The campground provides direct access to two short trails (Botanical Trail and Overlook Trail) and is situated near Cottonwood Creek for fishing opportunities, though the creek may not be easily accessible from all sites.

Note that the campground operates seasonally (May 23–October 14), charges $20/night, and requires food storage in vehicles due to bear activity; larger RVs may have difficulty navigating the tight loop roads.
