Campsite

Campsite maintenance: Regular.

Size of open area: Approximately 30' x 50'.

Extent of tree cover: Pines' high canopy over most of the campsite.

Degree of levelness: Entire campsite is on a level grade, except for immediate rise up from the shore.

Number of level tent sites: Quite easily accomodate 3 or 4 two person tents.

North exposure: Trees.

East exposure: Trees.

South exposure: Trees.

West exposure: Some trees and shrubs break-up the view of the lake.

General description: The northmost of five campsites that were originally the shoreline part of an old drive-in campground. This campsite more-or-less runs into the adjacent campsite to the south.

Overall accessibility: With the grade up from the water being gentle, this campsite is quite accessible.

Firepit is centrally located in campsite.

Unfortunately the stone-ring appears to have been relocated away from the actual firepit.

The campsite's large open area provides sites for numerous tents.
