Opened on May 26, 2017, facilities include a ranger station, 32 RV campsites, 10 walk-in campsites, paved roads, a group camping area, three public-use cabins, a new hiking trail to alpine areas plus a network of trails for a range of abilities, and an interpretive center/pavilion. A 34-mile power extension along the Parks Highway was also part of this project that brought electricity to the RV campsites. Several campsites have views of the Alaska Range and Denali.

Visitors have the option of either setting up a tent in a well-furnished campsite, or parking their RV in sites that have power hookups. Most sites are fully ADA compliant. There are over 2 miles of walking trails throughout the complex, that are great for bicycles or skiing in the winter. A hand pump water well is located within both camp loops. Vaulted latrines are located throughout the complex for ease of access. The Campground Host resides near the beginning of the Tent Camp Loop. At this time, there are a few campsites that can be reserved online at https://alaskastateparks.reserveamerica.com/, but not all campsites can be reserved ahead of time. Campgrounds are typically open from mid-May through mid-September. Online Reservations are available from June 1 through August 31, but is dependent upon camp host and staff availability.
