The landing is difficult. It is rocky with no flat spots and sits among cedars, requiring careful footing. The campsite itself is better than some nearby options. The kitchen has a semi-obstructed view of the lake, but there are nice sitting rocks along the shoreline in front of the site. I found two good tent pads, both of which are comfortable and usable. This is a solid, mid-range campsite if you are comfortable with a challenging landing.

Nice camps site, Rocky landing large boulders. Lots of traffic in front of the campsite. Conditions were poor when we stayed so we were not able to explore much.

This campsite is in a more secluded part of Lake Polly. There is a great sloping rock for sitting and sunning. Plentiful firewood. 3 stars instead of 4, because the tent sites are adequate, but a bit sloped.
