This campground has mostly level campsites in the RV only loop. The RV sites that are not marked accesible have large logs used to separate the campsites and the gravel parking pads which in some of the sites make the access routes to the picnic tables and fire rings too narrow.

There is also a RV/Tent camping area, where there is a slight slope from the parking pads to the the picnic tables for those sites and some have a 1-2 inch tread obstacle. This area has gravel roads.

There are also tent only campsites availabe with nonaccessible picnic tables and fire rings.
