Beautiful and spectacular views can't be beat. Thanks for opening it up to the public.

The Lodge was great as always. My only complaint was that the solar lights were not working - which is not a huge issue, but no one let us know from the USFS. Luckily, we had friends staying there before us, so they gave us the heads up to bring plenty of lanterns. Again - not a huge issue, but it could have been pretty dark if we had not known. Better communication by the USFS would be much appreciated. Also, the fridge was not working, which with it being winter was not an issue at all, but again, the communication would have helped.

As advertised, its cold and dark with no electricity or running water (Nov 2023). Incredible experience though and we will be back. Unbelievable views and wildlife.

The views can't be beat; but I wouldn't stay here again unless the water/electricity was on... and everyone should consider that they're going to share the Lodge with tons of mice. We stayed 2 nights late Oct. upon arrival there was mouse droppings on all countertops/cooktops & even mattress. In the morning it was clear they'd made the rounds again; one night there was one that was stuck in the empty trash can, couldn't jump quite high enough to get out so had to be "rescued". If I'm co-habitating with rodents I at least want to have access to warm running water for proper cleaning. FIREWOOD** bring twice what you think you'll need > we thought we'd have plenty & ran out the first night, day 2 was spent using the chainsaw we thankfully brought to cut firewood from the ample stacks of limbed lodgepole near the lodge. Lows were single digits @ night & low to mid 30's during the day - using the the wood stove & stone fireplace constantly never saw the indoor temp get above 55. In the winter I can imagine someone needs to be stationed to feed the fire 24 hours a day to keep the main room of the lodge comfortable... the bedrooms were SO cold . Warmer than tent camping but definitely an exercise in fireplace feeding! Not fishing & hiking as I had planned (still enjoyable though)... The fridge froze much of our food (even after being adjusted) The cooktop range works now- but the oven wouldn't light ... there is a small stone fireplace in the kitchen that worked well for cooking elk steaks in the cast iron & flame fed reheating some premade mac n cheese. Kitchen is equipped (pots, pans, percolators, dishes, utensils) -fashioned a small dishwashing station using the plastic tubs & refillable reservoirs that were there. Would love to see (& maybe FS does this?) A deep clean spring & fall to freshen up the place (re-weather strip/organize/area rug steam clean)... I volunteer as tribute! (as long as you turn the water back on :)

The beauty of the lodge setting and surrounding landscape is stunningly epic. The old lodge is such a gem of the forest service rental program. Its a true gift back to the people to have it in the system. The lodge is well maintained. The new bed mattress is wonderful! Do not be misled but the inside photo of a large pile of split wood beside the fireplace. On our visit there was no chopped wood. Bring your own if you want a fire. There is a very strong smoke smell inside the cabin from the fireplaces and wood stove.

We had a good time. It was very cold. Spent most of our time hovered around the wood stove. View was beautiful.
@WesM3914463 · Camped on Jan 15, 2023 at Campsite #1
This was my second trip into the lake. We went in to fish. The trip was great the lodge was great. We had to cut wood to stay warm. Cutting wood was a problem this time of year do to the amount of snow. The new restroom the forest service installed closer to the lodge was a great addition. I would tell people to bring a chain saw and be prepared to cut a lot of wood there was wood at the lodge but you don’t want to use it all so the next group can a least get a fire going to warm up after the trip in. Thanks for. A great time we’ll be doing it again.

The cabin provided comfortable shelter during a very cold week in October. The woodstove warms the main living area very well, and we moved the bunk beds out to the living room to stay warm at night. The forest service stocked the wood for our use! We needed an ax and hatchet to split the wood, but never needed the chainsaw. We caught two mice in the sticky mousetraps that we brought, but the house was otherwise very clean and ready for use. Green River Lakes has great fishing (we caught 3 rainbow trout), hiking, paddleboarding/kayaking, and in the winter, snowshoeing, snomobiling and cross country skiing. We've now visited in 3 different seasons and have had a great family experience each time!

