The campsites are situated along a single direction loop road and are large but closely spaced. Some of the sites are park along and hike down while others have parking pads that pull into the site. The creek is close by and there is a great swimming hole just south of the campground (good fishing too). An onsite camphost provides support and sells firewood.
