Excellent site, little close to the Falls regarding traffic but I'm a 6pm - 7am camper so it wasn't a problem. Latrine, kitchen, and tent pads are shockingly close together. Views are great and if you pull your canoe in shore you're well hidden. Wood is very plentiful even late in the season.

~10 minute paddle from Eddy Falls. Good swimming area. Great hammock trees with a view of the water. Very busy area with lots of traffic just off the landing.

The latrine is right next to camp. We strung a tarp to provide privacy as we had a coed group of teenagers. Beyond that, it's a nice site, on a high traffic route, so lots of groups peering in. Nice landing if not ideal spots to take out canoes. Nice gradual walk-out into the water for bathing/swimming.

We spent 3 nights here and it served our group of 8 well. We were able to squeeze 4 tents in and there was adequate storage for the canoes near the landing. There weren't any great trees for the bear bags, but we were able to make it work and get to a spot where we were high enough/far enough out. If anything held back the site rating for me it is that I prefer a wider view of the lake from camp than this site offered and I like sites with large rocks near the shoreline for stargazing. Also the latrine is close enough to camp that you are watching camp while doing your business. That said, proximity to Eddy Falls was a nice bonus, and the site faces north so you at least have a shot at the northern lights. If I was in the area again, I wouldn't be upset to end up here, but I would also be curious to check out other sites.

We were lucky to grab this site on SAK. Proximity to Eddy Falls gives it a big bonus. It is kind of cramped for tents and the latrine is very visible from camp. The landing is nice for 2 canoes and the fire pit is top notch. The sunset views are great. This is a 3 and worth a night or two for sure.

Nice pebble rock landing. Fire grate sits up from the lake in a lush grove of mature cedar trees. Close to Eddy falls and good fishing spots. Lots of dead and downed cedars (firewood) back in woods by latrine.

OK canoe garage. shallow, but narrow. great view of lake from pit. faces north east. tiered site. surprisingly welcoming. trees for hammocks. definitely preferred over site to the seat of Eddy falls.

Underrated site. My only complaint is that we had to get creative with a double-rope bear bag system because of the lack of good bear trees. Has an amazing kitchen, the landing is cool and there's a great spot to hide the boats. Campsite has awesome fishing spots from shore, we were NAILING the walleye as they came up within 20 feet of shore just with slip bobbers. Best site of our trip.

Nice site, lots of use. Fire pit area has some great seating. Biggest drawback to this site is the latrine overlooks the fire pit and the latrine is visible from the fire pit as well, not the best choice for coed groups. Site did have abundance of thimble berries (like raspberries but not as tasty).
