Cool area

We really enjoyed our weekend at the Karta River Cabin. The only issue was no firewood and no shed for wood.

Door is falling off the cabin, windows don't work, wood stove door stuck in place and will not close, and the trail up the river is a death trap if you can even see it though the brush. The outhouse is up a hill facing the trail and has NO DOOR! If you don't like people watching, bring a curtain. The cabin itself is beautiful and the scenery is spectacular. We love the area, and we had fun, though we ended up having a lot of people come through looking to use the cabin if we were not there and walking around the camp site. Not worth the money considering the conditions and ZERO privacy literally every day at all hours, but that's me.

Cabin was very good
One window could not be opened due to prior damage.
Wood stove great, about 1.5 bundles of wood needed daily in April but could get by in less. Maul for splitting was provided.
Trail was the major drawback with some blowdown but some effort had been made to remedy.
Fishing was decent but down from
Most years.

I love staying at the Karta wilderness area in any of the cabins. But the karter River cabin could use some major improvements and maintenance.
1. Some maintenance work around the door and the window.
2. The door needs to open to the outside not the inside. That would keep out unwanted wildlife and make it easier to escape in a fire.
3. A roof over the deck would be fantastic. It would allow you to enjoy the outside even on those rainy Southeast Alaska days.
4. More cut firewood would be nice. I am a do-it-yourself kind of guy but when you're paying $45 a night for a one room cabin the extra firewood would feel like money well spent.
I go every year to one of three cabins that you have there and I enjoy my time tremendously. You can't beat the solitude the wild life and atmosphere that the Karta brings. If you could ever bottle up happiness I would label it "Karta in a bottle".
If the u.s. forest service ever got rid of those cabins I would be tremendously heartbroken. Overall the forest service does an excellent job with the cabins but just like America things can be improved. my love and appreciation goes out to all the u.s. forest service workers who keep the Karta, going may it always be that way.

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.
