White Sulphur Springs Cabin

Our trips are always enjoyable to the White Sulphur cabin. This trip was no different. We tent camped a night at kayaker's cove, which was a first for us. Thank you for all that help maintain the cabin and surrounding area!

The bath house is an amazing work of art. It is beautifully constructed. It is a very special place.

I’m curious if a composting outhouse system has been considered as an alternative to the pit toilet.

You don't have to rent the cabin to use the bathhouse, but I recommend it if you can snag a reservation. There is nothing better than having the bathhouse to yourself for an early morning soak, before the day-users arrive. Tip: pick your dates 6 months in advance - it books up fast! The bathhouse is amazing! The picture window gives a stellar view plus keeps it from being claustrophobic. Tip: the outer pools are natural so bring water shoes if you don't like a mucky bottom. The cabin itself was fine, with a big table and counters. The bunks are single on top and double on bottom, not platform like some cabins. We fit 8 people pretty comfortably, with 2 kids on mats on the floor. Our only real complaint was the holey and/or missing screens - it was unusually hot and the cabin got very stuffy, but the bugs were too bad to open the windows. Tip: bring a roll of screen and duct tape. There's a large fire pit with benches by the bath house, which was less buggy. Tip: instead of cooking on the cabin deck (which overlooks a bog), cook your meals at the firepit for better views and fewer mosquitos. If you can bring yourself to leave the hot springs, there's a pretty trail from the boat moorage to the cabin - bring bells or make noise for the bears. I also recommend bringing a kayak or paddle board to explore the surrounding coves and kelp beds, depending on the seas and your experience level, or just beach comb on the boulder fields and tide pools - so many crabs! Speaking of boulders, getting gear from boat to cabin is tricky with the rocks, so wear sturdy shoes or sandals, not flip flops. At high tide, you can maneuver smaller boats in to the cove, but we still had to kayak the gear onto shore. You can also carry it on the trail from the moorage bay, but that's a pretty long hike. Overall, our experience staying at White Sulfur Hot Springs was fantastic and I would recommend it to anyone seeking a unique, remote camping experience.
