Campground shower houses provide warm showers and flush toilets, and a sanitary dump station is available near the entrance. Sites include picnic tables and fire rings. The campground is within easy walking distance of the park's centerpiece, the 198-acre Lackawanna Lake, as well as the swimming pool. Three camping cottages and two yurts are available in the Carpentertown Loop, providing alternative lodging options with electricity, bunks, and basic amenities. The park offers 18 miles of multi-use trails winding through forests and fields, along with boating, fishing, and mountain biking opportunities. Pets are allowed at designated sites in the Fox Run and Maple Lane loops. The park also features three organized group tenting areas with a combined capacity of 160 people.
