Good landing on a sand beach. Short, steep climb from the beach up to the site. Level tent pads. Moderate shade. Ok tarp options. Nice view of the lake from the fire pit. In the motorized zone at a narrows in Pipestone Bay, so expect a lot of traffic. I stopped here for lunch but would definitely camp here.

4 of us stayed in hammocks. Plenty of space. Has a nice landing and pretty good for swimming.
