Hikers and tent campers after cheap, spacious solitude at the prairie-meets-mountain transition will do well here. Sites are clean and spread out, vault toilets get good marks, and summer nights drop into the 40s. Bring all your water and a bear canister.
Anyone planning to swim or paddle should reconsider: multiple reviewers describe cow manure on the banks and a green slick on the water. High-clearance vehicle helps on the rough gravel access road, and generator noise has been a problem after dark.

Summer brings the best camping conditions, with daytime highs in the mid-60s to mid-80s and nights dropping into the 40s-50s. July and early August see the warmest weather and driest trails, but also the most competition for the nine sites. Wildfire smoke can affect the area during peak summer. Spring and fall offer cooler temperatures and fewer crowds. Heavy snowfall closes the campground in winter.
Best season for camping: warm days, fishing, hiking; many summer reviews positive.
