Cell phone reception throughout this site is good.
A fee-payment box sits on a concrete pad near the entrance to the site. Beside it, on packed gravel, is a partially shaded information kiosk with site and safety information.
The campground host site is on one side of the kiosk and payment box. On the other side are the accessible single-vault toilet, a dumpster, and campsite 1, which is designated as accessible.
A concrete walkway connects the kiosk with the toilet and campsite 1. A concrete parking pad with access aisle is next to the toilet. Parking at campsite 1 is on a concrete parking pad or adjacent packed gravel area, both signed as accessible.
Campsite 1 has a metal picnic table on a concrete pad with an extended end to accommodate wheelchair users. A standing grill is next to the table, approximately 18 inches from the edge of the pad. Mobility device users may need to exercise caution around uneven spots on the concrete and any lip between the edge of the concrete and the surrounding gravel, both near the picnic table and near the toilet entrance.
A packed-gravel road suitable for most mobility device users connects this accessible campsite to a large parking area and the other 25 campsites, each with picnic tables without extended ends and grills sitting on packed gravel. All 26 campsites can accommodate RVs and campers hauled by passenger vehicles.
Shoreline access at the north and south ends of campground might present challenges to visitors with limited mobility as they have some slope and soft ground.
There is no potable water at this site.
