No running water available, but there is a stream running nearby so bring filtration equipment. The Salmon River Saloon is two miles away and sells water as well. No bear boxes available either. The campsite has about six spaces total.
A fairly decent campground. Amenities are limited to basically picnic tables and a bathroom. If you're going up to the China Gulch trailhead, note that it's another 30-40 minute drive along a dirt road beyond here – it's possible to stay, but if you're trying to do the hike in a day, probably better to camp at the trailhead.
