Go if

Horse campers get the most out of this place: 24-plus miles of bridle trails, an equestrian campground with a horse wash, and full hookups. Families with kids also do well near the beach, mini golf, and the 3D archery range.

Skip if

Vault toilets only, no showers, no potable water at sites, and reviewers flag latrine cleanliness consistently. If modern bathhouse access is a baseline requirement for your trip, this setup will wear on you by day two.
