Oregon Dunes - if you can only do 1 trip, then which event?

I personally don't like crowds, so I avoid the "special events" like the plague! We have been to Winchester Bay a couple of times, and Riley Ranch once. We liked Riley Ranch better, and will be going back next August, right after Dunefest. Dates will probably be like the 12th through the 18th.

I looked into Riley Ranch and it looks nice. They are plenty of sites bookable right now for RVs up to 50 ft. I'm leaning toward booking one for that same week.
