I don't have a lot of experience on the Beaver County side, but it's a beautiful area up there, literally minutes from my home. I camp quite often near Puffer Lake, Timid Springs, and the dispersed camping area around MP 27.1 on route 153. I'm not a fan of campgrounds, and generally avoid them. I recommend this area very much except for those who may have difficulties with the high elevation (the areas I mentioned are near 10,000'.) Weather should be nice, excepting for the seasonal afternoon/early evening monsoon rain shower (bring the tarp and the poncho even though they don't normally last very long.) FYI -- there's a rather impressive lightning show going on up there right now ... just caught myself staring out the window at it.
Unfortunately, work seems to be never ending. I'll be on a chip seal project on SR 12 east of Tropic next week and will not be able to join you.
Wishing you an enjoyable trip ... I'm jealous ...
