The park is dominated by its namesake Steamboat Rock, a columnar basalt butte with a 600-acre surface area that offers spectacular hiking and panoramic views. The main campground provides 166 full-hookup sites with water, electricity, and sewer connections, plus 26 standard sites, all equipped with picnic tables and fire pits.

Campers enjoy access to seven watercraft launches, extensive docking facilities, and a variety of water activities on Banks Lake. The park features well-maintained restrooms with showers, a dump station, and accessible facilities throughout. Hiking trails range from the summit trail up Steamboat Rock to the scenic Northrup Canyon trail.
