GOOGLE DIRECTIONS WARNING! This was very hard to get to but well worth the trek. Google takes you to a closed road that has been inaccessible for 15 years. We had to ask a local how to get there and then once he got us on the right path, we had to stop another car for further directions as we could no longer get service. Keep left at the turn offs, follow 63 down to the left after the trail head. Read other people’s directions because I’m unclear on how we finally made it there. But it was well worth the trek! Stunning views, secluded campsites, hiking trails along the river directly from the campgrounds. 10/10 recommend if you’re looking to get lost in nature.

Beautiful spot, but Jack's Pass leaves a lot to be desired. It will be so wonderful to stay there when the Index-Galena Rd gets fixed.

Campground is awesome. Great views and well kept sites. The road Google would have you take is still closed from a wash-out, so you will have to go up forest access road 65 like previous reviews have described.

Do the double campsites have room for more than one tent? It says I can have two cars but doesn't say anything about tent space.

1 hr and 53 min its 77 miles away

When is the best time to go so we aren't freezing well... really cold at night? Is there specific areas to pitch a tent? Or anywhere?

It really depends on your tolerance of cold, and the weather, and the sort of gear you own. It's open during the summer, but you'd want to look at weather trends. Because if you plan to sleep on the ground under some newspaper, no. You'll be cold. In a tent with a decent sleeping bag, yes. You'll be fine. Each campsite has room for at least 1 family sized sent. And a parking space that can accommodate 1-2 cars. Again, depending on the size of the car.
