We only stopped for lunch after the Hanson portage but I did explore around. We were traveling with a group of 9 so I was always looking for ways to be thrifty with tents and I could not come up with more than a couple potential spots to put tents in this site. It's small. Definitely has a good view and is located immediately next to the Hanson portage. We didn't swim but it looked like a very good swimming location. That's all I can assess since we didn't stay there.

Decent small campsite that would work fine for a small group. Direct view to the portage into Hanson. We had six guys on the campsite in one big tent. It worked, but it was pretty tight!
