67 campsites and 45 picnic sites are marked in orange and green dots respectively in the map for tourists at the entrance of national park.

The campsites have parking and toilet facilities, piped water and concrete seats and tables. Nature trails and lookouts, play areas and hiking paths add to the interest of a tourist. Other than these campgrounds, most of the park remains a wilderness.
