A staffed entrance booth offers a telephone for emergencies. The facility accommodates trailers up to 31 feet and motorhomes up to 40 feet, though no utility hookups are available at individual sites. Recreational opportunities abound with direct access to Lake Oroville for boating and fishing via the nearby Loafer Creek boat ramp.
