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.

Narrow or single-lane roadTurn right onto the single-lane road and proceed 0.3 miles.quoted from the driving directions
