Our experience in staying one night in the cabin was not good. Cabin itself was solid and substantial. NO electricity, although it appeared to once have electric heater and outlets on walls. The big drawback was NO BATHROOM toilet or water. It is difficult for old folks to get up in the middle of the night and walk all the way to the restroom and make it in time. This was a cabin for disabled people too!
The restrooms were run down, no lights. But they were flush toilets and there were 3 cold water sinks. Paying over a $100 per night is crazy for this kind of accomodation.

Didn't realize the cabins were not reserved via recreation.gov like the campsites are. The entire national park was closed because of a wildfire, and the contracted company would not cancel our reservation. We could not cancel it, but could not even enter the park to utilize it.

The cabin is clean and nice. It’s very close to the lake. The lake is great! We enjoyed the kayaking and hiking around the lake. The only downside was the showers were down during our visit.

Great little cabin that was walking distance to Manzanita Lake. Small store sold basics, firewood, and gas. Very nice campground overall!

The cabins are very nice. However, the campground is run down, needing repairs and general maintenance. No propane heat in cabin - heater would not turn on. No lights in bathroom, bathrooms were very dirty, showers out of service, no water supply for dish washing sink, the tire air inflator at gas station was broken. Campground guests were bathing and washing their bodies at the water spigots.
