Go if

Large groups and multi-family gatherings are what this place was designed for. Reserve early, bring 50 people, use the commercial kitchen in the Feast Hall, and the private beach handles the rest.

Skip if

No cell service is near-total here, so anyone who needs to stay reachable will struggle. It's also reservation-required and group-oriented, a couple or solo camper has no business booking this one.
