General description: This campsite is very small, confined and dismal. However, it does have the convenience that one can walk from it to the portage to Ryan Lake. Definitely only a 'stop-over' as opposed to a 'destination'.

Overall accessibility: Despite its limitations, this campsite is quite accessible.
