General description: This campsite has a very limited view and a rough shoreline. It is very embedded into the forest and only has very limited mid-day 'sunning' opportunities. In bug season, its lack of bug-clearing breezes could be a real problem.

Overall accessibility: This campsite's accessibility is somewhat hampered by its landing's rocks
