This campsite has a great landing of gravel for easy access. It does sit low and if it rains I think it would be real muddy where the tent sites are. No rain the night we stayed here so it worked out fine. Boat traffic is an issue.

Gravel/small rock beach. Cedar grove. Nice view except for the motor traffic. Between 3 and 4 stars.

Site is low and took on water when the lake was windy. Stopped at this site when the winds picked up and it was unsafe to travel on the water. If not for the wind, we would have moved on to another site.
