If you have the National Geographic TOPO! program, you can download from
the TOPO! site a waypoint file of BWCAW campsites. Supposedly this was
created with the assistance of the BWCAW administration. Unfortunately,
this file is in a proprietory format, so it is useless without the TOPO!
program. You can also download a portage routes file for the same program.

I suggested a couple of years ago that the Apostle Islands National
Lakeshore administration publish the waypoints for the campsites on their
Web site, but as far as I know, they have not done so yet. I was unable to
find one campsite because of an inaccurately printed map.
