Go if

The 300 loop is your target: reviewers consistently call it the most spacious, and sites like 224 catch sunset views over the lake. RVs up to big-rig size fit the 50x50 back-in sites, and the dump station plus electric hookups seal it for that crowd.

Skip if

No cell service is real here, the 100 loop gets crowded and noisy, sites near the highway (like 333) get road noise after dark, the rocky shoreline means no real swimming, and the camp store keeps unreliable hours so stock up before you arrive.
