I still have never found this campsite, but McKenzie does have it located two peninsulas to the east of where paddle planner has it. Make sure to search around more extensively.

Not much shade but a great spot al in all. Good path up to the top with a view every direction. I liked it.

Closest to the Monument Portage from the east side. Fine, but there are nicer sites nearby. Very open, a little overused.

Open. Kind out on a small point. Somewhat exposed good for keeping bugs away when the wind blows. Plenty of place to tie off a bear bag. Couple of places for a hammock. Personally I really liked it.

Well used/ABUSED basecamp campsite. In a pinch this is a good site for a big group. It is rarely available in prime time.
