Go if

Kayakers, canoeists, and bass fishermen who can roll in Friday morning to claim a waterfront site. The flooded deadwood structure holds panfish, largemouth, and pike, and many sites sit right at the water's edge. Bring all your supplies; Onaway is 12 miles out.

Skip if

No showers, no electric, hand-pump water, and spotty to zero cell signal (T-Mobile is essentially dead here). If roughing it means anything harder than vault toilets and a camp stove, this setup will wear thin fast.
