5 stars all around, though you should know there is NO (room) service. It's a cabin, not a hotel. You pack it in, you pack it out. The well is nearby so water is no worry typically, though you might want to bring some anyway just in case it's not running well (

The cabin is completely amazing with locally sourced wood, it’s a bit cold in the winter but when you have a nice fire going opening windows is a must. The river behind the cabin is great by itself its common to see fish in September as they go upstream. Bathrooms are located close to the cabin itself along with a water spigot for the non-winter months. When staying here its super quite at night and I find it super relaxing, the outside fire pit is amazing. The cabin prices did increase to $75 prior to 2020. Vehicle access ends when the sunsets or close to it for example in September it will close around 7 pm but in November it will close at 4 pm. During April and August, it will close around 8 pm (9 pm late May) all gates are marked with the gate hours. The USFS has a host cabin onsite when occupied the representative will be more than happy to unlock the gate for anyone accidentally locked in. During the winter months the gates are kept closed due to dangerous road conditions but a walk into the cabin is a great experience and the host will help you bring your belongings to the cabin during this time.

Price increased from $50 night to $70 summer 2021. Hours of access to campground seriously limited. Gate locked earlier at 08:00 PM... mid Sept locked at 7PM. NO ENTRY OR EXIT ONCE LOCKED...except by foot. Boardwalk entry closed to foot access due to Bear activity in Aug and Sept

Caveat, I didn’t camp here, although I wish I did. I just walked through after hiking Mosquito Cove. Lovely camp sites and day use areas. Very tasty water from artesian well.
