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.

Black Bear Lake Cabin
Pan-abode cedar log cabin (12’ x 12’) on the shore of Black Bear Lake, high in the Klawock Mountains. Lake is clear, cold, amid rugged mountain peaks rising to nearly 4,000’ (1220 m) elevation. Accessible only by floatplane. Spectacular scenery, hiking, hunting, photography. Wildflowers in mid-late summer. Resident rainbow trout, fair fishing. Black bear, deer hunting in fall. Sleeps up to 6, has a wood stove for heat, (please bring firewood or biobricks for the wood stove as firewood is not guaranteed), rowboat (flotation devices not provided). Bring your own personal flotation devices, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, cooking stove, lantern, pots, pans, utensils, food, toilet paper, and garbage bags. It’s a good idea to bring your own water. Please take your fuel container with you when you leave.
