There are two different landings for this campsite. The landing out front on the point is a set of gently sloping rocks, and it was not too hard for me to pull up the canoe and get out that way. There is also a narrow sandy inlet around the side where you can pull in and get out, though it is not wide enough to parallel park. The campsite itself is a large grassy area surrounded by spruce trees, about 50 feet across from the water to the back of camp. The kitchen is out near the point and has an excellent view of Thomas Lake. Farther back in the campsite, the grassy area is more protected by spruce trees, and that is where the tent pads are. Everything is basically in the same main camp area. I found two good tent pads and three maximum tent pads. One of the good pads is borderline because it is either small or has some small rocks, but you could fit three tents in the grassy area without too much trouble. When I visited, a spruce had fallen toward the back of camp and was taking up some space, though I imagine it may eventually be cleaned up or used as firewood.

Nice site. Can catch plenty of crawfish and minnows from the land for bait.
