Forest Road 413 itself is fairly nice, I saw a Prius drive by and it was doing alright. The camp sites themselves are ROUGH. As others have noted, the ruts due to people driving in and out through the mud are deep, and presume that you'll be needing to rock crawl over dozens of ~5-6" mini-boulders to get into the sites.
These sites are not level, not in the slightest. Assume you'll be needing more than 4" of leveler(s). Unless you're willing to spend 30-45 minutes of Austin Powers parking in order to find the perfect blend of mini-boulders which level you out.
Almost all of the sites are trashy. Like a kitchen bag's worth of trash. Only saw 2 sites that had an office wastebasket's worth of trash.
Longer rigs need not apply. You can get about a ~35' trailer up the hill, and down the forest road, but nothing longer because those turns are sharp, and the paved road is very narrow, and there's a cliff about 3" beyond the edge of the pavement, so if you drop a tire off the road, it would definitely pull your whole rig over the edge with it. Also, you're not going to get it into very many of these sites due to the incredibly sharp angles of the entrances. I noted only about 3 or maybe 4 that would be compatible at that length, and even then, it'd be sketchy and probably bady-damaging.

"The use of washing machines in your RV is prohibited"
7 gallons of water to take a shower is OK, but 7 gallons of water to wash a load of clothes is verboten?
I'll pass on this place, no thank you.
Extra-wide forest service road that can accommodate any length of rig. You park alongside the edge of the road, and the trail traffic routes around you. It's a pretty cool road design, although you will experience a vehicle driving past your rig within about 4-6 feet a couple of times a day.
Stick close to the '89' you turned off of, and you will have a solid five bars of T-mobile 5G UC. Go further in, away from the road, where's there's one or two more spots, and the signal drops off to 1-2 bars of non-UC, but it's still 5G.
Caution, this road is COVERED in 4" to 6" rocks, so plan on 1 to 2 MPH, and if you need more butter, put the cream into the churn before you turn off...
FYI, there's a good place to turn around any length of rig about 3/4 to 1 mile down this road.
Great for an overnight stop, with decent Tmobile 5G
This state park is open year-round for activities, but closes for camping during the winter.
This is a single, extra-wide "pullout" beside a forest service road, about four miles off the highway. It's quite rocky, it's surrounded by a bramble patch, and there's literally nothing to see.
Any towable that's longer than about 34-35 feet will most likely not be able to get turned around in this spot to leave, so don't chance it.
If you have a towable, your camp side will face away from the road, because if you turn around and attempt to park facing downhill the way you came in, your tow vehicle will occupy the 'flat spot', and your trailer will be stuck up the hill behind you, at a 4°, 16" of downward slope.
At the one spot where you can land a trailer, there is a narrow area where it's perfectly level from side to side, so plan to spend a bit of time jockeying for position. Once you do hit that spot and get unhitched, you will find that you need to lower the nose at least 12" inches, so don't be putting blocks and stuff under your landing gear or it won't go down low enough and you'll have to re-hitch in order to remove them.
Oh, and Starlink works here, amazingly enough.
