Go if

Families with kids get the most out of the swimming beach, sand, and the concrete lakeside trails that work for strollers and wheelchairs alike. Site 180 on the equestrian side is worth requesting if you want space and water proximity.

Skip if

Electricity at your site isn't guaranteed even when reserved, so RV campers who need reliable hookups should call ahead to confirm. Site 46 is too cramped for anything over 30 feet, and holiday weekends hit capacity fast.
