The landing directly in front of the site is poor. While exploring, I found a better landing around the point, though it is still not great. The kitchen area is acceptable and has a narrow view of the lake. The campsite itself is closed in and well protected. There is a giant ant hill near the kitchen area. I found one good place to put a tent and possibly room for two additional tents if needed. Overall, this is a sheltered campsite and might work well in the shoulder seasons or to wait out a storm. However, I would move on if other options are available.

Though more closed-in and sheltered there is still a nice view and good swimming. Well-treed. We enjoyed this site, but there are nicer sites for sure. But very good if you want a sheltered site. The ant nest mentioned in other comment was not an issue for us.
