Each site has an electric hookup, and several water spigots are centrally located. You might need 2-3 lengths of hose to reach to your rig.

There is a nicely-shaded group of picnic tables in the day-use area.

For fisherman, there's a nice pier.

A triple lane boat launch makes it easy for boaters to enjoy the surrounding waterways.
