Go if

Groups of up to 50 who reserve ahead on ReserveCalifornia and want a legitimate base camp: Jamison Lake, the Round Lake Loop, trout fishing in the creek, and blacksmithing demos at the museum are all within reach at $250/night flat.

Skip if

Spontaneous trips won't work here, no walk-ins, period. And at $250/night for a single site, smaller parties will feel the price. Anyone needing cell service should also know reviews confirm it's genuinely off-grid.
