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.

Whitetail Picnic Area

Whitetail Picnic Area is a 10-unit picnic ground nestled in the densely wooded area of Whitetail Creek Drainage. Fire grates are available and a vault toilet. There is ample parking space available for most sizes of vehicle. Be aware that the road to the picnic area crosses Whitetail Creek via a low water crossing that may be impassable during periods of high runoff.
