The park offers 181 campsites with a mix of non-electric and electric sites suitable for both RVs and tents, though full hookups are not available. Each site includes a fire pit and picnic table. The campground provides coin-operated showers and laundry facilities, vault toilets throughout, water hydrants for filling tanks, and a dump station. Sites 181-200 are designated walk-in sites, and truck campers or pop-up campers are not permitted in these walk-in parking areas. During the main season, which runs from the Friday before Memorial Day through September 30, reservations can be made up to six months in advance through cpwshop.com or by calling 1-800-244-5613. The park operates with a 14-day maximum stay within any 28-day period.
