The most obvious tent pad at this campsite is in a low spot that looks like it could get muddy, and other reviewers have noted the same issue. The site is mostly surrounded by jack pines, and there is a large erratic boulder in the campsite that is interesting to see. The landing is okay but not great. I found one good tent pad and two additional possible spots that could be used if needed. Overall, this is a usable campsite with some drawbacks.

Very small site with minimal cover. The lower tent pad near the water was unusable when I visited due to high water levels, it was basically just a mud pit. Had to set up the tent next to the fire area and the big rock. The latrine is visible from the campsite with no cover but was an ok spot for a solo trip in a pinch when the other sites on the lake were taken.

This site is small. We had to setup our tent at the waters edge. Not a bad site. Fishing in the area was good but not great.
