Go if

Trail walkers, paddlers, and RVers who want easy hookups do well here. The campground has 30 sites, a modern bathhouse, boat access, fishing piers, and trails with suspension bridges. Fall color gets the best reviews.

Skip if

Summer shade is thin, and several reviewers mention heat, spotty cell or Wi‑Fi, and the occasional trail cleanup issue. If you need reliable service or a heavily shaded site, this may disappoint.
