Gaidin53	06/12/2022 12:01AM 3* sites are very good sites from my experience! It just lacks one thing usually. Not the same thing. We stayed in a 3* on South Arm of Kinfe last year and the site was great. Water out front was shallow and muck bottom. You couldn’t really swim without stirring up a ton of muck if you kicked your feet. I think I stayed in a 3* on North Arm of Knife I upgraded on my own because it was an awesome site. It just had a heck of a climb up to the campsite. Which was a plus once you were up because it had a better breeze and an awesome pine grove! Even had a somewhat beach on opposite end. 3* sites are great they generally just lack one component to take them up to awesome sites like size, access, or height off water, or spot to hang a bear bag.

No doubt the rock/root thing would foul a tent pad or two, so it's all relative based on your needs. Expansive site, and top notch fire grate setup, for sure. I would absolutely stay there again. 1097 looked like it was in good shape from the water, but I didn't land to check it out." Perfect, thank you!

bretthexum	06/10/2022 02:43PM Thanks all. If I end up at Fourtown I'll post an update. I stayed at the 4* one years ago, and would love to stay there again.
Gaidin53	06/10/2022 07:44AM Garmin Explore app. I added all those waypoint marks in myself. Based on campsite reviews or other information. Red flag is a 4, 5 campsite Blue flag is 3* campsite Yellow flag is 1* 2* campsite Ryan

bretthexum	06/09/2022 04:35PM Does anyone know if the Fourtown fire hit any of the campsites from last years fire? It seems like the fire got close to a few. Have a Mudro permit in a few weeks and just looking at plan B if Horse Lake is full...
