Marginal campsite at best. I created this campsite in the early 90s out of desperation when getting dark. Worse than I remembered. Tent "pad" on flat rock with no ability to sink stakes. Even worse - there is NO canoe landing. You have to unload below a four-foot cliff, and hand the stuff up, then drag up the canoe. At least the fireplace is nice. Like, sorry, eh?

Small site with great views on a small point. Interesting fire pit and cooking area on a ledge. Canoe landing sites are dodgy but it can be done. We used hammocks and there were several options. A unique site and we would stay there again

Poor landing, small site with room for two tents back in the trees. (I could not find anything at the location shown in PCD, and am assuming that this is the same site as 503)

Found a small campsite here. Room for one tent. Beautiful view of Heronshaw! Two of us stayed there for five days. Comfortable site, good fishing. Canoe parking less than ideal but you can do it. This campsite was not shown on the Fisher map. I'd rate it a 3 but because of the small size and canoe parking. A 2 is probably a fairer rating.
