Hikers chasing Hermit's Peak will get their money's worth here. The trail is rated moderate to hard and reviewers call it outstanding, fall conditions are the best (50-70°F days, golden aspens), and $8/night is hard to argue with. Bring all your own water.
The campground is closed right now due to post-fire hazards, so anyone planning a near-term trip needs a different destination. When it does reopen: no potable water, pothole-heavy access road, no hookups, and no cell signal rule out most RVers and anyone who needs connectivity.

Fall delivers the campground's best conditions. Days run cool and sunny, typically 50–70°F, with crisp nights dropping to 25–40°F. Aspen stands turn brilliant gold against the evergreens, and wildlife activity peaks as elk and deer move to lower elevations. Fire danger drops compared to summer, and trails remain accessible through October before early snow closes higher routes. Late May through early October offers reliable weather, though summer afternoons can bring brief thunderstorms.
