There are 30 new picnic shelters at the park with five family sites, two large pavilions that will accommodate large groups of 200 each and two more restrooms. The park contains 31 campsites (21 pull-throughs and 10 back ins) all with 50 Amp electrical and water, a dump station, 10 equestrian pads with electrical and water and two restrooms with showers.
