You could fit 20 people along this site without too much crowding. Huge beach, almost 100 yards north to south, and so much open ground among the mature canopy. I almost felt guilty that our group of two camped here but we stayed one night and saw two other groups on Alice. They had set up before us so we weren't being spoilers. Honestly, Alice has so many beautiful sites and it's not an easy paddle wherever your EP. If you make your way to this lake and this site is open you should camp here. Swim off the beach. Cast for walleye where the ledge drops off around 100ish feet west of the beach. Watch the little bear charge across the sand in search of crumbs. This was better than a tropical island retreat. I paddled, carried my luggage, cooked my food and had a good swim in cold water before laying in the sun on the sand. No cruise ship can be so rewarding!

Sandy beach/sloping rock sites. Mature trees, but open underneath. Nice in warm summer weather. Wouldn't recommend in the shoulder seasons as it'd be breezy and cold with any sort of west wind.

Very heavily used site, but very spacious and feels like camping on a beach. Mature tree cover. Good tree for bear bagging, can walk along beach for a couple hundred yards. Gently sloping sand/rock beach.

This site has a long sandy beach that allows for excellent swimming and easy boat landing. Not particularly well protected from a west wind. There is a small marsh behind the campsite which means more bugs than usual, but the wind keeps them away during the day. A fantastic site if the weather is warm.
