Stayed here because I wanted something west-facing for sunset and needed to be positioned to exit pretty early the next day. It met those requirements. Beyond that, would not recommend. I did not like this landing, it's a rock shelf that you've got to come in crosswise to. There are tent pads, but all are either on an incline, have substantial rocks, or both. Despite that suffusion of rocks, the hearth is pretty terrible; I did what I could to improve it a bit and added a side pad. There is a wood supply of dead pines on the way to the latrine, though not as much as I'd like. The bugs are quite aggressive. The real "meh" though is of course that it's a motor lake, you'll have them going past you every daylight hour. Of course you know that's what you might get on this lake.

Nice, open, elongated rock ledge landing. Main camp area has a good feel of being open but still offers some trees to provide a little privacy and good tarp options. While there are multiple spots a person could setup a tent semi-close to the nice firepit area, all are quite lumpy. However, there are 2 spots back up the hill on the way to the latrine that offer much more accommodating flat ground surface with room for at least 3 tents. There was plenty of downed wood when we stopped.
