Non-motorized boating is permitted on the reservoir, and fishing opportunities abound in the surrounding lakes and streams. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations. Amenities include potable water available from a hand pump, three vault toilets, picnic tables, and cook grates at sites. Bear boxes are provided for required food storage in compliance with the Shoshone National Forest Food Storage Order. There is no cell service at this location. Trailers are limited to 24 feet maximum length due to site spur constraints. The stay limit is 16 days, and pets must be kept on leash.
