The facility consists of 12 campsites split by Bear Creek; six northern sites include hitchrails and corrals for stock, while six southern sites are for non-equestrian use. Each site features a parking spot, picnic table, fire ring, food storage box, seasonal water hydrants, and vault toilets. The campground acts as a trailhead for the Middle Fork and Trail Fork trails leading into the Lee Metcalf Wilderness and up Sphinx Mountain.
