Go if

Anglers, hikers, and wildlife watchers who can show up mid-week in summer will find this hard to beat: trout in the creek, elk and moose at the meadow edges, and trailheads into the Frank Church just up the road, all for $0 a night.

Skip if

No potable water on-site means hauling your own supply, and the dirt road access plus first-come-first-served policy makes weekend planning a gamble, especially for anyone who needs a guaranteed spot.
