Very cool site! Good beach landing on both sides. Adequate tent space. Elevated site with sunset views. We based here for 4 nights with a group of 5 adults and 4 kids. The kids loved the beaches. We did some fishing and had luck off the front of the campsite only. Biggest problem was getting the fish onto land as are elevated about 10 feet above the water. This is the only drawback imo, and it's a minor one. If I could rate this a 4.5 I would. Also, as an added bonus, you're literally10 rods away from Kelso, which provided us with a nice little day trip up the Kelso river to check out the Dolman Rock as a little adventure for the kids.

This is a classic camp site. Prominently situated 10-15 feet above the water on a bedrock out cropping. Ample tent options; potentially very windy up top, but good options for covered kitchen area off the NW side-- out of the wind. The vault toilet is about 150 yards to the east of the fire pit, across the little cove and up the hill in the woods. Excellently situated for excursions on Alton, Kelso and western Sawbill. Look for the trail to the north from the canoe landing area which leads to the Kelso River (nine or so rods). When Alton is windy, the Kelso River is sheltered.

A great site. The landing is very nice (unlike the rest of the sites on Alton) - a sandy beach. The campsite is on a small peninsula, and there are sandy beaches on both sides of the peninsula. One of the beaches was underwater when we were there because the water was high. The tent pads are nice and flat. There is one very large tent pad, and I'm not sure how many tents would fit on it. There is a nice view of the lake from the kitchen - it is basically a rock overlooking the lake. There is also an alternative landing on the Kelso River side. It is an alternative to the 10-rod portage to the west (not a great alternative, but an alternative).

Didn't stay here but checked it out. Beautiful little beach at the landing. Great views from the site which sits up on a ledge. It looks like any rain would run right through camp however due to the large smooth rocky areas. It would be worth it however. Also people say that you can get to the Kelso channel that leads right into Sawbill Lake.

Wonderful site - best we found on Alton. Elevated rock for kitchen area. Only downside might be wind cover. Amazing views from the elevated kitchen area. Plenty of space and even has a nice sandy beach for the kids
