Reaching Park Reservoir requires a steep climb on Red Grade Road, and at least one driver reported pushing a tow vehicle's temperature gauge to its limit on the grade. Road conditions add another variable: construction above the Red Grade Road trailhead has introduced timed travel windows, so calling ahead before arrival makes sense. Four-wheel drive or a capable two-wheel-drive vehicle is strongly recommended. Facilities are minimal, with a vault toilet and an air pump on site. Hikers and cyclists have access to trails in the area, and the drive up provides open sightlines before reaching camp. Campers exploring dispersed camping near Bighorn National Forest will find nearby options as well, including Cross Creek Campground roughly a quarter mile to the southwest. Come prepared with fuel, water, and flexibility around the construction schedule.
