Go if

Fossil Beach fossil-hunters and Big Meadow Trail hikers get the best of this park right now. Both stay open despite construction, hookups are available at Campgrounds A and B, and spring weekdays keep crowds thin enough that gate closures aren't a real risk.

Skip if

Active construction noise runs through the day, the fire ban rules out campfires entirely, and some beach views are blocked by equipment and fencing. Anyone coming specifically for a quiet waterfront evening around a fire will find this a poor fit right now.
