Go if

Tent campers and car campers who want a Logan River base camp will feel at home here, especially at Site 6. Clean restrooms, new fire pits, and a Smith's grocery run 13 minutes away make it genuinely low-effort.

Skip if

Light sleepers who can't tune out road noise will be miserable, and most large RVs won't fit comfortably. Raccoons are active, so sloppy food storage will cost you sleep for a different reason.
