Anglers and paddlers can access Little Sunflower River through both drive-in and boat-in options, with the campground positioned along the river within Delta National Forest. The US Forest Service manages this basic facility, which charges $7 per night and requires reservations. Only two campsites appear to be available, with one marked as site 80B.
Recent visitors report maintenance issues with the pit toilet and bear-proof garbage containers, along with a notable fly problem. The campground prohibits pets and provides basic toilet facilities plus cell service coverage. Campers seeking more developed camping areas around Delta National Forest may find better-maintained options elsewhere in the forest system.
