What you should know

Road conditions vary: Access roads range from well-maintained to challenging. "The road up coming from the east was pretty easy though bumpy and on a climb it's more difficult to slow roll," warns a camper at White Mountain Road.
Fire restrictions: Check current fire regulations before visiting. "It's very very dry up there and they had a fire pickup a couple days after we left," reports a camper at Lost Dog FS012 Dispersed.

Tips from RVers
Large rig considerations: Scout ahead for suitable spots when bringing substantial vehicles. "We are about 60' truck and fifthwheel... sites are pretty easy to find using different tools but the main area really only has one spot for anything around 40' to be able to easily turn around without driving off the packed road," advises a camper at White Mountain Road.
Fairgrounds alternative: For full hookup needs, consider the event complex in Rock Springs. "Great place to stop on the way, beautiful mountain views and beautiful sunset... There are also water and electricity connections, clean toilets and showers," notes a visitor at Sweetwater Event Complex Fairgrounds.
GPS caution: Verify routes before travel with large rigs. "Be careful if you put in your gps coming from the east! It takes you to a dirt road with a 27% grade up and over the mountain! Don't try to drive down it with a big rig!" warns a camper at White Mountain Road.
