Fall hunters and anglers who want deep solitude on a tight budget. The meat pole at the entrance, bear boxes at most sites, and productive trout fishing in Jack Creek make this a serious backcountry base. Grab one of the three larger sites before they go.
No potable water, no cell service, and 18 miles of dusty rough road are the entry fee. The two smaller sites offer almost no shade or privacy. Anyone who needs hookups, a flush toilet, or pavement within ten miles will be miserable here.

Fall delivers the best conditions: sunny days in the 40s to 60s, nights dropping into the 30s or below freezing by late September. The aspens hit peak color then, trails stay clear, and bugs disappear. Fishing for trout remains productive as fish prepare for winter. Solitude peaks since the five-site campground sees far fewer visitors than summer. Spring brings wildflowers to the meadows; winter buries the valley in snow and limits access.
Fall described as best: sunny days, peak aspen color, trails clear and bugs gone; popular with hunters.
