We spent a day and a night here at the beginning of August. Fire pit/kitchen area has a nice view and fantastic benches but there is NO shade. There are a few tent spots that are isolated from each other... nice for a group of individuals sleeping separately, bad for a family or those wanting to be close together. There are 2 good tent sites in the trees and 2 more mediocre sites more in the open. There are 2 more areas that are fantastic for hammocks. Landing is rocky but wasn't terrible... definitely a "wet foot" exit/entry though. I've stayed at far better sites but I've seen far worse.

This was our desperation site since all others were occupied and it was getting dark. The clearing is small, scruffy, and extremely sunny (almost no shade, so good for drying stuff). The best feature is a superbly crafted hand hewn half log for kitchen seating. Two of the 4 possible tent pads are decent.

Somewhat difficult landing on a narrow, sloped rock. Grassy site, but there is no shade. Great benches, though! Two of the tent pads are better than the other one. Only one of the tent pads is shaded.
