Four stars for the relative solitude and view. Three stars for everything else. I used a landing on the west side. It was a bit of a hike up to the site. There might be a better one elsewhere, but I didn't look. The kitchen sits high off the water, affording a great view of the lake. There are a couple of tent pads near the kitchen area with a lot more potential ones in the open forest behind the site. Many hammocking options. Access to the Pow Wow Trail.

Great campsite, has room for many tents and/or hammocks. Also, direct access to the Pow Wow trail. Fire ring is high off the lake and often bug free. Only negative is the landing spot is small and not great.

Overall, our family loved this site. We enjoyed the elevation up off the water to help limit bugs for most of the day, the views from the high point overlooking the lake to the south, the fact that you're a ways off the traveled routes on Lake Three for pretty good privacy, and the proximity to the Pow Wow hiking trail which provided opportunities for exploration via land.
Depending on your definition of "good" tent pads, how far you're willing to disperse from the fire grate, and how comfortable you and your gear can get on a rock surface, you have many options for setting tents. The undergrowth is minimal to the north up the peninsula - almost feeling like a state park or campground. There is a bit of that feel as well, as you can tell larger groups with less discernment for gathering firewood have been through here.
Lastly, with the elevation above the water level, your crew needs to be prepared to work their way up a steep climb to the campsite. We found a secure landing site & storage for canoes on the east side of the campsite, so you'll not need to heft canoes up to high ground.
