I did not stay here in 2024 but have in the past. This island did not get burned in 2021 and is a great site. Many level tent spots and even two fire pits depending on the wind. Perfect for base camping. I stopped here for lunch and did not find any garbage despite the heavy use for WCPP. If you are paddling west into the Park you will realize that there are not many campsites like this due to the recent fires. Please keep it clean.

Huge campsite, very well used (almost too used) with great views over the lake. There's a rock on the south side of the site in case of strong north winds. I've stayed here many times over the years and despite being well used, it's worth the stay.

Massive, beautiful campsite. Lots of room to spread out, healthy green trees and beautiful views. There are three fire pits on this site, my favourite being on the rock outcrop on the western most point. We caught average size pike from shore. A tin boat from the nearby outpost drove past the island but it didn't bother us the least.

This is a good campsite and wouldn't hesitate to use it again. I don't take good notes on number of tent pads, but it was good enough for me!

This campsite is OK worthy of a nights stay but I wouldn’t stay much longer. Fire pit had old grate and tin can in it.
