We camped at the established site near the tiny snowpatch by the water in this photo.

I read your recommendation about the camp in a previous post but for the life of me couldn't remember if you were talking about the bluff beside the lake (1 sloped forested camp) or another spot on the far side. Far side was too wet and marshy to reach. I see now you were probably talking about a spot near the trees in the left of my photo.

Yep, that looks right.
