Not a bad site. Approach from the southwest. Landing is tricky and steep. There is a slightly better spot to keep canoes to the north of landing area. Haul gear up the hill and then it evens out on top. Really beautiful spot overlooking Agnes. There is a dead tree fallen at a 45' angle through camp. It is hung up in a V of another alive tree. Only a matter of time before it falls.
It's a good launching spot to head through the S chain, further north, or simply a rest spot headed south. We put in 15 miles from here leaving at 7am. We made it to Prairie Portage by 3:30pm.

As mentioned in another comment this site is slightly farther north on the west side of the island. It is a bit hard to find due to the elevation of the kitchen above the water,
tent pads: 5 rating, there are many more places to put tents than other comments indicate. Many of the tent pads could house 2 tents if one had to squeeze in a larger group.
kitchen: 3 rating, standard Quetico kitchen setup
landing: 2 rating, not really a great place to land a canoe. Then there is the climb up to the site requiring gear hauling.
water: 2 rating, just not great water access in general
shade: 5 rating, lots of tall trees
view: 3 rating, too many trees to really see much from the site.
ventilation: 3 rating, the elevation, gaps in trees, and on an island do allow for some air flow.
facilities: 4

Aug'17. Didn't stay here but checked it out. Landing is not that great but it is a climb to the camp site and fire pit. Once in camp it seems like it would be comfortable enough. Lots of firs and cedars but I wonder how it is if the wind really got going so far up on a hill.
Several lake trout down the main channel in deep water with crank bait. Nothing really big but fun.

One of our nicest sites during our 18-day trip, and well up off the water (30 feet or more). Requires hauling gear up to the site. Landings a bit tricky when wet in Spring. Nice kitchen and plenty of open space. Many red pines for shade. Good fishing nearby

This is a large site that gets heavy use. It's actually up the island a bit on the lake side from the marking on the map. I've camped there twice. The fire pit is extensive and very useful. The tent sites are flat. One is sunny and in the dirt but dry. The other is shady and in the grass but can flood in heavy rains. Fire wood is close to hand on an extensive trail system throught the island. Swimming is OK in the bay in front of the campsite. The site is not far from a trout reef and a good walleye spot (just beyond the small island). Have caught a six-pound smallie in the bay from shore.
