I wouldn't put my worst enemy on this site. The fire grate is on a 25 degree angle with nowhere to sit, nowhere for a chair, and you had better bring some extra rope to make a tarp work. The tent sites are just covered in sprawling roots. Although, my terrible night here was graced with a bull, sow, and calf in the bay just to the north of the campsite. One good aspect of this site is it's about 10-15' up off the lake. The sunsets are great from here. Just be ready to work at this site instead of resting.

Large sloped rock contains fire grate and kitchen area. Landing is fair- not much room to secure canoes. Limited hammock & food pack trees. Tent sites are tight. During a late afternoon and rainy day search we passed on this site and decided to keep looking- was not right for our 6 person group.
