The park offers modern amenities alongside historical attractions. Campers enjoy access to a swimming beach on the White River (no lifeguard), the half-mile Tunstall Riverwalk nature trail along the riverbank, a pavilion, playground, and public boat launch. The restored 1872 courthouse now serves as a free museum with exhibits about the town's steamboat port history and Civil War occupation.
