Beautiful location, extremely remote. Can't wait to go back.

The accommodations were great. Clean and cozy. The beds were comfortable. Fortunately we brought 5 gallons of water since no water is available. It was a little rainy but the wood burning stove kept us warm. There wasnt much wood in the cabin so we had to scout some out. The fishing was great. We were glad we brought our camp chef stove.

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin and did not find the roads too rough on the way in. We spent the day hiking around nearby Ice Cave Peak (off FR 298) and around the area of the reservoir. We were grateful for the wood stove when we had afternoon thunderstorms and chilly summer nights in the 40s.

IT WAS FAR UP! Hard on our car, but we had a great time! I’ll do it again.

Amazing! Very remote and beautiful! 30 miles from the closest "tiny" town and way up in the mountains. Drove without service pretty much the entire way up there, about 1.5 hours. To say you are on your own is an understatement. For my tastes, this place is truly Paradise. We saw a bunch of deer in the evening and a bunch more in the early morning. The stars were incredible and we even heard coyotes. The cabin itself is cozy and clean with plenty of firewood in the shed to the north. Very awesome! Definitely coming back to this one!

Great place to get away. Beautiful scenery. I’m glad we brought extra lanterns because there was no lighting. The stove kept the cabin warm at night. Paradise Park And Julian Park Reservoirs were both completely empty. I wish we’d known that before we booked our weekend because we wanted to fish. All in all it was clean and cozy and there was plenty of firewood.

Great location in early fall. Had there been water available this would be a 5 star review

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
