Amenities include two fire pits (one ADA-accessible), a large BBQ for charcoal or wood, six picnic tables, two shade ramadas, and potable water. The campground provides cold outdoor showers and vault toilets nearby, plus an RV dump station in the general Bluffs area. The entrance gate locks from 10 PM to 6 AM, so plan arrivals accordingly.
