Go if

PCT hikers and serious solitude-seekers who can carry all their water will find fall weekends here genuinely hard to beat: daytime highs in the 60s, clear skies, and a high-desert moonscape that draws almost nobody else for $12 a night.

Skip if

No water, no toilets, and a 5-mile hike to reach camp rules this out for car campers, casual overnighters, and anyone who needs a flat spot to sleep. Bumblebees, rodents, and rocky uneven ground are the norm, not the exception.
