29 large vehicle sites and 9 walk-in sites. There is a community parking area for anyone camping in the walk-in sites. The vehicle sites cost $10 per night and the walk-in sites cost $5 per night. An extra car costs an additional $3 per night, and firewood is available for $5 per bundle. There are no reservations, thus it is first come-first served. The campground is open from May 25th through October 2nd every year. The entire campground is self-sufficient, meaning no power or phones. There aren't any showers nearby either. There is a payphone and a county store several miles down the road.
There are many trails up here. Smith Homestead is before the bridge that takes you into the Diamond Mill day use and camping area there are very short trails at Smith Homestead but they are beautiful. Across the bridge at Diamond Mill there are trails that take you to the interpretative center which is a very cool place to visit the kids will love this place it a very short walk from Diamond Mill. There are trails that take you to the Wilson Falls which is 1.7 miles from the interpretative center it's a nice hike. You can also hike to Footbridge which is 3.2 miles from the interpretative center. These trails are a lot of fun they take you right along the edge of the beautiful Wilson river.
