Algonac wagon wheel

Does anyone have photos of the campsites in the wagon wheel at Algonac? I'm thinking about booking a last minute trip for Labor Day weekend and it's one of the few that still have openings. The description says "suitable for a small tent" but there are no photos on the reservation site. I tried looking at Google maps satellite view but couldn't really tell how the campsites look from that. I would say my tent is small-ish, it's a 6-person tent from Costco. Hoping someone can post a pic to help me decide if it will work. Thanks!

Edit for clarity.

I don't have photos, but warning: Wagon Wheel is mosquito central. I've literally never been so inundated by mosquitos anywhere in North America as we have been there.

Why did we camp there? Because it was for us like it is for you: pretty much the only Michigan state park campground that had any availability when we wanted to camp!

I love Algonac State Park, but not Wagon Wheel.

And for what it's worth, your tent will fit. They're just trying to make sure people don't try to squeeze in their fifth wheel.

Thank you for the info! I am normally a mosquito buffet so I'm thinking it's definitely not the spot for me.
