At first glance I thought "Damn, we came on the wrong day." As I pulled into the parking lot it looked like the range was almost full. I decided to park and unload some stuff from the vehicle when I was approached by a man and his two sons. They asked me if I wanted to use their target stand and space they had been using. I declined at first just to be polite but then he insisted. I imagine he didn't want to wait for the range to clear to pick up his stuff so he just gave it to us. Our lucky day. We immediately plopped down and set up.
Everyone once in awhile someone will take the initiative to ask to stop the firing and "clear" the range so other's may move or replace their targets. Oh, by the way. If you don't bring yourself a target and stand, you're going to be shooting at mounds of dirt. Also, be sure to take out what you bring in, this includes spent shell casings. A lot of people were shooting rim-fire when we were there and not many people were bothering to pick them up but it's just the polite thing to do. So even if you pick all up that you've used, pick up a little more for good measure.
As far as facilities go, there are a few port-a-potti stalls but as expected they were nasty as hell. I could be wrong but their didn't look to be any kind of ranger/marshall controlling the flow so just please be safe and respectful.
If you're the last one out, close the gate!
