Ultimately this would be a great campsite if it was not for a terrible landing area. The landing is tucked away on the west side of the island and is very rocky. There is also limited canoe storage at the landing. The overlooks to the lake provided some great views to the west and south. The fire grate are was plenty spacious with good logs. There are 3 good tent pad spots with one near the grate and the other tucked back in the woods. The island has lots of unique structures and trails all over. No shortage of wood to burn either.

Great site. Lots of room, but not cut up by the bobbies. Views are pristine, and a good mix of privacy vs breeziness to keep bugs at bay. Fishing from camp was pleasant if not productive. Landing wasn't great, but there are two equally bad options, so you can choose based on wind conditions the one you'll use/hate. Would definitely stay here again given the chance.

Large rock outcrop at the point. Easy enough to get the boats up on any higher ridge. Main camp is fair to medium. Mostly sheltered from wind but also some views too. Pads are a little scattered and the best ones are further away from the main. Perent is a beautiful lake with not much traffic. Can't wait to go back and explore further west.

Wide open site, up at a high vantage point. The downside for us was that the water/swimming area was not visible from the camp. With a 4 year old on the trip, this is not an ideal site. I would stay here without kids and probably like it.

Hike up to the site that sits in a cedar grove. The landing is terrible, especially in the wind. The kitchen faces the woods, not the lake. It is mostly protected from the wind except for a clear "lane" to the west.
