Universally accessible sites are available. Frequent afternoon thunder showers can be expected in the summer months.
Due to the mountain pine beetle infestation and hazardous tree removal, there is little to no shade in the campground. As of 2008, 3,000 pine seedlings have been planted to remedy this problem in the future.
