Alongside or nose-in landing is on low rock ledge with lots of storage. The mixed sun and shade clearing is huge, as it extends along the shoreline. There is 3 log seating around the well protected fire grate, but no flat rocks to assist the cook. There are unlimited tent options as the terrain is quite flat. There is a huge, hard sand beach left of the clearing that is great for swimming. There is also a path to a second but tiny, hard sand beach. Unfortunately, it was fouled with florescent green algae during our late August visit. The good beach makes this a solid 5 star site.

Nice site with pretty flat tent sites, large open area around fire grate with good benches, enough pine trees around perimeter for shade and hammocks, 2 landing sites. The best part is one of the landing sites to the SW of the tent sites is a small sandy beach. Great for swimming/bathing, you can walk out a long ways on a nice sandy bottom. Good smallmouth bass fishing right around the site. We looked at 6 or 7 sites around this area and this one is the best of all of them. Most don't offer any shade, this one has some shade.
