Go if

Boaters, swimmers, and anglers who want full hookups or a cabin plus on-site bait, boat rentals, and shade, the south shore bluffs cut the summer wind nicely, and supplies are right there so you don't need to haul in everything.

Skip if

Cabin renters expecting a bathroom steps away may be disappointed, some cabins sit a real distance from the restroom buildings, which gets old fast after dark. Bring your own bedding and kitchenware regardless.
