Several sites are described as creek-adjacent, including Camp Site 70 and Camp Site 68, each about 100 feet from a serene creek and suited to campers seeking fishing and quiet waterside experiences. Electrical hookups are available at select locations such as Camp Site 34 and Camp Site 29, while premium dry sites like Camp Site 55 provide a secluded forest setting. Many campsites include standard amenities listed for each site such as a fire ring and picnic table; some sites offer pull-through parking, extra privacy, and proximity to on-site conveniences like a store and restrooms.

That event explicitly supports the local food pantry, reflecting a community-minded approach.
