The campground offers many sites allowing campers to enjoy the great outdoors, taking advantage of large shade trees, green grass and a running creek.  The campground is seventy-five percent shaded with open areas devoted to a large covered concrete gathering area, bath house, covered concession area with picnic tables and an arena used for fun shows and other events.  A soft, flowing creek trickles through the campground year round, offering drinking water for horses and wading for old and young alike.
