Go if

Anglers and backpackers who want genuine solitude: reviewers specifically call out miles of fishable creek and scenery that justifies the 1.5-mile carry-in from Hobble Creek Campground. Free, first-come, and open June 1 once the trails clear.

Skip if

No potable water, no hookups, a ford crossing that turns dangerous in high water, bear country requiring proper food storage, and the nearest supplies are 79 miles away in Kemmerer. Car campers or anyone unprepared for true primitive conditions should look elsewhere.
