To amplify DAW's comments, Trail is not a slot canyon. Yes, it is wise to not camp on the bottom of the wash. You may get some water flow but unlikely to be a real flood. Though to recognize that the peaks above the end of the canyon are pretty high and will catch moisture. Even "showers" can be pretty wet and sometimes yield thunder (thinking of some I have been in in March, which is admittedly a bit later. The main issue is more likely hypothermia so make sure you have adequate gear to stay warm and dry.
