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.

This campground has plenty of shaded areas during the heat of summer. A perfect assembly point for folks who plan to travel to Devil’s Pass for the amazing view. The Ice Caves are just a short hike away from this campground as well! A Maah Daah Hey trailhead is located at this campground.
