The landing here is very easy, with a mix of sand and mud that makes getting in and out of the canoe simple and low stress. The campsite is average in size but quite nice for a river site. The kitchen area sits under balsam trees that provide good shade. One tent pad is very large and flat, and there's another smaller good pad nearby. I also noticed a couple of additional spots where you could fit tents if needed. The latrine trail climbs uphill and currently has a lot of downed wood around it, making firewood easy to find. One large tree has fallen right in front of the latrine, so using it requires stepping over a log. Aside from that minor issue, this is a solid river campsite.

This campsite is just about the most average campsite. It's small with a closed in kitchen. It has a fine enough landing. No one is going out of their way for this site, but it provides a convenient stopping spot in a pinch. I was just visiting for lunch.

Was a nice looking site after spending the first two nights in the burn area. out of the wind, so it could be buggy when bugs are out, fortunately we didn't have any bugs at all during our trip. not good fishing from shore, as it was kind of shallow and muddy. Tent pad wasn't bad at all. might have been able to fit two tents. hard site to find firewood. latrine wasn't bad, but was by no means great.

Not a very well kept site. There weren't enough logs to sit on my the fire pit. There is really only one good tent pad. The area was extremely buggy when I visited. The toilet was also so bug invested it was almost impossible to use.
