Go if

Backpackers staging a trip into the Eagle Cap Wilderness will find this the most logical base: drive 16 miles up Forest Road 8210 from Lostine, drop gear, and hit the trail the same evening. Summer nights cool into the 30s, so bring layers.

Skip if

No showers, no toilets documented, and only three sites, if your group needs hookups, cell signal, or any amenity beyond a picnic table and fire ring, the drive out from Enterprise won't feel worth it.
