The campground offers 84 sites within close proximity to the river, with some positioned at the water's edge. All sites include electric hookups (20/30/50 amp), water connections, a BBQ grill, picnic table, and fire ring. Select sites also feature sewer connections. The park provides excellent facilities for extended stays, including three restroom/shower buildings with hot showers, a dump station for registered campers, and a camp store stocking snacks, drinks, and convenience items. A boat ramp offers easy river access for watercraft, while hiking trails and beach areas provide additional recreation. Free high-speed WiFi is available at the group ramada. Reservations are available online or by phone at 1-877-MY PARKS. Riverfront tent sites operate first-come, first-served and become available at noon each day.
