Wagon Tongue Gulch Rd. requires a capable 4WD vehicle, so if Google Maps tries to take you down that road, find an alternate route. Also, if you have campsite reservations, you only need to pay a single day use fee for the entirety of your trip. I was not informed of this, and thought that I had to pay each day.
