Unheated Cabins Twenty unheated cabins are available for rent. These cabins have shutters with screens but do not have glass windows. The bathroom facilities are located a short walk away. Although the cabin doors can be locked, the rustic nature of these cabins precludes security. Portable heaters and kerosene lanterns are not allowed.

Campers must bring their own bedding, cookware, cleaning supplies, tableware, trash bags, soap and first aid supplies. Suitable for a large group -- individual spaces will not be rented separately.
