The campsite itself offers basic amenities such as picnic tables and fire rings, but there are no toilets or potable water sources available. Visitors are advised to bring their own water and to practice Leave No Trace principles during their stay.

Interesting facts about the area include the presence of the Bighorn Sheep herd, which can often be seen along the riverbanks, and the historic significance of the Deschutes River as a major transportation route for Native American tribes and early settlers.
