The landing at this campsite is fairly easy. It is a smooth, sloping rock that I was able to pull up onto without difficulty. There is no seating around the fire grate. The kitchen has a decent view of the lake, but the overall site is small. I found possibly two tent pads. I am calling one a good tent pad and two maximum tent pads, although neither is especially good. The better pad has very shallow soil, and I would not expect tent stakes to work. It is clear that previous campers used large rocks to tie tents down. The trail to the latrine is steep. Overall, this is a usable site in a pinch but not a standout on the lake.

Not the greatest site on the lake, but doable in a pinch. Not much good ground for setting up tents. Hard to find a decent spot for the stakes, while not compromising sleeping on a large root or rock. Very secluded though, not much traffic.
