The numbers that decide it
Recreation.gov publishes no site-level detail for this campground, so we cannot say what length of rig it takes. Call the managing office before committing to it in a large vehicle.
Site-level RV detail confirmed against Recreation.gov. Where a field says "not published," the agency has not published it — it does not mean zero.

Campsites here are spread through a stand of medium-sized ponderosa pines at the end of a road that once brought miners and equipment to the historic Reef mine and townsite. This campground is tucked among pine trees at 7,400 feet and offers spectacular views of Ramsey Peak. It’s a perfect destination to soak in the scenery and venture out on a hike from either of the trailheads at the campground. Garbage bins & a horse corral are available. Black bears in area.
