Go if

Tent campers who haul their own water and want a near-empty camp next to moving water in the Wind River area will find this hard to beat in summer, when daytime temps stay in the 60s and trail access to nearby lakes opens up.

Skip if

The campground is closed for all of 2025, so nobody should be planning a trip here yet. When it does reopen, RVs and anyone counting on tap water won't have much luck, as facilities are vault toilet only and the 16-foot vehicle limit leaves most rigs out.
