Beautiful views of the bay, quick access to Basswood portage, great fishing nearby, & challenging landing area. There's not much room here for a group. This would be better for a party of three or fewer, with two or fewer tents. I was able to fit three tents plus a hammock tent.

Landing is terrible at the rock base--alongside and nose-in are equally poor. The clearing is small, but you can view entire bay from it. The single log seating is close to the water, but grate is well fortified. There are 4 tent pads in clearing, but none look comfortable. This is a desperation site if the big bays are too windy.

Very small site. The one good tent pad will only fit a small tent. Steep, rocky landing. It has a nice view, but that is about it.

Very nice site nestled in the back of the bay. Great views and protection from West winds...
