This is a spectacular campsite with outstanding views. The kitchen sits high up on a rock and has a wide-open view to the east. From the point, I was able to get panoramic views across much of Little Saganaga Lake. The landing is some distance from the campsite, and there is a climb up from the landing to reach the site. If you want to pull canoes up for the night, you will need to pull them up a steep incline. The tent pads are scenic but have very shallow soil. I did not find any pads where tent stakes would work, and it appears that tents are typically tied off to rocks. The latrine is close enough to the tent pad area that it may be visible when moving between pads. Despite those drawbacks, the views are exceptional, exactly the type of campsite I like, and I loved it.

Nice site that is high up on a rock and has great views of the lake. Steep rocky climb to the site and not a good location for canoe storage.

An excellent site, phenomenal views, sits up high on a rock, very open, tent pads aren't the greatest but do the trick. No really good spot to keep the canoe unless you drag it up.
