$15 for NV residents, $20 out of staters.
First let me say it is my opinion this campground is made for tents, vans and maybe small iPod trailers. While the one lane dirt road up is in good condition, there are no pull outs if someone is coming down while you’re going up. Once you enter the campground the road narrows even further. The Juniper Trees and scrub are so close that you’re bound to scratch your rig. My husband has years of driving and maneuvered our rig perfectly but we still rubbed a bit with our 40’ 5er. While some sites would fit us the narrow road and trees prevented us from backing in. Only one site would have worked but it was taken. We only tried coming up here because I saw a pic of a 5er here and the ranger who has been here many years said he’s seen many large rigs here over the years. All this aside, the campground, park and tour were wonderful! We were told we could go to a dirt overflow lot if we wanted but it wasn’t very big and access was quirky. We took the rangers advice and boondocked in a small, flat rock quarry about a mile outside the park. Ranger Jeff even checked on us later to see if we found it and if we needed anything. Super nice guy. This review ONLY reflects OUR rig. This would be a great campground if your trailer is small. NO CELL.

Easy off the highway (look for approaching intersection sign if driving north). Any size rig. Quiet and clean. We are hold up here due to Ft. Nelson fire waiting to continue north with lots of locals.

Map signs also call it Haeckel Rd.
Easy flat access on a paved road. Tons of good flat areas to choose from. We pulled over just where the pavement turned to dirt. Quiet with gorgeous views of the mountains. We had a quick stay to visit nearby Clinton. A wonderful mining town.
