It was a great site with fantastic views. Steep rocks to the lake which made fishing from shore more difficult. On the north side of the site was an excellent place to land your canoes.

Very nice site with good views high above the water. Nice spot for a breeze and the island is worth exploring. Held 9 people quite comfortably.

Small, sandy landing on the west side. There is another small rocky landing on the south side. Great view from the kitchen, which sits about 10 feet above the water. Tent pads are flat and large. This was my favorite campsite that I visited during our trip.

Great camping spot. It's basically a large island high above the lake. Tent pads can pool water during heavy rain. Latrine is not too far located inside the island. Shore fishing was terrible, most likely will need to be on a canoe to find fish. Be careful with little kids because it has a slope down the side that they can slip off of.

Site is up from the lake on a rock ledge. There is a good landing for the canoe. Great view of the lake and a natural rock bench to enjoy the lake from. Tent pad has a few rocks.
