No hookups, no cell service, cash or check only, and the nearest ATM is a real drive. Hot summer weekends pack the swimming holes and fill sites fast. If you need reliable firewood or modern conveniences, this setup will frustrate you.

Summer (mid-May through mid-September) brings daytime highs of 60-75°F and nights around 45-55°F. The campground closes off-season. This is when the Wilson River warms enough for swimming and when the group site sees heaviest use. Weekends and holidays get crowded. Bring layers for cool nights even in July. Insects cluster near water. Winter rainfall feeds the streams and keeps moss thick on the trees, but facilities are shuttered then.
Open mid‑May to mid‑Sept; summer praised for swimming, trail access and good weather (but can be crowded).
