The main attraction is a large sand cave that is wide enough for most vehicles to drive through.
Large groups and clubs are welcomed and primitive camping is permitted. There are no electric or water hookups but generators are allowed. The park office sells bagged ice and t-shirts. Amenities include restroom and shower facilities and a food truck that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.
