We overnighted at this site as many other sites we paddled past were occupied. You can string a tarp just back from the kitchen with enough line. The landing and canoe storage are poor. ~10 minute paddle from Thunder Point, which made for a nice outing the following morning before continuing along our route.

We spent 2 nights here and really enjoyed the site. There are 2 spots for hammocks in the shade, by the water overlooking Thunder Point. The swimming was nice. The views and people watching kept us very entertained. We saw 40 canoes go by throughout the day on Thurs 9/1/22. The campsite is one of the closest to Thunder Point, so we were able to time that out to have it alone for a few hours up there. Nice little site for a small group!

The campsite is really closed off, and there isn't a whole lot in the way for tent pads. It does tap into a nice hiking trail though. We just stopped here for a snack, unfortunately every site to the West was full which made for a long night after.
