Decent site. One tent pad only. Good for hammock if you need it. Great sunsets ontop of the rock and the fire grate is weird, up against a giant erratic. The views are incredible. LOTS of ground squirrels here that drove my dog nuts. Exposed quite a bit and high off the water. Great for fishing from shore or in the bay behind camp. Easy to land and load. The boom-box is up and back into the woods. Not bad, but there is again, only ONE tent site here.

Site has a good view of the lake from the fire grate. Nice tent pad.

This site is exposed to any wind and has few trees for hanging a tarp however the landing is a wonderful rocky ledge (important with a Kevlar canoe), the kitchen area is quite nice and the views are lovely. Nice trails to rocky ledges ideal for reading in the sun or just taking in the views.

Site is completely open to the wind, regardless of wind direction. In fall, this made for cold camping and barely enjoyable fire. Site is also very picked over. Get your firewood elsewhere to camp here. Hammock hangs limited.

Eratics mark this site. Steep sloping front porch with sun-tanning seating. Trails off the back for exploring sunsets over cliff view of the lake. Light dancing views of tree lined saddle up north.
