Cool spot. Like Ben said, lowest tent site looks like it might get wet. Highest is a bit sloped, middle is decent. Several good hammock spots. Not a great landing for swimming with a lot of slick rocks and sediment. Great view from the kitchen, and some trails that lead up to the bluffs above that have some awesome views. Saw 3 semi-fresh piles of moose scat, one about 50 feet from the fire grate just down the trail, and the others up on top of the bluff, so make sure to take a look up on top of the peninsula if you're just passing by!

Nice view from the kitchen. There is a nice ledge that I used to sit and look at the lake. The landing is a ledge made from cedar roots. I was there in high water, so I'm not sure what it would look like in low water, but it was difficult not to get wet. There was no seating around the grate when I visited. Mostly cedar and jack pine. The one the good tent pads is next to the landing and could be wet.

This site has some fantastic views. Nice kitchen area. Landing is a little steep but not bad.
