Cell phone reception in this site is minimal to nonexistent. Campsite 14 near the upper toilet has the best chance of reception. 

The 4-mile dirt road providing access to the campground is narrow, rough, and curvy and can be in poor condition, depending on the weather. A high-clearance, 4-wheel drive vehicle is recommended. 

The campground has 3 toilets, all of which sit on large concrete pads. The cash-only fee box and covered kiosk with site information are on compacted gravel near the lower double vault toilet. The middle, single vault toilet connects to accessible campsite 7 via a concrete sidewalk and paved pathway, which can be a little rough in spots. The upper, double vault toilet sits on a small hill above the road. Erosion has caused a large lip between the packed dirt and the concrete pad.  

Bear-proof trash cans are spread throughout the campground. They may be difficult to open for visitors with limited dexterity. Wheelchair-accessible cans sit on concrete near the upper and middle toilets. Trash cans near the group site are not wheelchair accessible.  

Trees provide shade for the 1 group and 16 individual campsites. Each campsite has a picnic table and a fire ring, and there is parking for at least 1 vehicle except at campsites 3, 4, 5, and 6. Some tables have recessed legs that could accommodate wheelchair users. Many campsites have an uneven, rocky surface, which may be challenging for some visitors with limited mobility. 

Campsite 7 is the designated accessible campsite. It has 2 picnic tables, an elevated fire ring with a grill attachment, and a tent pad. One table has a bench on one side only, leaving the other side open to accommodate wheelchair users.  

There is a signed accessible parking space between campsite 7 and the middle toilet. Surface transitions from the middle toilet’s concrete sidewalk to the concrete pathway, asphalt pathway, and finally the packed dirt in campsite 7 can be a little rough in spots. 

The group site is near several trash cans, the kiosk and pay station, and the lower toilet. The site’s narrow entrance includes several rock steps. It has 3 picnic tables, a standing grill, and a fire ring. Campsite 10 is a pull-through site with a picnic table and low fire ring with grill attachment. The site is scattered with tree roots and rocks.  

The gravel road through the campsite is irregularly maintained, with storms sometimes washing out parts of the road. Trails and pathways through the campground are narrow, rocky, and steep in spots.  

There is no potable water at this site.
