Campsite

Campsite maintenance: regular

Size of open area: Large.

Extent of tree cover: Moderate.

Degree of levelness: Moderate.

Number of level tent sites: 3 small tent sites (one is very close to firepit); wouldn't want tents much larger than 2-3 man.

North exposure: protected.

East exposure: protected.

South exposure: moderately exposed.

West exposure: protected

General description: Southern facing rock gets mid-afternoon sun. Surrounding water is a little marshy. Wouldn't want to swim. Large rock outcropped to the south has ok swimming, if you hike to the end of the rocks (~50 meters). Campsite has an OK view, but a few trees obstruct it slightly. The tent area is protected from the wind but hasn't got a closed-in feeling. Thunderbox is close to the tent sites. Thunderbox could use some maintenance.

Overall accessibility: Easily accessible from canoe put-in but lots of rocks to navigate to get to the water in front of the campsite.
