Go if

Anglers and wilderness hikers who want a direct trail to Eagle Cap without fighting crowds. The boardwalk fishing on both lakes is right at camp, nights drop into the 30s so pack layers, and $10 a night keeps costs honest.

Skip if

No showers, no flush toilets, and Forest Road 39 stays snowed in through late May or early June, if primitive means roughing it more than you'd like, the valley campgrounds near Joseph will suit you better.
