McBride Canyon Campground offers free, primitive camping with approximately 40 dispersed sites shaded by cottonwood trees, operating on a first-come, first-served basis with basic amenities including picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets—but no drinking water or hookups.

Access is via unpaved dirt roads off Highway 136 that can become impassable after rain, and the remote location provides peaceful seclusion though campers should arrive before sunset and bring all necessary supplies.

The adjacent Mullinaw Creek area features a trail system open to hiking and horseback riding (with horse corrals available), though the campground itself does not provide direct lake access for paddling or fishing.
