Campsite

Regular or low-maintenance: Regular.

Size of open ground area: 50' x 50'.

Fire pit is central in the campsite and has a good view of the landing area.

Point of Interest: Between two of the tentsites is an old 20 x 20' concrete foundation that sticks up a few inches and is overgrown by small trees.
It's original building was probably used in conjunction with the old "Eagle Lake Landing Station" on the nearby old railway, the roadbed of which now serves as part of the Western Uplands Backpacking Trail.
