Skyline Big Meadow Way Point

I have done the drive many times, I am now taking the first trip in the RV. Most of the campgrounds are closed this time of year. The one opened mentions using Big Meadow dump. Looking at the various maps and info online it seems that the dump is at the way station. Can anyone confirm this as fact? Is it open this time of year?

    Also, beware of the low clearance at Marys Rock. Only 12'8". Most people take US340 or US29 around it.
  • The Sprinter is under 10 even with the AC on top. The way station is open. What is not clear is if that is where the dump is at or not.
  • The dump at Big Meadow is on a little road between the campground and the way station.

    Look at Big Meadow CG on google maps. Follow the road out of the campground back towards the way station. You'll see a road going off to the east that terminates in a maintenance/administrative area. You'll note a concrete pad on the north side of that road. Continue on that road to the entrance to the maintenance area and you will note a little loop that bears off to the left. That is the dump station.
  • Location was open and both the water at the dump station and the potable water were turned on. Based on location as long as the road is open you can access the location 24/7.
