You park in a pull out then Have to row a boat about 1/2 mile. To the left side of the lake there is no good marking of where the cabin is if you will be coming after dark I would recommend leaving a lantern on on the porch because when the fog comes in its hard to see anything there was plenty of firewood there and I found that the Viking fire logs from the rigin shack work great to get it going also if you have a small outboard bring it with you as there is nowhere to get one there and rowing the boat with deer in it is a pain in the A** over all well worth the money

There are half a dozen boats here with no plugs or oars. Its a run down boat graveyard. User beware

Beautiful and serene. Bring some firewood with you as there was minimal firewood when we arrived. Also the aluminum boat is NOT located at the cabin, its at the sign for Sweetwater Lake Cabin and then you use the boat to row (or bring your own motor) about 600m to the cabin.

I love this spot. The cabin isn't the greatest, and it could use some maintenance and cleaning, it has had a rough life. By far my favorite spot, love camping here, I come back every summer and am never disappointed.

Love the area, it’s beautiful!
The forest is beautiful to walk though and kayaking is fun around the lake. Great area!

Single room, two bunks each with full size bottom single on top. Bring some firewood/Viking logs for wood stove. A small outboard was handy to tour the lake.

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!!!
