Facilities at Frank Jackson State Park include a handicap accessible bathhouse,
picnic pavilion/shelter and walkway located adjacent to the campground. There are
twenty-six pull-through campsites, three of which are handicap accessible. In addition to
these sites there are five tent sites with water.
A boardwalk/bridge leading from the boat ramp/parking area to the island is one of the
