The locked gate is destroyed allowing access to the public and this has become a popular place for atv and side by side riders to use the facilities for their own use including illicit drugs, as their was a group at the site when we arrived for our stay. Until the FS fixes the gate expect groups of riders all day to be driving in, seeing it's occupied, then turning around. So if you have dogs or children please be cautious.

Great experience! Moving the stack of wood away from the cabin would maybe help with the ground squirrel population that is present. Cabin was well equipped with kitchen utensils.

Beautiful location and well equipped cabin. The cook stove didn't work so we cooked outside over the fire.

The setting greatly exceeded my expectations, very nice location and great cliff to look at and ponder over the camp file. Plenty of parking, and the cabin was very well stocked. I wish there were no mice turds, but there were some. Overall, great cabin that I would certainly stay at again. Make sure to hike .3 miles up the creek to the hidden deep canyon of creek, very unusual.

Nice cabin in a beautiful location. It was quiet, with the exception of the babbling Canyon Creek. Very well stocked, and clean, with plenty of firewood. Pay careful attention to the directions as Google Maps sent us on an extremely bad road.

The is one of my favorite cabins! We skied in 5 miles to get to it and it was a super great ski. Plenty of supplies (paper towels, dishes, garbage bags) and wood. Plenty of wood to split to replenish the split wood pile for the next people. **there is no lantern** Inside the cabin, it says there should be a back up stove, there is not one. But the current stove works great. **Bring 2 AAA batteries for the twinkle lights if you'd like. They are great for the dark winter nights! Highly recommend!!

Please see our past review from September 19, 2021 for more detailed info. More below for this visit. We are taking off a star for this visit as the rear window has been broken out. In the journals it seems it has been like this for over 6 weeks. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. Also, there was hardly any firewood so thankfully we had brought some and left enough for a few more guests. It's a rough drive for a car up to Vipond Park but it's really worth it! You also can see the road to the cabin and look down at the charcoal kilns from up there. Got to see some moose up there too. Bring some waders or high boots to hike the creek up the canyon. It was a blast! There were only about 6 pages left in the journal so if somebody could bring a blank hardcover book for future guests it would be appreciated. We remembered how bad the windows were so we brought razor blade scrapers and window cleaner and spent a lot of time getting the windows cleaned. Did not get the outside windows that were covered with nailed down screens though. Still we made a huge improvement.

This cabin is just perfect. Beautifully situated and this was our 9th visit.

@RobertP952 · Camped on Sep 19, 2021 at Campsite #1

RENT NOW! PRICE INCREASE! Starting next year the price is going from $20 to $45 a night + any $8 reservation fee so more than doubling. You can get there in a car but the past 5 miles are going to be fun. Car may bottom out several times. No Verizon service at cabin. About 6.3 miles before you get to the cabin at the top of a hill will be your last service if you follow the USFS directions in. You will also will pass the old Glendale smelter and the charcoal kilns on the way in. Stop by the kilns to learn about them. Lowlifes have shot into the pit toilet at the kiln. Honestly what goes through people's heads? Here is something nice for people let's mess it up? Only cabin I have ever been at that has emergency supplies including food and tools. GOOD JOB! Wood heater. A few games. Has a hitching post for horses. Has a sink and drains outside but no water. Has two 2 burner propane stoves that use standard small cylinder propane camping fuel. Had one propane light but as is the case the mantles were gone. Always carry mantles with you. 2 sets of bunk beds but no ladder to climb up if you are older and not physically able. Could stand on a chair if needed. Good amount of cooking items. Fire pit with picnic table. Very nice ADA vault toilet that looks newer. Good size porch. Nice view of the steep hills nearby. Some walking area behind the cabin and toilet. Creek nearby but you have to follow livestock paths between the willows to get there. Floor easy to sweep as it is plywood sheets instead of individual planks. Very little traffic on road that went up hillside when we were there which was nice. Locked gate for privacy. We really enjoyed this serene location and would stay again especially before the rate goes up if we lived nearby.

Great hiking to beautiful mountain lakes near the cabin.

The cabin and outhouse were clean, well stocked and perfect for our needs. The drive to the cabin was rougher than advertised and lucky we had our Jeep. The hikes to Grayling and Teacup lakes are wonderful but not that well marked.

Mid march and got stuck in the snow about 15 miles from the cabin, didn’t make it. Bring chains.

@BobR299 · Camped on Jul 7, 2020 at Campsite #1

the cabin was very clean. The area quiet. A wonderful experience. The gate could use some improvement.

We love staying at Canyon Creek. I think it was our seventh time and it never disappoints.

@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!!!
