The landing is nice. Everything else is a little weird. The campsite is on kind of an island that is separated from the mainland by a marsh. The fire grate is right next to the landing, but there is no seating around it. The tent pad is above the kitchen in a gravelly area - I'm not sure if tent stakes will work. The latrine is over the swamp on the mainland. A bog walk was built, but it is all rotted now. Currently, you have to walk through the swamp to use the latrine.

This is another weird site. The camp kitchen is on a small island surrounded by marsh then it's a bridge across that marsh to the biff. All pretty strange, but it gets a fair bit of use by the look of things.

Stopped by to consider this site, but it wouldn't accommodate our larger tent. Neat spot though.

Small site but I really liked the location. Kind of positioned on a peninsula so you can get great views to the west for sunset. If you only have one tent, this site is great.
