Most sites can be reserved in advance, while a few are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Each site is equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring with grill. Accessible vault toilets are provided throughout the campground. A campground host is on-site during the season. A pleasant 1.5-mile hiking trail loops around the campground and into the surrounding forest, accessible to both campers and day-use visitors. The Pecos Wilderness can be accessed eight miles from the campground, with trails leading to majestic peaks and through valleys, canyons and forest. Additional recreation opportunities along Highway 475 include hiking and biking trails, picnic areas, and in winter, both Nordic and alpine skiing. The campground is adjacent to Hyde Memorial State Park, where a dump station is available for a nominal fee. There is no water, electricity, or dump station on-site.
