What a beautiful site. Huge with an awesome kitchen area. The canoe landing was 5/10, but canoe storage along the bank was good with plenty of room to lash down the boats. The hike to the privy was a little long up a moderate hill. Watch out for ground-dwelling hornets about 40' SE of the kitchen at the base of a stump. They are small but really hurt.

Elevated site, nice kitchen area. Very private location on a back bay. Did get buggy when the wind died, but that's to be expected. Landings were doable, but small and rocky. View was very nice.

A very large campsite with tall pines, plenty of tent pads, though a few may be a bit slanted. This is a hammocker's dream site, plenty of places to hang. The landing can be a bit steep, but is doable.
