site checked most of my wishlist boxes.. My feet stayed dry, so I assume, although steep, I was able to get a boat and gear off the water. Great firepit.. faces south. Some other large rocks for laying out / drying / staging cooking gear. Some shelter from wind all around, but still pretty open site.
Dont remember the tent pad situation, so likely just fine.

Planning for a solo in September out of Kiosk, and looking for your input on route and days. 1st time in this part of the park.
Current plan is Kiosk to Erables (night 1) - Nadine (2,3)- ½ way down Nip – Perly Dam or Rolling Dam (4) - suggestions? Top end of Cedar (5) Mink (6), Kiosk (out)
Could add a few days if warranted. Will be fishing Nadine and Nip ++
Day 1 and 2 are heavy portage days. I will double carry. Add a day? Ie Kiosk to Maple, Maple to Skuce, Skuce to Nadine?
What about 3 days on Nadine?
Any reason to go clockwise instead?
Any input, advice appreciated.
thanks in advance

Trip complete and successful! What a great week to be in the park. 5 glorious Sept. days with 2 crappy rain/ wind days (both on Burntroot which was unfortunate).
Covered the same route described , with 1 night skipped on Burntroot ( miserable weather) , and 1 night skipped on McIntosh (body needed to get home).
For a guy that does very little 51 weeks / yr. It was definitely an adventure and accomplishment for me. Route was 92km paddle + 25km portages (double). Figured with sightseeing, evening paddles and fishing, 100km on the water.
Turns out I like to paddle more than I like rest days!!
I heard 1 moose on McIntosh, otherwise NO signs of moose. Others I met on the trails has similar experiences.
Couple hrs of fishing on Longer and McIntosh did not catch me dinner.
Details via trip report sometime soon.

Did a variation of this trip 3-4 years ago. It was amazing but was cut short. I've heard good things about fishing up along big/white trout and burntroot.
Tight lines! Let's us know how it goes!
Heading in Friday. will see if a novice fisherman can land a few, so thanks for encouragement!.. yes, will report back with some details after next weekend. Let the adventure begin!

thanks to all for the comments, suggestions, cautions, and excitement!!
Yes, @Cody 'Trout' was meant to be White Trout on the way to McIntosh

Jealous.
God, I want to go on that trip. But my wife is very pregnant with my 2nd kid/future-portage-mule and would kill me in very public and celebrated manner if I went out of cell range. Maybe if I tell her I'll take the 3yr old...Sometimes it might seem a bit like you are suffering right now. But relish it. These days will be gone in a blink of an eye.
Welll... my youngest is off to Univ in 10 days.. no commits at home. Seemed like a good excuse to plan this trip. Yes, enjoy the young years. Time does fly by.

Planning my longest solo into the park. 8 or 9 days. Mid September.
Canoe – Little Otterslide (night 1). – Big Trout (2) - Burntroot (3,4,5) – Trout (6) McIntosh (7,8) – Canoe (out)
Open to modifications / suggestions / guidance on things not to miss etc
For Burntroot, plan on exploring and fishing Perley, Robinson, maybe WhiskeyJack. For the 3 night stay - Burntroot or Redpine? I have read good things about both. Advantages? Weather? Shelter?
I could cut 1 day off Burntroot/ Redpine if better elsewhere
thanks in advance

Went the other direction from Sunbeam to Burnt Island a couple weeks ago. no mud, all clear. I will note that the Sunbeam to Treefrog section follows the path of the tornado from last fall. Pretty impressive damage .
Cant speak to the Aster to TT section. I went up thru Vanishing pond. Not ugly, just not fun.

Waterbomber, Thank you!.. Friday night solo on Sunbeam. Big VERY low flying plane. I couldn't figure it out. Yes, crazy dry.
FYI, the South Island site on Sunbeam is obliterated. direct hit of a microburst / tornado last fall.
