Pulling 15' teardrop trailer with AWD SUV. Access road is up the groomed gravel road to McCullough Gulch Trailhead. Road has gate, but it is not closed at night. No parking along road. Campsites are clearly marked 1-6, but there may be others.
Campsite 1: We stayed here. Campsite road is a rough rock road about 100m long. A 2WD car might manage it, but 4WD is better. A large RV or trailer might be able to just pull in to an area straight down road, but it would be facing the wrong direction and backing out would be challenging. The main camping area is a 90 degree turn to the right. Very nice wooded area that even 2 smaller trailers could camp in. Lots of nice places for tents. Might be a good group camping area. My photos only show part of the camping area.
Campsite 2: Great pull-in for a 2WD/AWD car with a tent. Parking area on a hill, so not so good for a trailer or RV. Cleared tent area looked nice.
Campsite 3: Long, very rough road with several places to camp along it. Almost impossible for an RV or trailer to turn around on.
Campsite 4: Road looked to steep for my AWD SUV to attempt.
Campsite 5: I can't remember the site, but I do know that this site was our second choice of the six we looked at.
Campsite 6: Nice site, but I can't remember it much.
Hiking the McCullough Gulch Trail. If you hike, this trail is a little challenging, but amazing. Beautiful waterfall and mountain lake are worth it. Leave car at campsite, since parking is not allowed at trailhead. Start walking toward trailhead, and the shuttle bus will pick you up along the road and take you back afterward.

I thought I would give this one a shot. The main road isn’t too bad but all of the camp spots were either up or down hills, extremely narrow and rocky. I ended up getting my camper stuck trying to turn around to get out. I can’t review the actual camp spots. They might be fine in just a vehicle but do not try to bring an RV here.
