The facility features a 20-by-40-foot pavilion with a Texas-sized charcoal grill, barrier-free double restrooms with vault toilets, picnic tables, and water for horses. The campground is located within an active bird dog training area where organized dog trials take place from October 1 through March 31. Visitors should check the on-site bulletin board for current trial schedules. Pets must be leashed (no longer than six feet) or otherwise under physical restrictive control. Quiet hours are enforced from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM. The site serves as one of the camping options for visitors exploring the LBJ National Grasslands multiuse trail system and nearby small ponds.
