The Setup

RVs up to 30 ft can manage the paved entrance and loop; approach with caution due to steep, winding roads and the hairpin inside the campground; choose a site on the outer edge if available to ease maneuvering; prepare for gravel/pitched sites and no hookups

Functional basecamp rather than a secluded forest retreat; you are close to amenities (general store) and wildlife habitats; privacy is modest and site spacing is tight

Bath & Laundry

Showers are not on-site; Roosevelt Lodge offers showers about 2 miles away; no on-site laundry information available
