Fire grate atop a large rock with sitting area. Tent sites close behind. Limited hammock space. 1 location for group tarp, food pack hang. Lay back near the campfire and enjoy the evening sky. Typical fire grate/kitchen area.

Not a bad campsite, but not many trees to hang a bear bag from. Great view off the rocky edge of the island. Mosquitoes were swarming after the sun went down though, that was a nasty surprise. Otherwise okay.

Nice site with large rock out front that goes into the lake. In a burn area so there was lots of firewood.
