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 approachTurn left on Forest Road 425, at the Timber Creek sign, and drive up the dirt road another 3 miles to the campground.quoted from the driving directions
