Great spot, but tough to get to-- flat tire on truck due to sharp rock 2 miles from cabin. Too bad that fire took out trees to the west of the cabin to keep it from being in shade in afternoon.

We visited October 27th-30th, 2022. The road down to the cabin had a lot of snow, we got stuck on the spur past the gate and had to dig out/chain up. Pretty hairy getting down off the Gravelly Range Road to the cabin (about a mile)- would recommend chains on all 4 tires if you feel confident or snow mobiles (it snowed about 18 inches a week earlier). With this much snow you're at the end of the road (nobody was driving past the junction to the cabin road). This time of year, come in from the Centennial Divide Road up the Ruby River drainage (west side of Gravelly's), then up Eureka Basin road. No peanut butter left for setting mouse traps, would recommend bringing a jar and leaving it in the table/cupboard. The propane lamp is still there, but need to bring propane for the lamp and stove. Evidence of mice but they were going for boot insulation, as we had our food secure. Maybe consider bringing a chainsaw because many of the wood rounds are too long for the smaller stove box. Cleaning supplies, paper towels, and some toilet paper was available, along with pots and pans. We had a great time at the cabin, it's very cozy and they installed new floors recently which are nice.

Good Cabin. Plenty of fire wood stocked for now if you want a fire! It was warm so we did not use the stove or outside fire ring. Lots of dead flies in the windows. Would recommend taking a battery operated vacuum if u have one. The gas lantern that was there before was missing. Luckily we brought a battery operated one from home. There is a coleman stove to use for cooking if u need it. It's stalked with Plenty of pots and other utensils. Saw a few deer, antelope, elk, and 1 moose while there. No mice issues but they are there. Guessing do to it being warm and we didn't keep any food in the cabin, they had no need to visit. Sleeps 3 with a bunk bed and a single with supplied mattresses.

We had a wonderful 5 days in the West Fork cabin, although there was considerable smoke from various fires, mostly a great distance from the Gravellys. The cabin is just right for 2 people. We bring everything we need, including pots, pans, water (for cooking, drinking), dishes, silverware, propane stove, propane lantern, etc. There are some dishes and pots, we prefer our own. There are mice and we would recommend bringing some traps and cheese/peanut butter; we got 4 mice while we were there. Doubt if there is any surefire way to exclude them from a cabin like this. A small spring runs some yards down the hill into an old concrete containment. Recommend bringing a couple of 5 gallon buckets to get washing/bathing water (and a pot to dip water from the containment to the buckets). Outhouse is accessible via a small, short trail with a considerable uphill grade at the end (not a problem for folks who are regular walkers/hikers). We really liked the remoteness of this cabin and, being off the main drag, traffic is close to zero (we saw one vehicle during the 5 days, but were gone typically from 10am to 5pm). Would definitely go back again!

Very long and rough road to get to the cabin. Beds are uncomfortable and cabin seems to have a rodent problem.

I was unable to access the cabin because of deep, wet mud and some snow on the access road high up in the mountains. Even though I have a Subaru Forester, I judged it best not to try to make it.

@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!!!
