The best part of this site is the solitude. You probably will not see anyone come down this arm of the lake. Everything else is subpar. The landings are rocky and a little difficult to navigate. The entire campsite is rocky. There is one small, semi-OK tent pad - I called it a "good" tent pad in the ratings, but it is marginal at best. I did not find any good hammock trees. There is a stripped, now-dead birch tree over the kitchen. All of this being said, I've seen worse.

Stayed along time ago, and I remember this being the worst campsite I was ever forced to stay at. Back then at least the latrine was literally in the center of camp and we all had to go in the tents to give the user some privacy.

As a last resort, 7 of us stayed here in 5 tents. Very hilly and rocky. Not advisable for a large group. Water was dark and stagnant. After 8 trips to the BWCA, this is the worst site we have stayed at.

Not a very good site. It's in a shallow, weedy bay so no fishing from shore or swimming, or views. Fire grate area is on a hill with rocks everywhere. The whole site is pretty overgrown.

Quiet, secluded site. Really not a lot going for this site as far as views are concerned. Decent canoe landing, would be cramped with more then one tent.
