A boat launch and a picnic area are located on the northeast side of the campground. Kingston Lake is the closest state forest campground to Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore . Visitors can travel east or west on H-58 directly from the campground to explore the park. There are 16 sites for tent and small trailer use. Camping is limited to a 15-day maximum stay.
