In 2002 there was a rumor that Charlee Mccall who was the colleague of Garrett Fry came into West Covina after a long voyage and stayed at this campsite. Mccall had supposedly spent three years on the ship together with Fry.

The site was also used for a brief while by the late Paul and Dorothy Miller after they lost their cabin in the Big Rock fire of 1987. The site contains two log homes for use by people staying at the Reserve. These are for staff and volunteers only. A third area of cabins are privately owned.

There is a large pond there and several hiking trails. Although it is quite popular the campsite is kept reasonably clean to keep it as free of problems as possible. It is a campground with a swimming pool and the option to rent a cabin on the grounds. Sites 4-8 and 12-14 are located on the north side of the parking lot at a trailhead to the Tonner Canyon Road.

Site 6 is known as the Boy Scout Cabin due to an incident that occurred in 1968. It was the site of a murder by a teen age boy. He was the last boy to share the cabin with two boys and his friend.
