Very scenic camping location. We used our paddle board, caught lots of small pan fish (which was super fun for our 6-year old) and hiked the trails, and enjoyed listening to the peels and loons in the evening. Could not have asked for a better time. Looking forward to a longer return trip!

It’s a bit of a walk to get in the site, like 2 blocks-ish . highly recommend you haul gear by boat instead if you have anything heavy because you have to walk across a couple narrow bridges. Very private and secluded peninsula, there’s a few fisherman around during the day, but they leave. Nice flat area for tent , easy access to a sandy area for your boat or kayak. There’s a private albeit exposed toilet around the corner and up a little hillside, no problem there unless you have mobility issues. The only issue with this site is there was a ton of mosquitoes at night but that’s to be expected. There’s also a great walking trails around.: didn’t see any other people. We went fishing, but didn’t catch anything except little pan fish near the shore. A great spot if you’re looking to get away from the crowds.

This site is incredible, but be warned - if you don't like hiking all your stuff in to the site, if you need water or electricity, if you are scared of snakes, if you need cell service to survive... THIS IS NOT THE SITE FOR YOU. This has to be the most rugged and awesome campsite I've ever stayed at. The hike in is no joke if you are carrying a lot of stuff, firewood included. I ended up using the inflatable boat I brought to haul stuff back to the boat landing instead of walking it out.

You have the whole peninsula to yourself, and essentially the whole lake to yourself. With Verizon we had no signal at all, but the stars at night were beyond words. The loons were singing all night, the kids were catching snakes and fish all day. We saw a giant snapping turtle under the footbridge on the path. There is an awesome outhouse with a great breeze :D

If you're up for a real off-the-grid adventure, this might be the site for you, but if you've got a lot of gear and younger kids you may want to pass on this one.

This was an amazing night! You MUST enjoy wildlife and not be scared to be in the middle of a forest full of noises for this to be a good experience. We heard coyotes howling from all directions, different types of owls and birds, and we are pretty sure that bigfoot (or maybe a bear or some deer) was outside our tent in the very early morning hours before sunrise. The kids loved the water and the bathro was probably one of the best ones I have ever used in my lifetime of camping and hiking. If you love the outdoors and and physically capable of carrying all your gear in and out down a trail that's about a third of a mile and includes a two board narrow bridge, then this is the place for you! We had so much space and it was so peaceful! We had a group of 4 adults and 7 tweens/teens and loved it!

Perfect weather, perfect campsite, lousy fishing. Ewing Point is one of the nicest campsites you could ever find. I first camped there over 25 years ago. I'll be back.

Beautiful spot. Plan to pack light or boat in your gear from the launch, the trail to the site is narrow with a narrow footbridge.
