Two friends and I went on a four day camping trip towards the end of August 2015. The campsite is remote, but well maintained. There are several hiking trails nearby, as well as the CSU Mountain Campus, Pingree Park. This campground is one of my favorite in Colorado and offers a nice secluded car camping experience. Most people only go as far as Jack's Gulch (another good campsite managed by the same camp hosts), but if you are willing to go the distance, it is a great experience. Note, because of its altitude, the nighttime temperatures at Tom Bennett can drop down to the low 30s, even in August. In addition, unless you carry around a sat phone, there is absolutely no cell reception.
