Every site here is listed for one vehicle. Agencies differ on whether a truck and the trailer it tows count as one or two, so this may not affect a fifth wheel — but it does decide whether a second car can come. Worth a call before you rely on it.

Getting there

What the agency says about the road in. For a long rig this is often the binding constraint — a site that fits is no use behind four miles of shelf road — and none of it appears in the campsite data.

Rigs not recommended on this roadIt is not advised for longer vehicles, including trailers and other recreational vehicles.quoted from the driving directions
Unpaved approachIt takes approximately 90 minutes to drive the long narrow, winding, largely unpaved road that leads to the area and its two campgrounds.quoted from the description
