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.

Big Spring Campground

This campground is located in an open ponderosa pine forest and along a babbling creek. The campsites vary in size significantly to accommodate many different group sizes. Local ranchers will graze their cattle near the campground which means the cows can often be seen or heard in camp.
