Stopped here for lunch and a relief from the waves on a windy day. I concur with Ben. Landings bad and terrible in rough water. Very exposed. Strange fire pit area. Only stay here if you have to.

This site doesn't look like much from the water but that's deceptive. There are some great tent pads back in the woods. The views of sunset are great. The fire great is on an exposed rock with a good breeze to keep the bugs away. The latrine is kind of close to camp and poorly constructed. Bring your own chairs, there's no furniture here.

Difficult landing - steep, slippery rocks. The fire grate is in an awkward spot - cannot really put seating next to it. Good view despite this. The one good tent pad is in the full sun. The other two potential tent pads are really small.
