Go if

Families who want real river swimming will find multiple beaches and calm water here. The four hike-in sites get you away from weekend crowds, and the riverside yurt sleeps eight if someone in your group wants a roof. T-Mobile and AT&T 5G are solid throughout.

Skip if

RVs have no place here, tent sites only, no hookups, no dump station. Vault toilets are the standard, and from October through April even those get swapped for portables. Uneven trails and rocky river access also make this a poor fit for limited-mobility campers.
