And a serious bushwhack it was! We portaged crap through the woods/swamp - so now it's a portage....not very well established and HIGHLY unlikely anyone (in their sane mind) would ever tackle it again.

Just because you got there by walking does not mean you were on a portage. There is no portage within a mile of that spot. You have to bushwhack to get there. It was kind of an impressive view. I was glad the creek was at least semi navigable.

A little sweat?! ...kinda like saying Alaska has a bit of wilderness! It does overlook a very nice creek and beaver pond. Sure glad that moose did not join us for the night - what a party that would have been. It does break up that portage nicely though.

I say add it unless it's a spot that you think would easily get overused?
Knowing your tripping history that probably wouldn't be a issue ?
I've stayed at small spots that I found because I stopped to take a look even though on the data base they were considered no longer valid. For my needs they were more than adequate.
IMHO there is a lot to be said for finding those hidden gems using a little sweat equity.

I camped at a site that is probably the best place to camp within ½ days travel. A moose trail passes nearby that Stew heard a moose on during the night. There is space for a solo tent with just a little bunched up because of a tree. I found 2 trees to hang my hammock from with a 45° sloped rock under the hammock. There is a beaver pond about a 100yds over and 100Ft down to get water to filter. The GPS coordinates are N48.37233° W91.04235°. Should I add it to the campsite database?
