The facility includes electricity, potable running water, a modern bathroom, and a kitchen equipped with a stove, microwave, refrigerator, and cooking utensils. The Savenac Tree Nursery was founded in 1907 as the Forest Service's largest and most productive nursery in the West, with operations concluding in 1969. The site now serves as a recreational area with interpretive trails, historic memorials, and a visitor center open Memorial Day through Labor Day.
