Well, this site is something. Unique, distinctive, eccentric, unorthodox\u2026 those are all words that can be used to describe this campsite. The site is located on a tiny little island, in the northeast end of North Tea Lake. The island is super small, and topographically, it looks like a pyramid. It\u2019s flat on either end but has a big peak in the middle. I normally love tiny stranded islands, but with this campsite in particular, I think I met my match. The landing was terrible, with no obvious place to put the canoe among the steep rocks and no apparent entrance. Climbing up to the main site leads to a pretty cool fire pit with some equally as cool rock and wood mixed seating. But the double-cool fire pit and seating is the only thing that I like about this campsite. Behind that fire pit is a massive maze of rock and cliff. Unique, distinctive, eccentric, unorthodox\u2026 those words are starting to make sense now. I like flat open campsites, and this is the exact opposite. There are a few viable tent spots, one of which is located at the upper level. Want to guess where the thunder box is? If you guessed at the very top of the big maze of rock and cliff, you guessed correct! Want to know your prize!? It\u2019s a snake. I literally saw a snake slithering at the base of the thunder box. If you ask a group of different people \u201cwhat\u2019s your biggest fear in Algonquin Park\u201d, I have a feeling at least a few would reply with \u201csnake in the thunder box\u201d. Repeatedly climbing up and down the different levels of this campsite would be a total pain. In fact, I met some local guides during this trip and they told me that they named this campsite \u201clevels\u201d. The last thing that I dislike about this campsite is the views. I almost forgot that I was on North Tea Lake, since this campsite faces a narrow section with the shoreline nearby. Unlike basically every other campsite on North Tea Lake that provides wide expansive views, the views from this campsite are extremely limited. So yeah, if you haven\u2019t guessed by now, I really disliked this site.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
