The camp provided hotel-standard double-chalets, each with double bath, toilet, hot and cold water, electricity and laundry facilities, and a fully licensed restaurant provided meals. There was also a small library available and motor vehicle provisions including petrol.  A motorboat and pilot were also available for hire.
