The landing at this site is not too bad. There are a couple of flattish rocks out front where you can pull up and unload. The campsite is not raised very much above the water and is mostly a large open area next to shore. There are large white, red, and jack pines either in camp or near camp, so part of the site has pine duff, while other parts are grassy. The kitchen has an excellent view down the length of Fraser Lake. I found two good tent pads and five maximum tent pads. The best tent pad is out in the open area by the kitchen. There is also a spruce area covered in pine duff from a nearby white pine where several tents could potentially fit, though none of those spots are especially large or good. That area would be excellent for hammocks. You could probably fit a couple of other tents in the open area, but those spots have rocks, roots, lumps, or uneven ground. This site should have shade available throughout the day because of the trees surrounding the open camp area.

A large, open site with a couple pads (one fairly large) near the kitchen. Not a terrible landing area and a large space for canoe storage. Nice view across Frasier. Single bar of T-Mobile LTE allowed me to download maps to my phone (if it was "in the right spot") which I had failed to remember to complete prior to leaving.

This site wasn't too bad. The camp kitchen was really closed in and the Biff was visible from camp, but it ended up being a site that worked for us. Good views of Fraser and good firewood. Spent the night and were on our way.
