This campsite looks much larger from the water than it actually is, but despite being small, it has everything I look for in a campsite. The landing is a narrow gravel landing directly in front of the kitchen. I had to navigate between some rocks, but it was still easy to use. The sandy and gravelly bottom would likely make for decent swimming. The kitchen is shaded, which is a big plus on warm days, and it still has a good view of the lake with a breeze moving through the site. The surrounding trees are mostly cedars, mature jack pines, and birch. There are two good tent pads. One is excellent - grassy, flat, and spacious. The second is smaller and not quite as flat, but still solid.

Was high water during this trip. I expect during average water levels, significantly more shoreline is exposed and available for landing boats and shoreline activities. At this time, it was fairly limited. Good view and adequate overhead cover to feel sheltered but not confined. Long, winding trail to latrine. Kitchen log-benches need replacing soon. Waters directly in front of camp pretty shallow for fishing, but produced a few small pike. Site accommodated 3 tents without issue. Could *squeeze* in a 4th tent if at least 3 of the tents were pretty small.

This is an ok avg. size site, it's in a secluded part of the lake, kind of hidden in the trees.
