The site was occupied when we paddled past, but it was easy to see the defining feature of the site. The site is out of the main route through the lake, but it's not as private as some other sites nearby. The orientation of the site suggests they get some nice sunsets there.

Half of our group went on ahead but didn't tell us which campsite they were stopping at. So we worked our way through the sites on Disappointment. This site has a nice rock out front. It looked like a lovely place to stay. Unfortunately, our group wasn't there.

Very good site, mostly out of the wind. Easy access.

Great kitchen area with nice trees for a wind block. There was plenty of firewood laying around up on the hill. We had decent fishing from the rocks in the front and a snapping turtle that tried to take our fish. We thought it was great.
