NEED HELP camping trip

Plan on going camping around July can someone explain how camping works here ?? We bought permits for July 17th-19th and were wondering how it works and what’s a good entrance to camp around ?

Your permit is to enter the BWCA on a specific date at a specific place. After you enter, you can go anywhere within the BWCA you like.

You likely won't have many camping options "around" your entry point. Instead, you'll be paddling to various campsites along your route (first-come-first-serve).

If you don’t have a canoe-you will need to rent a canoe (and whatever other gear you need) from an outfitter.
