I didn't like the site at first, but it grew on me. It has a very easy, gravel landing that doubled as a great swimming spot. The kitchen is slightly elevated with a decent view. It is a little off the main travel route, so while we saw some people in the distance, not too many came right by the campsite. The tent pads are a little rocky but flat. I could not find a good hanging tree. There is a path out to the point to the west with a sitting log and a tent pad. It is quite a ways from the main site, so I don't know how often it is used as a tent pad, but it was a nice reflection spot.

Great kitchen at this site. One very good tent pad, and a second that had some trouble draining. Both pads were well sheltered by trees. We had cell service at the site the whole trip on T-Mobile and AT&T. Latrine was getting dangerously full, and fire wood was tough to come by, but overall an above average site.
