Took this campsite and had the lake to ourselves. A really nice south-facing campsite. The kitchen is up in the woods a bit, but there is ample rock along the shoreline to enjoy the water views. Easy rock landing with plenty of tent spots throughout the area. It's easy to walk to the northern tip of the island too. This is a neat spot, about as far from any EP as you can get.

Wonderful site on a beautiful backwoods lake. Good tent pads near the fire grate with solid hammock hangs as well, probably a couple more places for tents and hammocks along the lengthy toilet trail. Privacy at the toilet is exceptional. Bald eagles nearby/above camp as well. Decent fishing for smallmouth off the landing and plenty of room for enjoying the view and watching sunset.

Great site. We took a shorter day and stayed here. It was a nice island with a great rock landing. We had an unbelievable sunset the night we stayed here and even had a pair of eagles in camp. There is an amazing rock point at the north end of the island also that was a real pretty place to sit. Wonderful site. Also, one of my campers let go of his sleeping bag while packing and watched it roll all the way down and into the lake. He did nothing as it slowly drifted out to deeper water before sinking. I made him go retrieve it, so thankfully it is not still in Adams lake. Funny story though.

Awesome site! Nice landing with a open rock shelf rimming the south side of the island that makes for great views and easy maneuvering around, fishing etc. The site proper is well sheltered and spacious. There are several nice tent pads near the fire grate area, of which one could serve as a tarp area.

Great campsite. Beautifully maintained. The Forest Service must have been there recently because the fire area had obviously been fixed up with new logs for seating. The latrine is in good condition with a working lid and relatively few bugs. Beautiful flat rocks sloping down from the campsite into the lake to relax on or swim/fish off of. I marked this one on my map for future reference.

What a beautiful campsite. Room for a number of tents, and plenty of rocky areas to fish from.

Nice site. Great fire grate. 5 star view from the privie. Not a suitable site to ride a windstorm out.

Beautiful island campsite on a beautiful lake. The fire pit and tent pads are covered well by trees. A large flat rock offers a lot of open space as well.
