The campground provides vault toilets and potable drinking water via hand pump. There are no hookups, showers, or dump stations. Trash service is not provided, so campers must pack out all garbage. The campground operates year-round on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations. Winter access depends on snow conditions on Forest Roads 222 and 234.