This is such a gorgeous destination, and the cabin is very comfortable. Glad to have solar powered lights & refrigerator, and that we brought plenty of water and firewood. The only drawback was the scuffling of hundreds of tiny feet in the ceiling keeping me awake at night. Bring your earbuds!
@SDavidM5823730 · Camped on Feb 21, 2022 at Campsite #1
Post a Suggestion-------build the fire in the back half of the main fireplace to prevent smoke accumulation in the cabin and promote air draw into the fireplace from the room.

Great time at the lodge. Definitely a tough snowmobile trip as the trail hadn’t need groomed. This would be a five star review if the forest service would stock firewood. Wood is the sole heat for the cabin and it’s never stocked anymore so we spent the first day having to fall trees and split wood. Every year the forest service crews are cutting and clearing up near the cabin and I can’t understand why they don’t just drag it to the cabin instead of burning it to clear it.

Great fun be prepared to get a lot of fire wood you will need it. When you get there make sure the solar panels are free of snow.lodge is great with lots of room and a great view of the lake and mountains.

Gorgeous place to stay. The view out the big large picture windows is breathtaking. We set a scope up to look for wildlife up on the high bench to the southeast. The showers were on for part of our visit, before they were turned off for the winter - nice to have a hot shower after days spent hiking. The wood stove works great. Never started the fireplace. Gas stove has an automatic pilot; you just turn the knob and the burner fires up. Bring along some mouse traps. We caught several mice, but none the last two days of our 7 day stay, so must have gotten them all. What we enjoyed the most was kayaking on the lake, and were very glad we brought the inflatable kayaks along. Highly recommend the hike up Clear Creek Valley, although there were reports of grizzly on hunter elk kills while we were there, which made my partner nervous. The only downside is the fishing in the lake and the river was not good during our stay.

Wonderful spot!

We visited this lodge the beginning of November. It was beautiful. Though it is paramount that one has wood. The lovely building is large and only has a wood stove for heat-there are two fireplaces, though truly gaining radiant warmth is not so beneficial from the fireplaces. I think the forest service needs to sincerely understand -especially in the winter-without warmth one could truly be harmed. Perhaps once the winter season opened the wood situation improved-as in is there enough? where is it (it was obvious without snow, but covered in snow?); we brought an ax, thank goodness there was a maul; hopefully the stove continues to work correctly and safely. If you have the option bring a chainsaw.Hopefully you can find some perfect standing dead trees nearby. I am thrilled this lodge is open for reservations though the price should come with enough wood. Enjoy!! Bring plenty of flashlights and blankets/sleeping bags. It is truly special and spectacular-but cold!

Had a great stay! Should have brought a lantern and slippers for inside.

We were excited to stay at the lodge because we've camped in this area with our kids for years. We knew the lodge was there and we've even used the light that shone from it at night to guide us back to the north end as we've paddled our canoe after dark. However, we were disappointed in the lodge. It must have been a mighty fine place to stay in in it's day, but it is old and dirty and falling apart. It looked like there had been little thought into preparing this place for public reservations. Switch and plug plates had been removed and covered with blanks that were not all uniform, but looked like they were just some old leftovers that happened to be laying around. It was obvious that to patch over those holes in the walls was too much for those in charge. Crazy thing is, with all the former switch and plug plate holes that were covered, there were no covers on the former heating vents in front of the windows in the great room. Those were all bare and probably home to lots and lots of mice. Speaking of mice, on our 2nd day, after being gone all day hiking, we returned and sat on the futon, which was facing the window and that beautiful view of the lake and Square Top Mountain. In doing so, we could smell something just awful. It was something that was dead. I first thought of a mouse, but didn't know where it would be. Down in one of the uncovered vents? In the folds of the black futon, which was uncleaned, filthy from years of use? I didn't want to even think about it. We made dinner on the stove and afterwards, while picking up a frying pan to wash, a mouse jump out of it, scurried across the top and down into a burner hole. We turned on all 4 burners and watched, with a broom, for it to come out. Eventually, it made a short appearance on the bottom side of the stove, only to quickly go back under the stove. (If you want the full review, I've already sent it to you around Aug 18, 2019).

@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!!!
