We stayed 7 days on 62w 63w and 64w like we do multiple times a year. These sites are beautiful. The hike in to 62 is not far. We had a small issue with 64w having a toilet left on it as well as toilet paper but we called and it was cleaned up for us the next morning by a very nice young man. Sites 63w and 64w are a little tough getting down to the water. But definitely not impossible. Site 62w has almost a 3 tier sandy beach area where we dock our pontoon we rent from rollaway campground. The sand is suffering from erosion with makes the walk down to the water a little tough for some. These are my family's favorite sites and we have our family reunion here every year. The elderly members usually book cabins or nearby hotels because they are tent sites. But we have always managed to get them to our camp to spend family fun time.

Loved my calling calling spot but the site to the right of me was too close for comfort. A very ostentatious elderly couple pulled in and set up their rig next door, both of these people were extremely rude & disliked dogs. If pick a more recluse spot next time.

It is a very nice site. The one thing that I would recommend, (and this goes for all the primitive camp sites), is that they should have drop boxes installed. This would really cut down on improper human waste conditions at the camping sites.
