White Rim Road in F350 w/ Camper – 11.5' Tall Rig – Feasible or Should I Bail?

Hey all,

I'm booked for a White Rim Road run with:

• Gooseberry A campsite (first night)
• Hardscrabble B campsite (second night)

My setup:

• 2022 F-350 SRW 4x4
• Northstar Arrow camper
• Total height: ~11.5 ft, length ~22 ft

Here’s the dilemma:

I got the permits, read this great piece (Truck Camper Adventure article) that said it’s doable but tight. But only recently saw the NPS vehicle height advisory: 9.5 ft max 🤦‍♂️

Not afraid of the switchbacks, and I’m experienced with narrow shelf roads – but I’m worried about:

• Rock overhangs
• Narrow sections near the Green River
• Potential damage or getting wedged

I’m considering these options:

1. Just do the drive to Gooseberry A and return
2. Try the full route (clockwise), including Hardscrabble B
3. Skip the whole thing and salvage my dignity

Anyone here run it with a tall rig like mine? Did you hit overhangs? Regret it? Any tips to avoid disaster?

Would love real-world input, especially if you've done it with a slide-in camper or long-bed truck.

Thanks!
