Sites come equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and grills. Shared amenities include vault toilets, drinking water, and trash collection, though no electricity is available. A swim beach and the WeWuKiye Trail are within walking distance, and a public boat ramp is located at the adjacent Shoreline Campground.
