The campground is within a half-hour drive from the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway. The facility offers 39 campsites situated under tall pines and hardwoods, with 22 sites featuring electrical hookups with 20/30/50 amp service. Two sites are double occupancy sites. Each campsite is equipped with a picnic table, fire ring, and lantern pole. The campground features a modern bathhouse with private hot showers, restrooms, and drinking water. A trailer dump station is available for registered campers. Of the 39 sites, 7 are first-come, first-served and cannot be reserved. The remaining sites require reservations made at least 3 days in advance through Recreation.gov. Some sites utilize a Scan & Pay system for first-come, first-served sites only.

Recreation opportunities include a 3-mile non-motorized trail system that winds through mixed pine-hardwood forest, plus over 5 additional miles of trails for hikers and bikers.
