History
The park was established in 1973 and transferred to Osage Nation management in 2012, moving operations away from federal control. This shift gave local leadership direct responsibility over the protected land.

Practical
The park has around 158 camping sites, with 48 locations offering electrical and water hookups for recreational vehicles. Check the season before visiting, as facility availability and water conditions vary throughout the year.
