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.

Cold Springs Peak Cabin
Originally built in 1931, qualifying for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places, this small 12’x14’ primitive cabin originally built to shelter Forest Service firefighters and work crews, sleeps up to 2 guests and offers a unique recreation experience. The cabin is positioned around near-vertical cliffs with panoramic views of the Bitterroot Mountains and into a small alpine lake and meadow below. This remote, historic and primitive cabin must be hiked into via the Pot Mountain Trail (Trail 169).
