A minimal campsite that counts for a good PMA campsite. A rock fire ring sits atop an open 10-foot rock formation with nice views of the lake. The landing is steep but not unmanageable. There is plenty flat open space for tents, though only one has grass rather than rock (there are stones around for anchors); hammocks or tarps might be tougher to set. I did not see sign of the former fire grate or thunderdome, but the woods have digable ground and plenty firewood. If you like solitude and just the basics, you'll like this site; if you like camp infrastructure, you probably won't.
