Site 7 is the pick if this reopens: creekside picnic area, fits a 29-footer (barely), dense canopy shade. At $10/night with Afton six minutes away for forgotten gear, it's a cheap base for exploring the Salt River Range in summer.

The campground is decommissioned right now. Beyond the closure, past visitors reported washed-out sites, deer carcasses, and Forest Service maintenance that hadn't kept up. No potable water on-site adds to the roughing-it reality.

Summer brings mid-60s to mid-70s°F days and nights in the 30s–40s°F, making it the best season for fly-fishing, hiking, and creekside camping. Sites can fill quickly on summer weekends. Winter temperatures drop to the upper 20s–low 30s°F with snow blanketing the area. The forest provides natural cooling even on warmer days.
