Great site, it only gets marked down because of the less than private latrine. We had a large mixed group and privacy was important. We hung a tarp up behind the latrine and that gave us all the privacy we needed. Very breezy site and as others said, no bugs.

This was the best campsite we stayed at on our entire trip. It is a beautiful open site with tall pines, with a cooking area on a rock peninsula. Wonderful view and very breezy (no bugs!). Great cove landing with a small sandy beach. We had two Hennessy hammocks and there were ample trees to choose from when setting them up. I only give it 4 stars because the toilet is not very private. It is a decent distance from the tent pads/main area of camp, but due to the lack of underbrush, it is visible from the canoe landing and parts of the main campsite.
