Go if

Boaters and kayakers who grab a lakeside site early, those spots sell fast in summer, offer direct water access, and look out over 13,000 acres of barely-developed lake. Clean showers, full hookups at $28, and a dump station make this easy for RVers too.

Skip if

June campers and anyone bug-averse will have a rough time, reviewers call the mosquitoes and biting flies vicious. Goose droppings blanket beach areas, some sites aren't level (bring blocks), and cell service drops in and out for both Verizon and AT&T.
