No, but, it is on an island!

There are, I think, over 400 islands around this island that you speak of?!

Re: Guess What Campground?
That's why I put the twisted evil emoji; the main Isle is an island!
Photo is on the "main" Island.
Another hint below.

Now that is some rough-looking water! I guess the "lady" was in one of her moods!

Re: Guess What Campground?
In your first picture, if it is the area I am thinking of, I took a picture from those rocks of the sunset on this area (if that doesn't sound confusing).

Re: Guess What Campground?
On an island you say? Hmmm.
Of all the islands with campgrounds, I only know of 2 with enough elevation (Belle and Beaver) to match that second picture but neither has a plan view that matches the 2 pictures. Unclear on your clue when you refer to "main" island. Maybe that's where I'm going wrong.

Re: Guess What Campground?
If one were to arrive at Rock Harbor campground, one could walk to the pictured campground.
It is on the "main" island.

Re: Guess What Campground?
It is Huginnin Cove.
Let's see the sunset pic of yours kolo. Then put up a guess pic.

Re: Guess What Campground?
Technically I was incorrect because I misspelled Huginnin. But here are three pictures I took at the cove last summer. The sunset over
Canada is the one I included in my annual calendar that I put together.

Re: Guess What Campground?
Ingo will probably be the first to correctly guess this picture, as he has referred to this location on this forum before. It is a sunrise shot.
