Campsite

Regular or low-maintenance: Regular

Size of open area: 60’ x 40’.

Extent of tree cover: 95% canopied over campsite.

Degree of levelness: A little angled around firepit and tenting area, but not too bad.

Number of level tent sites: 2 sites adequate for a <=3 person tent.

North exposure: Landing and site protected from the north winds.

East exposure: Landing fully exposed to east, north-east and south-east winds. Tent site and firepit adequately protected.

South exposure: Southern exposure from canoe landing only.

West exposure: Landing and site protected from the south winds.

General description: Fair to poor smallish campsite. Very little sun exposure due to heavy overhead cover and east-facing aspect. Site is recessed inside the forest. Poor swimming due to emergent weeds (lilies), submerged timber and no lounging. Water drops off into 10m+ depths offshore. Thunder box located west of campsite. No issues with firewood – lots of quality hardwood behind site. Great sunrise view but no sunset.

Overall accessibility: Fair to poor.
