This campsite sits mostly low to the water, with the fire grate pretty much right next to the lake. The landing is decent, with enough room to parallel park the canoe and pull gear out. There is one tall white pine right next to the kitchen, while most of the other trees around the shoreline are cedars. There is one good tent pad, though it is not great. It seems a little slanted, but it should work. There are probably three other places where small tents could go if needed, but they are all lumpy, rocky, uneven, or slanted, so they would be backup options only. The lake view is mostly screened. The most open view is near the landing, but that looks more into a bay than out over the larger lake. There was no seating around the kitchen when I visited; it looked like the old seating logs had rotted and been cut up into the fire pile. Overall, this is a usable campsite with a decent landing and one workable tent pad, but it is not especially spacious or comfortable for tents.

Not good. Very small and the only flat area is very close to the water. It served us well to get off the water just as a storm was coming. But look elsewhere if you can.
