Go if

Bring a boat, a portable toilet, and everything else you need, and summer weekends here stay quieter than any drive-in site on the reservoir. The boat-only access does the filtering for you.

Skip if

No vault toilet, no flush toilet, nothing. If packing in a portable waste system sounds like a dealbreaker, the lack of any bathroom facility will end the trip fast.
