Spacious

Jonvick Creek is flanked by a beaver pond  that is your water access. It is sketchy, your best bet is to crawl out on two fallen cedar trees and lay on your stomach to reach the pond. There is no creek.... The site itself is fairly spacious with some lovely cedars and a soft floor for the tents. Overall if the access to water was easier I'd add another star but when it comes to SHT campsites this one is not one to seek out.
