Go if

Fall weekday campers with a high-clearance 4x4, a kayak or fishing rod, and no expectation of facilities. Sites further down the trail trade proximity for quiet, and the lake fishing holds well into early October.

Skip if

No restrooms is a hard stop for many, bring a WAG bag or stay elsewhere. Weekend nights have drawn loud parties and trash; if a quiet shoreline matters more than a wild one, the main Gold Lake Campground is a shorter drive away.
