Your car needs good suspension to get to the pay campground and even more so to get to the dispersed sites. The road isn’t that steep, but it is very rocky, rough and full of big dips. You can maneuver around some of the dips, but without good shocks, it will be a very slow ride. That being said, I did see a VW Jetta and a Camry make their way up. Though I’m not sure if they damaged their cars. I had a 4WD SUV and it was about 2.7 miles to site 10 after you pass through the Elk Refuge. Only took me about 15 min to get to site 10 in my car. There are 16 total dispersed sites. A few of the dispersed sites are grouped, I think 2,3 and 4,5,6. I was at site 10. There is a 10A just before 10. 10 is a large site big enough to park like 2 or 3 RVs. Site 10 has no trees, no shade and no wind protection. These sites are generally very quiet. Unfortunately, the popularity of the sites (maybe it was just the holiday weekend) draw more people than there are sites. People end up driving up the road without knowing availability and then are in a quandary as to where to go. These are first come first serve sites, yet because all sites were taken, some people felt they could just set up camp in my site while I was gone during the day. Pretty annoying when you go to a dispersed site to be away from other people. Texting service with Verizon, no data service I’d stay here again though.
