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 detail from Recreation.gov, checked 2026-08-05. Where a field says “not published”, the agency has not published it — it does not mean zero.

Bear Valley Trailhead/Upper Campground

The dispersed camping area has 6 picnic tables with fire rings, hand pump for drinking water and a vault toilet. Please pack out your trash since garbage collection services are not available.
