The campground offers 18 campsites with gravel roads and spurs throughout. This primitive campground provides vault toilets but has no drinking water available, so visitors must bring their own water supply. The campground is managed by the Spanish Fork Ranger District and operates seasonally, typically from late spring through fall. Access is via the Nebo Loop Scenic Byway, which is closed in winter due to heavy snow from late October through June or July. The campground has a 7-day stay limit.
