Each site includes a fire pit, charcoal grill, and picnic table. A dump station is located at the campground entrance. Several sites can accommodate large RVs up to 70-93 feet, with pull-through options available at sites 3, 12, 24, 25, and 27. Beyond the main campground, the park also offers primitive backpacking sites accessible only by foot, horseback, or mountain bike, as well as a 20-site equestrian campground with flush toilets and shared water spigots.
