Campsite

Campsite maintenance: regular

Size of open area: Tentsites and firepit are under large pine trees. Area of short new growth immediately inland of the campsite adds to an 'open' feel.

Extent of tree cover: Trunks of the overhead pines provide plenty of support for stringing up tarps.

Degree of levelness: Firepit and tentsites are all level with one another.

Number of level tent sites: Could conceivably take seven or eight smaller tents.

North exposure: Short new conifers amidst some tall deciduous growth provides sense of 'openess', but dense forest beyond that blocks the worst wind.

East exposure: Blocked from east wind by dense young forest.

South exposure: Thin row of small pines blocks some of the view and wind.

West exposure: Blocked from west wind by some young forest.

General description: While this campsite has a sense of 'openess' to it due to the tall overhead pines, they do provide plenty of protective tarp-tying opportunites. The campsite's large flat area is good for children to play games, as is the long beach area. However, there's no sunning or sunset-viewing rocks here.

Overall accessibility: This campsite is quite accessible.
