Very cool place to crash for the night that is a step above just staying in a tent. We had low expectatations for the building, so it worked great for us. I got myself all spooked by the fact that there are no curtains on the windows, so at night it's really easy for people to see into the building when the lights are on inside. Otherwise the grounds seem to be well maintained.

No problems. Nice mountain trail next to the cabin.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

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!!!
