Definitely the best site on Hustler. The fire grate area is nice with good benches and the landing is good enough. We enjoyed jumping in for a swim off the low rocks near the landing, you feet will touch bottom but not hard. The site is mostly sloped making tent options limited, but there are plenty of hammock options with abundant red pines. There is a bear hang tree back in the woods a bit near the start of the latrine trail.

Beautiful view, but very exposed to wind from S/W/E winds. Somewhat small seating area around firepit which does not actually face the lake. Limited group tarp options. No good landings. I was very excited to stay at this site, but strong winds pushed us to the site just to the east which had worse tent pads but much better wind protection. This site seems overrated to me, but if you got it during low wind and had a small group, it'd be nice.

Nice campsite in the pines. One nice level tent pad near the water and a few others above, but they are a bit slanted. Breezy and delightful site.

Love this campsite. We did not encounter what the other person stated fortunately. The site was well maintained and the beautiful. I will say not much in the was of a flat tent site but we are camping lol. Spent three days on the site, great fishing and swimming opportunities. The boys swam out to the little island in the lake for fun. Blueberries were plentiful. The site offered a great breeze and few bugs.

Great site with nice breeze and awesome view. No bugs while the wind is blowing.

Overall a very nice large site but is rocky. The fire pit has great seating. The best tent site is flat and close to the water but floods if it rains and other sites are limited. We moved our tent closer to the fire pit. There is some fishing off the rocks. Someone who had just visited left their fish carcasses and even shells from boiled eggs in the water close to shore. It put us off from swimming and was a good reminder to be a better camper than that person.
