Beautiful views in three directions. Smallish site could be an issue for larger groups. Tall trees offer shade, but still allow viewing of lake. The peninsula was out far enough to catch the evening breeze and keep the bugs off. Tent pads are a bit compacted and rocky, so you may need to anchor your tent with rocks.

Site is just past the no-motor-zone. Small-ish site that doesn't have a ton to offer in terms of views or space, but has OK tent pads. With the high water levels, fishing from shore was not really possible.

Good site to stay for a night. Landing was rough due to flooding but it looked like it would have had an ideal landing if water were lower. Shore fishing was limited and views were mostly blocked by pines. Plenty of firewood available. Was just in to canoe-only territory and convenient for many potential routes.

I did not visit because people were camping there. It is a red pine grove up a small hill on a point. It looked flat on top. No wide open views, but it is probably an OK view through the pines.
