You'd be able to make it to the coves in a small car, but beyond that it will be pretty rough and rocky. You likely will have to walk a few hundred yards to get down to the water. There will be some very small places you could camp and park but you'll have to look a little. I believe the best camping will be at the second cove you come to. It has also been pretty good for Cats historically. Last year the mormon crickets were thick in the Mountain Man lodge area (last cove before the road leaves the res) and the Cats were heavily stacked in there. I'd recommend checking that out. If the crickets are there I doubt you'll find a better spot to fish. If no crickets, I'd try the second cove.
Distance from the park? I'd guess on the water that it is about 10-12 miles, but over the hill it will be more like 38 because there will be some backtracking involved. Seems like from Jonathan Rd to the first cove is about 20 miles or so and from Jonathan Rd to Steck is about 18. Those are just estimates.
Good luck and we are expecting a full report with pictures.
