I could see this campsite across the lake. The kitchen is prominently displayed on top of a high rock. The landing was very difficult. There is a short climb up to the multi-tiered site. The kitchen is at the highest level (top floor) with a view to the southwest. Tent pads are found on three different levels, starting behind the kitchen. The lower two levels are in the woods. All of the tent pads appeared to be on a rock, so staking may be an issue.

This site has a tough landing and then have to climb the hill but once you are up at camp this is a good site. There is plenty of tent pads and tree to hammock from. The fire grate has beautiful views of the lake/sunset. This could hold a bigger group especially if you have a mix of tents and hammocks.

Great site! Large group of mostly hammock campers for this stay. Main thing keeping from a 5 star site is the landing and climb up to camp. The elevated site has great views to the west. Can get a bit windy by the firepit put it's easy to duck back in the trees if for protection.

A very nice campsite! Good landing on the east side. At least three good tent pads with extra spaces for hammocks. Wide open fire grate area with great views!

Ended up taking this site when the island site was taken. Pretty nice site all in all. Excellent sunset views across the bay. Big site with a lot of room.

Great View, decent canoe garages. Nice 8 ft cliff you can jump off of... not too big, but still fun.
