Because of previous experiences with USFS data, I decided to make sure this campsite was really closed. I searched the entire island and did not see any remnants of a site. Also, because campsites can be mismarked, I also searched the island to the south, which was not burned. While the center of the southern island is an open field and would make a great campsite, I saw nothing that indicated there is or was a campsite there.

Circled the island and even got out where it appeared there may be a landing but, seen no evidence of a campsite.
