Very large site. At least 2 good tent pads. Lots of other flat spots on rock pads for tents if you anchor with small rock/large rock system. A bit of a climb up a steep flat rock to get to site, but pebble beach landing is great for swimming. Good fishing off rock ledge just below campsite. Great fire pit area. Didn't find suitable tree for hanging food, but plenty of places to stash food away from tent area. No difficulty finding fire wood on this stay. I've stayed at this site twice and would definitely do it again.

Great view west on Pickerel Lake! Bit of a climb to get up to site. Plenty of flat spots on big rocky point to cook, etc. One really nice level tent pad, and several additional spots to setup a tent, but mostly on a rock (not much soil). Beach has a lot of stones, so it's a bit hard on the feet. We managed to catch a few walleyes trolling the shoreline west of this site.
