Great view of the lake. A tad pain with the landing requiring you to pull up your boats over the rocks. Nice fire pit area (my group built a 3rd bench for the area-hope it works well!). Not great - being right by people coming from either direction.

Tough landing. Elevated site that provides some good shelter and views, although is mostly sloped. Unfortunately, it's unavoidably on the main travel route for 2 entry points and possibly within earshot of the nearby cabins on McFarland. Still, it's an above average site.

Great campsite. Not the best landing, tent pads weren't perfectly flat, fishing from campsite wasn't great, but the view from the site was great. Fire grate area was nice Would recommend.

Good site on quiet lake in little traveled corner of BW. Perfect short paddle to take your kids for their first overnight. My kids caught a couple Northern Pike in the lake right off the campsite.
