Go if

Trail runners and paddlers get the most out of this place: three suspension bridges on the trail network, boat rentals on Cane Creek Lake, and Class A sites with 50-amp hookups for a comfortable base camp.

Skip if

Limited shade across many sites bothers campers in summer heat, and T-Mobile users will find spotty coverage throughout, AT&T or Verizon works fine, but plan accordingly if that's your carrier.
