Camp Notes:
Outstanding site. Nice landing and marvelous rock near the water for relaxing and fishing, though I didn’t catch anything. Many hammock options, including a grove of gigantic white pines. Multi-tiered fire grate and kitchen area that could seat a crowd comfortably, albeit a bit back from the water. Wine is a stunning, secluded lake, and I absolutely loved my stay here.

This site is fantastic. The campsite is relatively high off the water for an island site. Well into the trees and easy to miss from the water. Plenty of space and good shelter from the wind.

This site is actually on the west side of the island. Easily the best site on the lake. Lots of huge wite pines provide ample shade and cover. Nice canoe landing. A bench by the firegrate that is flat and has a back rest. Several flat rocks surround the firegrate providing a convenient table. One of the very best sites I've ever stayed at.
