If you go, plan on camping. A word ofcaution: if you rent one of the cabins be prepared to be in a structure that's not fit for human habitation that's infested with rats and mice and they don't give refunds. I've camped there many times and had a fantastic time, the one time we rented a cabin was pure nightmare fuel.
