Go if

Families and anglers who want beachfront-style river access without a crowded feel. Site #2 looks road-adjacent but turns out to be the best spot: shaded table, closest water access, and easy restroom distance. A store with food and ice is five minutes down the road.

Skip if

No showers on site, full stop. Also worth knowing: one reviewer reported a genuinely serious experience with discriminatory treatment from staff. If that's a risk you're not willing to take, this one deserves caution regardless of how good the scenery is.
