Some of the campsites have spaces large enough to accommodate camper vehicles and trailers, although trailer hookups are not provided. Fuel for fires or the camp stoves should either be brought to the park or purchased from the store that is located in the park. Just across the park road from the waterfall are 28 picnic sites with tables, stoves and piped drinking water. Thirteen more picnic sites are located near lake Britton. Here it continues down the canyon as far as Lake Britton, where there are picnic tables, a boat launch ramp and sandy beach.
Swimming is permitted here, although there are no lifeguards on duty.
Because the bottom of the lake slants sharply downward, children and non-swimmers should be especially careful. Fishing is good in Burney Creek and Lake Britton, where bass, pike, brown and rainbow trout are the most frequently caught varieties. Campfire programs and interpretive hikes are given during the summer months - a season marked by very warm days and long, cool nights, The Pacific Crest Trail, which makes its way from the Mexican border to the Canadian border, also passes through the park. Two hikes close to the park are recommended. One is to the north and the other to the south.
