Overall Rating 3 FDL
Type of Site Leanto Site  
Easy to find? Absolutely not The easiest way to get to it is along swamp pond road, if the gate is open.  You will pass a whole bunch of weird characters along this road.  I think I have seen some of them in the movie "Deliverance".  Ask the ranger for help.
Capacity 3 Leantos Leantos sleep 4 big fat scouters, judge for your own unit.
Can you drive to it? Yes, one way or the other Either from Swamp Pond road or through Family camp you can get to it.
Water There is a pump across the road called Cold Spring.  I have pumped until my arm is swollen, and have not been able to get water from it.  Others swear that it still works.
Latrine None It is a nice site every other way.  Bring a trowel.
Biggest Advantage It is secluded It is a very pretty area, good for low impact camping.  Right on the shore of a pond where a family of beavers live.  We use this spot as our base camp when doing back packing trips.
Secondary Advantage It is right near the Red Dot Trail, in a very interesting part of the reservation If you know where you are going, you can go anywhere from here. 
Primary Disadvantage No Latrine No Latrine, what more can I say???
Secondary disadvantage It is a bit far out to get to It can be tough if you don't know where you're going.
