Campsite

Number of level tent sites: Limited area supports only two tents.

North exposure: Treed shoreline severely limits view. However the north wind can slip in under the overhanging trees.

East exposure: Solid forest.

South exposure: Trees limit the view and block the sun.

West exposure: Trees limit the view and block the sun.

General description: This is a very shaded, small and rough campsite. And there's a steep rocky-gulch climp up to the thunderbox. The only full view of the lake is from one shoreline rock area. Being located at the south end of the lake, the view across isn't all that great.

Overall accessibility: Considerable climbing up and down within the campsite.
