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.
- Unpaved approach
Go 2.5 miles and turn right onto a dirt road after crossing a bridge.
