This site is close to Lower Basswood Falls that you can continually hear the hum of the falls. The two best camp pads are in a grassy bushy area behind the fire grate and very buggy. Good fishing off the site. Caught many smallmouth bass from shoreline.

This was a cool site with beautiful views from all view points of the site. Not far from the pictographs or LBF. Landing was good. Tent spots were reasonable, did have to dodge some rocks and roots but could position the tents to avoid them to some degree. Would be a really nice site for a small group consisting of one or two tents.

Camped here for 3 days. Easy landing for multiple canoes. Great fishing. Caught walleyes off the island next to camp. Great spot to day trip for pictographs. Overall decent campsite. Would stay here again.
