Rock shelf take out. Poor west wind protection. Vault is awesomely located on the large hill top for a proper throne view as king your island. Soil is soft and loamy, holding moisture after rains. Awesome view and large number off trails too explore the corners of the island.

I really enjoyed this campsite. There are numerous good tent pads including a couple of grassy ones. You could easily spend a few days here. Great views, nice slopey landing, and numerous trails to explore.

A centrally located island site that has a nice sloped landing leading to an open fire grate area that still provides a sheltered feel. Several nice tent pads. Trails spider webbing out in every direction begging to be explored.

Lovely island site set just within a large, flat rock peninsula that is lovely for soaking in the sun and view. There is one good white pine for shade and climbing and fun little trails on the island to explore. I would stay here again.

Very, very nice site for larger groups. The island is easy to explore with lots of trails and berries to pick. A west wind will really howl through the site, but you can spend time on the East side wind free. The landing is expansive, but shore fishing is poor.

Nice island site, good view from the kitchen. There is a decent cliff to jump off of on the island to the west.

I usually love island sites but this one had a weird feel to it. Very worn down, dusty. Three nice pads and a short walk to the box. Landing was just ok, view was nice from the fire pit but not much to block a west wind. Slow break in the water made shore fishing hard.
