Go if

Families who want a carnival atmosphere with actual waterfront camping will get both here. Boat launches and free day docking make it easy to spend mornings on the lake before an afternoon of mini golf.

Skip if

No pets allowed at campsites, and the site type data is murky enough that confirming RV hookups or tent pad availability before booking is worth a call to the ranger station at 716-386-3165.
