Group site was awesome.

It has two bear boxes and two tables, there are three platforms for tents. Cool place just up from the dock. It was deep water off the end of the dock great for jumping in the water.

Boating Campground

This is a great campground to visit for boating. You do have to take a boat to get here. This can be done easily by renting a canoe or bringing your own. Since you have to boat in, that's a dead giveaway that it's a super secluded site. The water is very calm and still. It's a super relaxing experience.

If you don't have a lot of experience packing gear and bringing only what's necessary you may have a little trouble getting everything you want over on a canoe. If you plan on boating in via a smaller canoe, definitely give your gear a double take and make sure you're only bringing the essentials.
