Jeff Busby Campground provides primitive camping with paved pull-through sites available on a first-come, first-served basis. The campground features flush toilets, drinking water, picnic tables, and trash receptacles. "Paved pull through sites are first come first serve. They seem to overlap and lots of folk share the sites," noted a visitor. The campground accommodates both tents and RVs, with several reviews mentioning adequate space for recreational vehicles.

Prophet Bridge offers more rugged backcountry camping opportunities with limited amenities. The area includes a boat ramp, picnic tables, and parking but lacks drinking water and restroom facilities.

    Prophet Bridge

    Fishing, boat ramp, picnic spot

    We have spent many nights fishing under the bridge. Haven't camped per se but many people fish the general area. There is parking lot and picnic area by the boat ramp. No amenities and if you want to explore other than the boat ramp area you need AWD or 4WD or it's a pretty good hike. This is more of an overnight fishing/parking/boating area for people passing through who don't require all the amenities of the campgrounds in the area.

    Prophet Bridge

    Boat ramp with picnic area

    Out of the way. Decent sized parking lot with boat ramp, picnic tables, and trash cans. Unfortunately it seems like the regulars dont know what the trash cans are for.
