Go if

Backpackers and wilderness hikers staging for Eagle Cap will find this hard to beat at $10 a night. June through summer brings dry trails, riverside quiet, and light crowds on weekdays. Senior/Access pass holders drop it to $5.

Skip if

No potable water on site means hauling your own, and the unpaved access road may trouble low-clearance vehicles. No showers, no hookups, no cell signal to speak of, so if any of those are non-negotiable, this isn't your spot.
