This felt like a lesser-used campsite, and the difficult landing is probably a big reason why. I found two possible landing spots, but neither was good. One was a steep, sloping rock that was too slippery for me to get out on, and the other was tight between rocks, so wet footing would probably be the easiest way to get in and out. The campsite itself is very protected and surrounded by trees. It is somewhat close to the water, but the views are mostly blocked, so this is not a site I would choose for scenery. It could be useful on a cold, windy day if I wanted to get out of the wind, but in the summer I would probably pass on it. One positive is that there is a large tent pad area where two tents could fit, though it did not look heavily used. Overall, the site is serviceable, but the landing is a major drawback.
