The single-loop campground overlooks the 470-acre Meeks Cabin Reservoir, providing direct lake access for visitors.

The campground features 24 single sites and 5 double sites, all operated on a first-come, first-served basis. Popular activities within 5 miles include fishing and mountain biking. Each campsite includes a picnic table and fire pit.
