Tent campers after genuine solitude on a tight budget will find this hard to beat midweek in July or August. Wise River is right there for trout fishing, nights drop into the 30s so pack layers, and the five-site limit means you're rarely crowded.
Trailers over 28 feet won't fit, and the hand-pump water has drawn complaints about a rusty iron taste, so bring your own drinking water. No garbage service means every scrap comes home with you, and there are no formal trails if hiking is the main draw.

Summer delivers the most reliable access and warmest weather. Daytime highs typically range from the mid-60s to upper-70s with nights dropping into the 30s and 40s. Water levels stay favorable for trout fishing, and wildflowers peak during this window. You'll find moderate crowds on holiday weekends but plenty of solitude midweek. Spring and fall mean cooler temps and potential access issues as snow lingers or returns at this elevation.
Open mid-May–Sept; reviews praise summer temps and outdoor opportunities.
