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.
- Steep grades or switchbacks
Stay to the left around the switchback, onto Forest Road 281, then drive west for 8 miles.
