Big Porcupine Lake Campsite #13
Submission #1 Landing
Campsite Campsite maintenance: regular Size of open area: Very very large, actually two campsites in one, nice fire pit with benches. The removed site next door is accessible from the site. It provides another swimming - fishing area away from the main site. Extent of tree cover: just nice, some open area by the fire pit. Degree of levelness: up a slight incline from the landing areas, very level across the entire site, down a hill to the privy Number of tent sites: three very easily. North exposure: treed. East exposure: a rock landing area on the east side ...
General description: Beautiful site. Overall accessibility: Three landing areas with easy access. Thanks to Jeffrey McMurtrie of Maps By Jeff for supplying the base map. Submitted by: Tom Yates .. Visited: 2005 .. Submission: Jan. 21 2009 Submission #2 Landing Topography of under-water approach: Depending on water levels, at least one of the three landings should provide a clear approach. Impediments to disembarking from and/or unloading a canoe: Sloped rocks at two of the landings could be slippery if wet. Expect to probably have to step out into water to unload. Topography to tent sites: 20+' substantial slope to actual firepit and tentsite areas.
Campsite Campsite maintenance: regular Size of open area: Quite large and spread out, with tentsites to the northwest, northeast and south at varying level heights relative to the firepit area. Extent of tree cover: Substantial large trees all about. However, actual firepit arera is open to the sky. Degree of levelness: Considerable grade from the landings to the actual campsite. Individual tentsites and firepit area are level. However there's more climbing involved accessing the thunderbox. Number of tent sites: At least three. North exposure: Line of trees along the shoreline ridge. East exposure: Somewhat open view from the firepit. Trees on the shoreline grade block most of the view from the tentsites.
General description: A large, 'rambling' site which has been 'hacked about' a bit. Although it is located on a point, it doesn't have a scenic view. And the thunderbox location certainly isn't private. Overall accessibility: The rises from the landings to the campsite and back down to the thunderbox could prove somewhat tedious.
