Cabin was fully stocked! Had dishes, utensils, pots and pans, toilet paper, a propane stove, and lots of puzzles/board games. Lantern wasnt working so bring your own if you want light.

We had a wonderful time in early January. Snow wasn't deep, so we were able to chain up and drive all the way in. Views are fabulous. The cabin itself is cozy and clean. Plenty of firewood. There were kitchen basics - pots and pans, silverware, mugs - which was handy. Lots of puzzles and games too.

@KatherineFC652 · Camped on Dec 28, 2023 at Campsite #1

Such a fun cabin. Plenty of cups, paper plates and untensils. Propane lantern just needs propane, and there were lots of games. Beautiful views and hiking.

Absolutely stunning views. Road gets rough in the last 11 miles, we made it in a front wheel drive vehicle, but only because it was dry. If it was snowy, 4WD or AWD would have been the only option. Cabin is well kept with tons of room to sleep. We loved it and will definitely be back!

Always a favorite- only complaint is how booked it is but I think that speaks to how incredible this cabin is. I hope all "bookers" enjoy their stay and that this cabin stays available for all folks that continue to enjoy it

Wonderful, cabin. Lots of beds, and stayed plenty warm with the wood stove. Will be back.

The Porcupine Cabin is awesome! Plenty of firewood and the cabin holds heat really well! No mice were spotted. Bring your own propane if you want to use the 2-burner stove. We had a great time! The road getting there was pretty rough after the first snow of the year.

Beautiful location! We were asked to leave due to weather and flooding in the area but we are already booking our next trip. Great area for kids to play. Clean and comfortable!

The Porcupine Cabin is a large cabin in a nice area. The cabin has 3 rooms and a nice wood stove. The cabin is fairly well sealed, but there are some mice in the walls and attic and the occasional mouse that will run across the floor at night, so keep your food and trash well stored. The cabin has a large lovely porch. There is no reliable water source nearby, so bring plenty of water. Bears frequent the area, so don't leave any food or attractants unattended. Lots of interesting owls swoop around the area at dusk.

Awesome place to stay in any weather. The year round beauty is majestic no matter the season. It’s easy to sleep peacefully and the old fashion wood burning stove keeps you toasty cozy through the night. Many Thanks to Rangers and volunteers who keep our heritage history alive for future generations to enjoy! Sincerely Ashley Gorman Lord willing I’ll be back again next year.

cannot give a review for any part of cabin because of an untimely covid scare. We were disappointed to miss this trip to the Crazies. We wiil try at another time for a stay here.

@LisaR342 · Camped on Apr 4, 2021 at Campsite #1

Great views. Lots of hiking to do and campfires in the sunset!

This is a fantastic cabin. We traveled on January 11 and were able to drive to the cabin, however it snowed overnight and it would have been tougher to drive by the 12th. There are beds for 8 people in two bedrooms. Lots of wood storage in the cabin. The splitting maul was broken in the wood shed, but we were able to make do. Great outdoor fire pit area. Indoor wood stove kept us toasty warm all night. Be sure to bring extra TP! The vault toilet ran out, so we left our extra TP for the next guests. There are a few pots for boiling water/humidification, but you'll need to bring your cooking supplies.

Wonderful, spacious cabin with hiking trails right out the door. The pit toilet was nicer and cleaner than many at other cabins we've visited.

@adamh260 · Camped on Oct 1, 2019 at Campsite #1

Was cold and snowy. After a slight cleaning & getting some kindling we had the cabin comfortable.

@JesseH824 · Camped on Sep 22, 2019 at Campsite #1

Great Cabin! Road isn't too bad out there, narrow, but manageable in a crossover suv or smaller vehicle. The road was dry at the time, so not sure how it would be with snow, rain, mud, etc. Great size cabin, warm wood fire stove, nice vault toilet just outside the door. There is also a nice hiking trail outside the door, uphill for a quarter mile and then gets a little easier.

Porcupine Cabin is a wonderful place to take in the natural beauty of Montana. Whether for hunting as my party and I did, or snowshoeing, cross country skiing, mountain biking, or hiking the trails. My party and I came from the east coast and west coast to archery hunt for elk, as out of state hunters it is very expensive to purchase a Montana hunting license and travel with hunting gear across the country. After doing so, we were met with closed trails and every trail accessible from the cabin had been regraded, torn apart by dirt bikes, add a few downpours, and that made for a very expensive and absolutely worthless hunting trip. The cabin itself is rustic, comfortable, and well maintained.

all went as expected. Mice and rats were surprisingly in low numbers. Cabin was cleaned and in great shape. There was a lot of maintenance that we didnt anticipate but worked around it. The only surprise or negative was not having wood available. It turned cold and needed fire most of the time. We managed but might want to reconsider the date for allowing the use of the stored wood.

@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!!!
