Re: Guess What Campground?
It looks like it's east facing on an inland lake or in a cove on the big lake. Wood lake?

Siskiwit Lake.

Re: Guess What Campground?
Not Wood Lake or Siskiwit.
I am facing east though.
Another clue, the campsite has a shelter(s).

Not Malone or Birch Island (though I've been to both).
Another clue later.

As the old Beatles song says, "Here's another clue for you all......"
The campground is located on one of the Five Fingers.

Re: Guess What Campground?
I'll keep guessing; but, where did everyone go?
Out hiking?

Re: Guess What Campground?
OK, if there's a shelter and you're looking east, then that's a north shoreline, so must be Belle Isle. Which was my first thought, but the blue sky in the upper right doesn't fit with my memory--I could swear the shore rises steeper than that around that side...

Re: Guess What Campground?
If the photographer is facing East then that would be a SOUTH facing shoreline.Ingo wrote: ↑Wed Mar 22, 2017 11:57 am OK, if there's a shelter and you're looking east, then that's a north shoreline, so must be Belle Isle.

I know of Finger Bay and can use my imagination but where are the Five Fingers defined?
The only possibility remaining is Merritt Lane.

Re: Guess What Campground?
Midwest Ed, yes, facing east, so it's a south facing shore. Pic probably taken late afternoon.
My interpretation of the Five Fingers is that they are composed of the peninsulas (roughly five) that make up the NE part of the island. The campground with shelter(s), is located on one of those peninsulas.
And if you were a young mother with a six month old kid, where would you go?
