The park is at the southern end of the 56-mile-long reservoir, not far from the town of Weiser, Idaho. Brownlee is among Idaho's most heavily fished waters.

In addition to camp sites, the park has a potable water for every three sites, vault toilets, an RV dump station, and a fish cleaning station.
