On-site amenities include flush toilets, running water, and a dump station, though there are no shower facilities inside the campground. All sites are located within a ten-minute walk of the rocky ocean shoreline. The park's 27-mile Loop Road and network of stone carriage roads for biking are accessible directly from the area.
