Tree cover varies by location, with some sites offering substantial shade while others are more exposed. A camper noted that Fredericksburg Access is "a free campground with about 10 primitive sites. Grassy coverage with a mix of gravel or grass pull-ins. Lots of trees but still great stargazing at night." Wildlife encounters are common, particularly at dawn and dusk when deer and various bird species are active around tent sites. Pack-in, pack-out principles apply at all conservation area tent campgrounds, as trash facilities are limited or non-existent.
