Similar to Campsite #25 just north of this site, there\u2019s a large east-facing beach landing at the front of this campsite. It\u2019s a very welcoming area to land your canoe, unload your gear, and spend a few hours swimming in the lake and basking in the sunshine before your realize \u201coh yeah, I should probably start setting up camp\u201d. There\u2019s a 20m or so trail from the beach into the main campsite area. The main campsite is a big, exposed area at the southern tip of the large island. The fire pit is built in front of a large boulder. It\u2019s a really cool fire pit, but unfortunately there was no seating anywhere at the campsite, so you would need to bring your own chairs. The whole area is pretty flat so tents can be pitched anywhere, though there were one or two spots that were notably meant for tents. Behind the fire pit is a small sheltered section between the campsite and the water\u2019s edge, and if needed, a small tent can be pitched there. The only time I would even consider using that area for a tent is if you wanted some protection from the wind and rain, but if there was wind and rain, I probably wouldn\u2019t be choosing this campsite anyways. At the northwest end of the campsite the trail forks to the left and to the right, and at the fork in the trail is a tree marked with the thunder box sign. You\u2019ll want to look closely at the sign because there\u2019s a small arrow that points to the right. The arrow is drawn on with a black marker, which is very<\/em> easy to miss. The thunder box is to the right, as the barely-visible black arrow indicates, but visually it looks counterintuitive because going to the right doesn\u2019t follow the natural path of the trail. The natural path of the trail is to the left, but that leads immediately into Campsite #27. How do I know this? Well, because I wanted to use the thunder box when I visited this campsite, and before I knew it, I was staring directly at someone\u2019s tent and gear pack. I quickly turned around and went back to find the thunder box. Other than the fact that you don\u2019t get a water view from the main campsite area, and that there isn\u2019t any shelter from the rain, I kind of liked this campsite.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
