The landing on the south side of the site is much better than the north side. I initially landed on the north side because I did not realize I had passed the campsite, but once you know where it is, the south-side landing is the better option. The kitchen sits roughly five to ten feet above the water and has a good view of the lake. The campsite is spread out just enough to feel like there are separate areas without being overly large. I found one good tent pad and another possible spot. The site is surrounded by mature jack pines and some cedars. Overall, this is an average campsite, but one I would enjoy staying at.

This is a nice enough site with a slightly elevate camp kitchen and a decent landing. It also has one of the brand new box biffs! Other than that, it's right on the main travel route.
