So Doc... Was that campsite big enough for two small tents? Will be going there in July heading then down to Elephant Head and Paull.

The campsite I selected on this trip was relatively compact.  I only remember one tent pad and a kitchen area.  I suppose one might squeeze a second tent in the kitchen area, but it would be very tight. (BTW:  My solo tent is a 2-man with 2 vestibules, so it spreads out a bit.  You could easily place 2 solo tents in the same footprint as my 2-man.  I know I'm carrying extra weight with this tent ... its in the 5 pound class ... but I like the idea of having places to store gear in bad weather if I don't immediately get a rain fly pitched.)  

A better choice would be the first campsite I passed (on the east side of Bunny).  Kingfisher's crew (5 people; 2 tents and 2 hammocks) stayed there on last year's trip.  Last year, my group stayed in a campsite on the eastern shore about half way up the lake across from an island.  We had 2 tents and a "lean-3" shelter.

I didn't do Paull THIS year, but it was on the route last year.  We stayed on the western end of Paull in an area where there are at least 4 campsites scattered around.  We selected the one tucked back in a small bay on the northern side of the lake.  MagicPaddler and his paddling partner later occupied a smaller campsite just across from us.
