Nice island site secluded at north end of Horse. Landing was good and tent pads were better than average. We had 3 kids with us on this trip, so the fact that it was an island added to their adventure. Had good fishing north of island. Painters invaded the lower ranks of the island to lay eggs, so that was quite cool. Loons were vocally active and the positioning of the site allowed for nice sunset views. While Horse Lake is not my favorite lake, this site was very functional with good character. Great for a moderate sized group with kids. One other bonus if using as a base camp, the trip from this site to basswood falls is an awesome adventure as you get to experience Horse River in route to the falls. Trip will take up 6-8 hours of your day, so it's a perfect fit if you like to take day trips from a base camp. Also, good swimming beach within a short paddle of the island. Overall, a very solid site.

Arrived in early July and stayed two nights. Loved hearing the Loons. Great campsite.

Excellent island site. About as isolated as you could be on this popular lake. Good for watching sun sets and allowing breeze in to keep bugs down.
