There are four designated RV spots and an area for overflow/larger rigs. We have a 20ft Airstream towed by a 4Runner and had no issues navigating the designated RV spots. The road is rough.
There is a vault toilet and water by the group camp area.

We stayed in site 4, it was pretty level. Nice picnic table and BBQ pit near, but the county was not allowing any fires at all while we were there. No hookups. There are vault toilets down the road a bit by the tent camping, but we used the restroom in the RV. There is also drinking water down by the tent area, but not for filling RV tanks. The road was potholed but it was fine for our 19ft rented RV, we drove on worse during our trip. We arrived at the parking lot at 3pm and saw coatis, and then hiked up in the early morning and saw them come out of the cave, that was the best part about camping here! Gates to the property are closed overnight, so you do have to arrive during business hours. We had cell phone service up by the cave, but not down at our site.

This was a small campground. Only 4 sites are set aside for RVs. More sites were available down the very rough road. We had to stop first at the cave gift store to fill out the registration for the campsite and pay the $12. The road in was a bit bumpy - the blacktop was crumbled and choppy, but it was easy to drive when we took our time. The bad part of the road was only about 1/2 mile. There were multiple trails to hike and the hills were beautiful. It was quiet and peaceful even though two other campers were there. Sites 1 & 2 were close together and sites 3 & 4 were close, but everyone was polite and quiet. We enjoyed our stay.

“Not for big vehicles! ”
noted 3/18/2022
This place is quite pretty, however, you don’t want to bring a big vehicle here, at all. First thing the turn going into the campground is barely accessible with tree branches scraping the sides of the rv. The campground cannot accommodate even one big vehicle and allow anyone else in or out. We drive a 38ft class A. We chose not to camp here for that reason, even though we made it to the campground. The biggest I would say that could comfortably camp here would be about 26 ft and that is pushing it. We had a hard time turning around. There is a sign after the tiny campground that says no vehicles over 20 ft. Then on the road to the mountain cave there is a turn around for big vehicles. The hike to the cave from here is just not worth the effort.
If you have a bigger class A, I suggest to avoid this area. It is beautiful but really unfriendly for big rvs.
