It is a perfect spot for camping enthusiasts who love to explore nature and enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, fishing, and boating.

The Jelm Mountain Observatory, located just a few miles from the campground, is another attraction that draws many visitors.

The campground amenities include picnic tables, fire pits, and vault toilets. Potable water is not available, so visitors are advised to bring their own drinking water. The area is pet-friendly, but pets must be kept on a leash at all times.
