    Best & worst campsites ever?

    Favorite: The middle site on North Grace, Algonquin PP Worst: the solo on Frank's Lake also in Algonquin PP. I was hoping for a nice spot, the only site on the lake. I found a burnt-out fire pit where the fire went down into the roots of 2 pine trees. I didn't bother taking pictures
