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 advised
Do not take Old Maverick Road unless you have a four wheel drive and high clearance vehicle.
quoted from the driving directions - Unpaved approach
GPS Warning: GPS units may send you down Old Maverick Road, an unpaved, very rough road.
