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.

Big Lake is located in a very scenic large meadow at an elevation of over 9,300 feet. Most dispersed camp sites are found near aspen and conifer trees for shade. There is a vault restroom near the reservoir north of Forest Road 080. Big Lake can be a great fishing opportunity, plus there is wildlife viewing, hiking, hunting, and OHV riding on designated routes. Please pack-out what you pack-in. Camping stay limit is 16 days.
