The campground also offers vault toilets, trash receptacles, and a water handpump. No electrical hook-ups, water hook-ups, or black water hook-ups are available. Handpump water may be available in the main campground from July to September. These dates may vary due to weather, well and/or pump maintenance, and water testing requirements.

The formation is made up of 10 square miles of weathered Sherman granite, providing lots of space to explore. The vegetation is a variety of Limber pine, Engleman spruce, Douglas fir, and Aspen.
