It is recommend that all vehicles greater than 35-40 ft. do not attempt to drive beyond site #9 Approx 6 miles from Hwy 135 as the road becomes very rough, narrows and requires high-clearance 4×4 vehicles

FR 740 is a gravel base road that is well maintained and treated for dust. It is heavily trafficked by cars, off-road vehicles and bicycles. It is a two lane road until it reaches the formal campground, from there it becomes a single lane. The valley is popular with off-roaders, mountain bikers, hikers and nature lovers.

For all sites past site 6 there is a narrow one lane section of the road as it turns north. This section of the road is in some disrepair and is rocky. One side is a cliff face and the other a gully of rushing water. It is large enough for a 5th wheel to travel the lane without any danger, but it is not a fun spot to meet an oncoming vehicle. I would not attempt this section of road with a rig if there is any snow left on the road due to how close the river is to the roadside.

Past the private property along the road there is a clear sign stating "Narrow Road Not Suited for Trailer Traffic" at the cattle guard. This sign is not lying. The road has claimed many trailers through the years. It is along a sheer cliff face, with just enough rocks sticking out to grab your rig on one side, and a dangerous rushing river on the other. To top it off its full of rocks and ruts in spots requiring 4X4 and high clearance. The road is so narrow there is no ability to dodge rocks or holes.

Site 17 is a pull through but not level and close to the road. There is a hiking trail nearby.

There is no cellular connection in valley.
