Pretty nice site! We were able to get 2 four-person tents and 2 two-person tents on the tent pad area. Not a good sunset/sunrise campsite as the kitchen area looks south. But, still a nice view of the lake, great rocky outcrops to fish from, nice swimming spot, easy canoe landing with room to pull all 4 canoes up. LOTS of poison ivy!!! Not really many places to hang the food bag.
