All parking and road surfaces, both at the boat ramp and the nearby campground, are a hard natural surface. The parking spots are appropriate for accessible parking, even though they aren’t striped or signed, i.e., designated for accessible vehicles.

Two accessible unisex vault toilets are near the boat ramp, and one double vault toilet is centrally located in the campground. These toilets are designed to be accessible, but due have a 3 inch lip off the front edge of the concrete pads they sit on, and this may present challenges for visitors with mobility impairments. There is no running water at the site.

Of the campground’s 13 campsites, which are available on a first-come, first-served basis, 3 of them were designed with raised tent pads and parking areas wide enough to accommodate side lift of van type vehicles.  All sites have picnic shelters covering accessible picnic tables with extended tops for wheelchair users; and accessible fire rings and grills. From site 10, there is a hardened path to reach the centrally toilets. All other paths in the campground are loose gravel.

The larger group campsites, sites 12 and 13, are farther from the center and are equipped with separate single vault toilets. These sites, like the others in the campground, have some accessibility features. They all have accessible pull-in, pull-through, or extended parking areas that can accommodate vehicles with wheelchair ramps. All sites have picnic shelters and accessible picnic tables, and most have accessible fire rings. Group site 12 has an accessible grill.

For the day-use area near the boat ramp, there is parking for 10 vehicles. The day-use area has a large picnic pavilion for groups, with 2 accessible picnic tables and an accessible stand grill. In addition, there are 3 single picnic shelters, each with an accessible table and grill. Bollards and wooden rails with narrow gaps between them have been installed near the picnic pavilions. 

The boat dock is not accessible to people using mobility devices due to a 15-inch gap between the ramp and the dock.
