Big Basin Redwoods - How bad are the last 20 miles in?

I'm going camping but am getting scared by some friends who say the winding roads into Big Basin are horrid. How bad is it really? Should I take the Caravel or take a tent?

C&g

I was very pleased with the work C&G did on my vintage unit so don't let the age of your trailer keep you from giving them a call.
Hey - call a few places and see who you're most comfortable with.

C&g

I would recommend C&G Trailer - I believe they're in Bellflower if I remember correctly.
You'll love the 65 Caravel - although I might be a little biased ;)
