Comments This site is right across from what we assume was the fishing village supporting the defunct fishery. However, the nest of cottages was very quiet and the lighting was low.

Comments You would not want to put a tent on this site. You could hang a hammock or two. If you have a party larger than two this is not the site for you!

Comments This is in a secluded cove. So the view is nice and sheltered. You can't see the main river that well from location.

Comments I give it a big thumbs up! You can't see the camp just up from you - but I imagine if they are noisy, it would not be as secluded. I was lucky to have quiet neighbors that I never noticed or saw.

Comments I think many people overlook this spot since it's small. This is the view below from the campsite and camp launch area.

Comments Very weedy but nice and shallow making water warm close to swim by launch. A few snakes since it's so shallow they like to skirt shore, but great for launching since it is shallow.

Comments RelitivelyEasy to get back to Hartley Bay Marina - easist campsite on OX Bay to get back to the marina from since wind usually pushes you back.

Comments It's in a channel so you are a little sheltered by lake, and in a tributary off lake. Great hillside lookout of the bigger lake short walk from campsite. The rocks are fantastic the formation along the tributary edge. It's fun to paddle across the tributary just looking at the awesome formations.

Comments Very advanced campsite to get to and lots of open water to traverse in lake. But the upside is less used campsite since really for advanced paddlers to get to.
