Go if

Horse campers and oversized RV rigs will find this one of the few free spots with corrals, hitching posts, and room to actually turn a trailer around. Hit it in late September for elk rut, fall color, and no biting flies.

Skip if

No water on-site is a hard stop if you can't haul enough for your whole trip. Summer visits also draw heat, biting flies, and wandering cattle, which reviewers found genuinely unpleasant.
