Thanks, I thought we could likely push to Kawnipi. I have never been to this end of Kawnipi and was looking into campsites immediately after the last falls.

Since you have not been to that end of Kawnipi, perhaps you are unaware that the area north/northwest of Kennebas falls is part a burn area that extends back to the eastern side of Kawa bay/eastern side of McVicar Bay.  So, while there may be campsites in the area, several of them are not the most desirable because of that (and some have been pretty well obliterated).

On our Falls Chain route last year, we decided to stop at Kenney Lake going in and the entrance to McVicar Bay coming out.

Going in last year we got a late start and were dropped off in a "heavy chop" (make that 3+ foot swells).  So, we just decided to camp on Hook Island and head out the next morning.  The (unmarked) campsite we used on the south side of Hook, and while partially blocked by a large deadfall, it still had room for a couple of tents.
