Go if

RV campers who want electric and water hookups at a reasonable price ($25-30/night) will find this comfortable and well-maintained. Rangers are hands-on and the grounds stay clean; site 05 handles rigs up to 50 ft if you call ahead to confirm.

Skip if

Double sites and tight spacing make this a tough sell for anyone wanting seclusion. Beyond the physical layout, a subset of past visitors who fall outside the local cultural mainstream have reported unwelcoming interactions, if that's a concern, it's worth weighing before booking
