Go if

Backpackers or horse packers who want a legal base camp inside one of the Lower 48's largest roadless areas at zero cost. Open July 1, two sites only, first-come-first-served, so mid-week arrivals stand the best chance.

Skip if

No potable water on-site and the pit toilets are flagged as potentially unusable. Add active falling-snag and flash-flood hazards from a burned zone plus a rough unmaintained road, and anyone without solid wilderness self-sufficiency should look elsewhere.
