GuideQuiet and Scenic
We could see the water from all shelters, But in 1 the shelter isn't as exposed as there are trees at the shoreline to block the wind.
There are outhouses, but no potable water at the site.

TravelerAmazing views with private campsites
Great lakeshore access, plenty of wildlife viewing, great campsite all around!
TravelerSecluded, tranquil bay
This was by far my favorite campground (that we stayed at.) We got a shelter right on the bay, and it was secluded enough from the other campers to the point where we could walk out to the water and clean ourselves nude without having peeping toms. The nights were cold and clear, and very still, with the occasional loon call. There is a dock a short hike east, connected to the campground, with plenty of places to relax and enjoy nature. We saw beaver, river otters (?), and hares here, as well as plenty of birds, including nesting loons.
