Official trail list and descriptions
Park Lodging[edit]
Park offers lodge rooms, cottages, and campsites
Campground[edit]
The campground has a total of 82 sites: 31 with full hookup, 19 with electric only, and an additional 32 sites that are standard sites with no hook up. Amenities include a heated bathhouse, laundry, campground store, games, and a playground area is on-site and open year round. Some campers have expressed that units over 25 feet in length are difficult to fit. If your camper is a greater length, feel free to contact the park to talk about sites and suitability. If arriving without reservation, stop at the check-in station first before occupying a site.
Lodge[edit]
The park offers two lodges, the main one McKeever lodge and the seasonal Mountain Creek Lodge only accessible by use of the tramway.
McKeever Lodge has 113 modern guest rooms and suites with some rooms offering gorge views. It features an indoor heated pool, game room, saunas, and exercise room, Bluestone Dining Room, a full service restaurant, and the Canyon Rim Cafe. Wireless access is available throughout the lodge and in most guest rooms. As well as a gift shop, reading areas, conference center, observation deck, and public foyers and lobbies.
Note: As evident by signs observed in the halls, and reviews online, lodge rooms have little sound proofing leading to apparent frequent noise complaints.
Mountain Creek Lodge is a 30 room lodge typically opening in mid-May through the last Saturday in October. These rooms offer cable TV, free wi-fi, microwaves, refrigerators, telephones and a relaxing view of the Bluestone River. The compact refrigerators include a small freezer section and total approximately 4 cubic feet. It also contains the Mountain Creek Restaurant, a gourmet restaurant, serving dinner dining by reservations only.

The park has 26 fully-equipped rental cottages complete with linens, cooking utensils, Cable TV, telephone, air conditioning, microwave and fireplace. These units vary in size from two-bedroom to four-bedroom and are available for year-round rentals.
