This is a wonderful site. The approach is to a sandy bay that is easily large enough to hold4 canoes. The beach is less than shoulder high out 30 yards, so the swimming is quite good. There is a small rise up to the fire pit area which is quite large and well protected by rocks. Up the hill to the east is a beautiful overlook, which gives a great view of the lake and the island across the lake where there were bald eagles nesting. the point to the Northwest has some deeper swimming areas and some great rocks for watching nature and contermplation. There are at least 5 tent sites in the main fire pit area another one just to the west and one more close to the point for the really loud snorers.The site has planty of trees for tarps, hammocks and food storage. Our group of 6 had plenty of room to be together and apart during our 3 day stay. Also this site is a bit off of the beaten path, so the only real traffic that we got was from others wanting the site. There are just a few downsides to this site: The site faces south and there isn't really a view of sunrises or sunsets. Also, because it is at the north end of the lake any winds from the south tend to blow right into the site, which can make it chilly. We found on several days it was warmer at the top of the hill than it was down at the site. Like many quality sites in the B-dub, firewood was scarce. Overall, I would highly recommend this site to anyone either camping on Seagull or making their way through. You will not be disappointed with this one.

Excellent level, shaded, clear site in a small sand bay with excellent view. Prevailing breeze kept the bugs down. Good fire pit with flat rocks for setting utensils, mugs, etc. We were able to easily place one tent, two sleeping hammocks and a community tarp. Just a heads up, there was a wasp nest in the pine tree between the two canoe landing spots when we visited, so don't brush that branch!

Excellent site. Tucked into a cove with full sand bottom/beach. Site appears to be used frequently. Good shade, South/Southwest exposure. There is a good tree set for hanging a hammock also.
