The landing here is very rocky, and I had trouble getting up into the campsite. Wet-footing is likely unavoidable. The campsite is in the burn area and is fully exposed, with no shade or hanging trees. The kitchen sits on top of a slope and has a decent view of the lake. I found one good tent pad, though the soil appears shallow and tent staking may be difficult. There are one or two additional spots that could hold small tents if needed. This is a usable but low-quality campsite.

Site is open with grate and latrine, however low usage and a little over grown. There is also an unlimited bounty of blueberries around this site. As stated it is a bit overgrown; however, there appears to be enough options to place a tent in the rough.
