Tent campers or small-rig owners who want no-fee solitude and real wildlife: moose, deer, and beaver are regular at dawn and dusk, Hoodoo Canyon Trail #17 starts at the campground, and the stocked lake has a dock. Come in September or early October for the best conditions.
Vault toilet smell reaches several sites and reviewers notice it. Summer mosquitoes are heavy enough to define the trip even with repellent. No potable water on-site, so pack everything you'll drink. Big RVs will have a rough time on the access road.

Fall offers the best conditions: crisp days in the 50s and 60s, mornings dropping into the 30s and 40s, and peak leaf color in September and early October. Crowds thin after Labor Day, leaving the trails and shoreline quiet. Summer is warm and dry but brings heavy mosquito activity. The campground operates from Memorial Day through October. Winter closes access with freezing temperatures and snow.
