The campground offers shaded sites beneath pinyon pine and oak trees with panoramic views of the San Joaquin Valley. It operates year-round on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations required. The campground serves as a trailhead for McPherson Peak Trail and Aliso Trail, making it popular with hikers. It also sees significant use as a hunting camp during fall season. Basic amenities include vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings at each site. No potable water is available, so campers must bring their own supply. Trash service is not provided; pack out all refuse. Quiet hours are observed from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Dogs are permitted but must be kept on a leash no longer than six feet. The campground has a 14-day stay limit.
