No running water but it has access to the Border Route Trail and lake McFarland.
Great little campgroung...been there many times. This is a great spot from which to jump off into the BWCA, either to the north through Little John lake OR to the southwest through Pine lake. Easy access to the Border Route trail from this area, it's right there! See full video representation of this campground on YouTube: McFarland Lake Campground. Old McFarland is a relatively shallow lake and warm waters in the summer. Full video showcase on YouTube:)
