The group site has a fire overlooking the water. There are bear boxes and a few tent pads. This is about a 2.5 hour boar ride in the Ross Island Resort boats full to the brim. This spot was an ultimate getaway with a beautiful view and easy access to the water.

We rented boats from Ross Lake Resort and got a permit for the group site. You have to get a permit but they are free and it makes it so that the lake is very relaxed and not too busy. The hike to the boats is relatively short, making it easy to carry in a lot.

There are a few tent sites at this location. We chose to stay at one that had more exposure but was closer to the fire lookout, with the hopes that we could stay in the fire lookout the next night. It was fairly windy but gorgeous with a great view of the sunset. There is a bathroom. We easily found an area to pump water. It's an easy hike to the lookout and to nearby ponds and crests.
