There is very little landing here. There is a narrow grassy spot where you can place a canoe, but otherwise the landing is difficult. There is a rock nearby that you might be able to pull up next to, but it is steep and likely slippery, so I didn't attempt it. The campsite itself is very small. I did not find any good tent pads. I found two spots where you might be able to place a tent, but both are lumpy, uneven, and not ideal. The kitchen area is slightly elevated and has a decent view of the lake. Overall, this is not a nice campsite. The surrounding trees are mostly jack pine and spruce.

This site is fine for being a remote location. Nothing special and a little small. Being the only site on the lake, you'll have solitude.

Visited site about 5 years ago, so it may have changed since then. At the time, it was a pretty claustrophobic site with pretty dense brush and spruce around. Was also very damp at the time. Not good boat landing area. We started to set up camp and found it could fit 2 tents and we forced our 3 tent to fit. Would not recommend that. We actually changed our minds and elected to move to another site before we stayed the night. Given the relatively low number of campsites in the immediate area, it would do in a pinch, but would not be a preferred site.
