There are 3 'jump-off" sites at Magnetewan. They are all right beside the parking lots at the access point. 
The sites themselves aren't terrible, they have a fire pit and benches, but the sites are all within 20 or so feet of parked vehicles in the lot.
The lake has 4 actual inetrior canoe-in campsites as well as the 3 jump-off sites. If there are any of the actual 'interior' sites available I would probably choose to take one of those instead, even if arriving late. The furthest site from the access point is only a 20 minute paddle at the most from the dock, the other 3 are within 10 minutes. All 4 of the 'interior' sites are fairly decent as far as a backcountry APP site goes.

No worries, I will be at that access point at least a handful of times before you so if I remember I'll snap a few pictures!

You could probably be at all three of the Hambone sites within 30 minutes of arriving at Magnetawan.  The jump off spots are fine if you just need a place to pitch the tent for a few hours but if you still have some daylight to work with, I'd head for Hambone.  

I appreciate that, and it was my first choice.  Some of our party are still new to the bush and won't be arriving until after dark, however, so we'll probably play it very safe and stay on Magnetewan for the first night.  I appreciate the insight, I would be doing exactly that if it was just me 
 

Wow, thanks very much, ATVenture, these are great.  Pretty much what I was expecting, but it's so nice to have a visual preview.  Any of these will do just fine for a quick night before we head out deeper.

Thanks again!
