Each site contains a tent pad, fire grate and picnic table. All campsites with a tent pad have a bear locker. Popular activities include fishing, white water rafting and hiking. There are no sewer site hookups. The lower loop does not accommodate trailers, as the turn into the campground is very tight. The upper loop is open year-round.
