The facility can accommodate 48 camping units larger than 30 feet, making it big rig friendly. All sites meet accessibility standards and include tent pads, picnic tables, and fire grills. The campground provides two bathhouse units with flush toilets and hot showers, plus vault toilets dispersed throughout the grounds. Water faucets are available throughout the campground, and a central dump station serves RV guests. A campground host is stationed near the entrance, and garbage dumpsters are provided.
