I haven't booked anything yet .. traditionally I go during the week and so I've never had trouble getting sites so I book closer to leaving .. but for those that are booking more recently, is it also booked up a lot mid week?  

If the answer is yes then that's a big miscalculation on my part .. 

It depends on when, and where. If "where" is any of the lakes that are easy to get to, and "when" is any time after the bugs start subsiding, then you're probably in trouble. If the "where" is more remote or the "when" is bug season, then you're probably fine. 

Having not actually been out yet this year, I still feel safe in calling it a low water year - not much snow, and a bone-dry Spring. So if you were ever to get in trouble in July on Maple Creek it just might be this year. But I don't think I've heard of it becoming downright unnavigable, so I imagine you'll survive. Upstream isn't terribly fun - the 805 meter portage, in particular, is a very steep climb. 

Maple and Erables are both nice, as UpTheCreek said. I'm partial to the two island sites next to each other on the South of Maple - they're both really nice - but then of course you've also got a good chance of having a neighbour very close. 

Little Trout it is. You're up Abe!

Not Daisy, but in the right neighbourhood. 

Not Three Mile. 

I'd like to be back there too... or just about anywhere at this point!

I've stayed on that campsite - it does indeed have some amazing views.

Francis it is!

 I had that site reserved for May 24th. 

As you say "that site" I wonder if you mean St. Francis, which only has one campsite? Francis Lake has a few. 

I've stayed on the St. Francis site. Nice dead-end lake for total seclusion. The campsite was a bit challenging with virtually nowhere to set up a tent on flat ground, and lots of poison ivy.
