Open site, view of the lake is mainly blocked by trees, this was nice since it is on a main route. not too busy, but people were quietly paddling by throught the 2 days. Good moose viewing to the SE.

Convenient and spacious. Nearest bear hang is a bit of jaunt but not bad. Received nightly bear visits as was the usual for this area in the fall of '22.

Base camped here for five nights. Got to Horseshoe around 10:00am and it was the only site on the lake that was open. Fortunate to get a nice site. No place to hang a tarp unless you wanted to go back into the woods. We were there during a very hot stretch of weather so we put our tents on a couple pads back in the woods along the trail that leads to the latrine. Worked out well to have some shade there. Nice fire pit area. Best boat landing is around the corner in the cedar trees, although you can park in front on the rocky area. Pretty nice swimming area. All in all, a nice site.

Overall a very good site. Very private. Good moose viewing area. Three good tent pads but not suitable for a large tent needing a level pad and needing to be staked down.

Nice site. As said before the trees obscure the lake somewhat so it is more private even with canoes going by. Would work for a large tent too. Very good moose veiwing. Saw moose every day we were there including a cow with two calves.
