Go if

Disc golfers, picnickers, and dog owners looking for a free afternoon on the Illinois River in summer. The electric picnic shelter holds 50 and must be reserved through Oregon State Parks; midweek slots are easier to land.

Skip if

Overnight camping isn't the setup here, one RV-listed site and no tent camping means most traditional campers will find this too limited. Anyone expecting a full-service campground will be confused on arrival.
