HOW ARE CAMPSITES EQUIPPED?
Each campsite has a charcoal-burning BBQ grill, a table with benches, a food locker and wood-burning fire pit. Charcoal and firewood are on sale at Little Basin. Many sites will accommodate trailer parking (sorry, no water or power hookups). Some campsites have rustic cabins with two double-bed frames, a single-bed frame, a table, and small storage shelf. There are also additional cabins that accommodate up to 8 people. No mattress or bedding is supplied. Although the cabins do not have electricity or water, all campsites have water nearby. Cabins have door locks. Users are expected to clean and sweep out the cabin prior to leaving (brooms are supplied). Cabins found left in an unacceptable condition may result in having camping privileges revoked. Cabins are reserved on a first-to-call, first-to-reserve basis, with the wheelchair-access cabin the last available cabin.
