We stay at Cherokee Lake campground (off of the Sawbill trail) for the night before we head into the BWCA. Cherokee lake is supposed to be nice for fishing and there are some small portages into adjacent lakes that you could take. No showers (which Sawbill campground does have for a fee) but there is water and bathrooms available.

If you get these maps, they show a lot of the SNF and different canoe put ins, hiking points, etc.
Good luck - I falling more and more in love with that area each time I go up. Can't wait until my 2 year old is old enough to bring along on some of the trips.
You're certainly in the right state. I'm guessing you're looking for established campsites with fire grates, as opposed to dispersed camping? Are you in the cities?
The Superior Hiking Trail is my recommendation for that remote feel. It runs all the way from Duluth up the north shore, with several starting points, parking lots, etc. I highly recommend picking up the guide book, which describes campsites, terrain, and water sources.
Beyond that, I know the MN DNR site has the ability to filter by use-type and activity. Look for hike-in sites. Several state parks have remote sites approximately 1-3 miles along the trail. But the SHT is my vote for pure beauty, and it can be done as a single night or a multi-day hike.
If you want truly remote, there is nothing better than the BWCA.
I have this hatchet which I got for wood working, but I'd take it camping too.
It's only 1.5 lbs, and pretty short so it'd do well in a backpack.
Since you're not supposed to cut down trees in the boundary waters anyways, a small axe/hatchet like this will do fine for splitting and chopping the downed wood you find.
Start with buying the Lake Superior Hiking Trail Guide. Only book/map you'll need for the whole trail.
Split Rock loop is a nice easy route that you can hike back to your car from.
I use a pullsaw and a big knife or axe. I have an Esee 6, though I've used a Fiskars X7 in the past, and I'm currently lusting over a Skrama.
Anything else is too much. Truthfully, an axe is mostly unnecessary. You can cut logs with the pullsaw and split them into firewood by batoning with the knife.
