Three bunked cots and two single fold-down beds are available (8 persons total), but you must bring your own bedding. Additional mattresses, cots, or sleeping bags can be packed in for larger parties.

A pit latrine located near the Bunkhouse is available for use. The modern temperature-controlled shower facility located in the Nature Center (year-round) or campground shower building (seasonally) may also be used by Bunkhouse guests.

Hiking trails, an observation tower and a swinging bridge are all nearby. Cross country skiing is a favorite winter activity.
