General description: Small cramped and unattractive campsite, without any appreciable view. Definitely not a 'destination'. A beaver dam (since removed) at the outlet to Little Trout Creek brought up the lake level for a number of years, producing a 'grey' band of dead trees around the lake, which surrounds this campsite's point.

Overall accessibility: Easy landing and campsite access.
