This campsite is very exposed and sits mostly on open rock. The main kitchen area and primary tent pad are both out in the open with little to no shade. I landed at the “back door,” which is a smooth, sloping rock and was easy enough to use. The landing near the kitchen is much steeper, and I would not feel confident landing there. I found one decent tent pad that I would consider usable, and possibly a second that could work. There are spots where you might fit additional tents, but those are either small, rocky, or have roots. The main feature of this site is the open exposure and west-facing view, which should provide good sunset views but comes with limited shade.

Very exposed rock slab. Great to dive/swim off of. Big drop offs. I caught Walleye here all evening. The sun will cook you here and there isn't much room for a tarp. Beautiful sunsets from here. Loons at night.

Nice open rock area, but very exposed. Some small trees for shelter.
