Most of its 45 sites have 30-50 amp electric service, though two waterfront tent sites have no hookup; there is no water or sewer service at any site. Showers, restrooms, and a dump station are on site. Maximum 2 pets per site on a 6-foot leash with current rabies proof.

Standard NY state park camping rates apply: about $17/night for a standard site, plus a one-time $7.25 reservation fee. Out-of-state visitors pay an additional $5/night; sites with 30-50 amp electric add $7-$9/night; waterfront sites add $6/night. Confirm current pricing before booking.
