This is a pretty basic campsite. The landing has a little sandy cove, so there is sand under the water, but the shore itself is rocks and grass. The shallow sand makes it easy enough to get out of the canoe and unload, and there is a very small canoe storage spot next to the landing. The campsite itself is mostly an open grassy rectangle along the shore, roughly 50 to 60 feet long and about 20 feet deep. The kitchen has a great view of the lake, though it will probably be in full sun during the morning. In the afternoon, a couple of very tall white pines near the landing should provide some shade. The main tent pad is at the far end of the grassy area. It is a decent pad, and two tents could squeeze in there if needed. Other than the two tall white pines by the landing and kitchen, the campsite is mostly surrounded by brush, though the brush along the shoreline is low enough that it does not block the view much. Overall, this is a simple but usable campsite.

Stopped for lunch, but didn't say here, and this looked like a very nice site with lots of open space. Nice tall white pines for shade as well. Sweet little sandy cove to land on.
