I suspect kenkatz (previous reviewer) had this confused with another site. Narbor617 got it right...this qualifies as a site as it meets the bare minimum definition, but boy howdy this is a site of last resort. Two possible & highly compromised tent pads that I would not wish upon my worst enemy, really poor canoe landing, entirely sloped rock and a fire ring that would impress nobody. 0.301 stars.

This is a pathetic campsite and surprisingly not often used. While it is technically a campsite, it is DENSE with trees and was filled with mosquitos. We opted to backpaddle just to avoid having to stay here with an early morning pickup at PP. Also, the takeouts are not good.
