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.

High clearance or 4WD advisedFour-wheel drive and caution is recommended.quoted from the description

Every bookable site

No site here takes a 38 ft rig. The layout, for what it is worth.

Positions are the agency’s across 2 loops; roads, water and terrain are not shown, so this says where the sites are and not how you drive between them. 9 sites are not shown: their published coordinates fall miles outside the campground, so they are in the lists but not on the map.
