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.

Swan Lake Cabin

The Swan Lake A-frame cabin was rebuilt in 2005 and has an oil heater (#1 stove oil only), 2 single bunks, sleeping loft, wooden table and benches, outhouse, and 2 rowboats with oars. Life jackets, stove oil, bedding, and cooking utensils are not provided. The cabin is surrounded by the steep peaks of the Cosmos Range. Be prepared, as poor weather can result in an extended stay.
