We lucked into this site after struggling to find the camp site we were looking for further to the north. The landing is very nice, and the site had multiple levels. We put our tent on a soft, sheltered bed of pine needles on the "mezzanine." The kitchen level was at the top a rock cliff with a couple of trees hanging precariously over the edge that made for a fun hammock hang with plenty of shade. We could hear the motors from time to time, but they didn't go buzzing by the site. There was a huge block of concrete that made a nice bench. A grouse walked through our camp site, and didn't seem to mind us following her for a while. We probably could have caught her had we been in the mood.
