Log Cabins

There are seven modern, wheelchair-accessible cabins that are electrically heated with two queen-size beds, table and chairs, microwave and small fridge. They also have a beautiful wooden deck at the front for relaxing in the sun. 

There are ten historic cabins with a wood stove, two double beds, table and chairs. 

For the 2012 in-season, please note that campers can no longer pre-book the historic cabins. Please go out to the Chippewa Campground and look at the cabins first before booking your reservation.
