Right by the lake - super easy access to water
After a long first day of hiking it was a wonderful surprise to have water just paces from the campsite. Not up or down a hill, just a handful of steps from the tent. Great for weary feet!
The campsite sits just off the trail - literally. But this loop of the island isn't hiked a lot, so it's very quiet with little traffic (at least in May when we went). The site we had was #2 and it was perfect for a tent (very flat pad) had some hammock trees, had a stone to set your cook stove on out of the wind (thank you for whoever put it there!), a bench that faced the water for watching the sun or just enjoying your coffee. An outhouse (three sided with a full front door for privacy) was just about 20 yards away - again on flat ground. **note - bring your own TP**
There isn't anything about this site that we didn't like. It was flat, it was close to water, it was near the outhouse but not too close and even in the early spring, there was plenty of space between sites for privacy, even without foliage on the bushes yet. The proximity to water made it easy to grab a bag to filter or use it to gently wash up without soap (a good cold foot soak was great!)
Love everything about this location.
