buggy at night due to bogs, and some larger stagnant areas. There might be some panfish in the weeds down there, but the water is so shallow I would expect warm weather to pretty well clear bigger gamefish due to water temps. And I can't guarantee panfish, I never fished them down there, as I didn't like the flatness of the areas.
As for seclusion, yes it is secluded at night, however during the day there is almost always one or four or eight boats that slowly negotiate their way down there to see what it looks like, because it is waytahell downdalake. True, and totally within character for intrepid explorers braving the waters of the TFF. We watch em from up lake and always hope they don't hit something and require a tow 7 miles back to a landing. If you are just camping to camp it will probably be fine but somewhat buggy. If you are fishing, there are better places to camp on the flowage, and much more central to many fishing areas. If you don't like skeeters or deerflies, there are many sites on the flowage that are much fresher wind wise, to camp.
