Wonderful long weekend visit. The AC was a delight as was the Trinity River. A power outage at 11pm was worrisome, but the local utility got it fixed before 3AM. They were very nice folks too. We had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable too. We will be back

Beautiful location with a rustic cabin. Nice swimming hole across the street and the kitchen has everything you need to cook with.

I have been going to Forest Glen since 1982. Some family members have been going much longer. We are a deer hunting family. Every year camping was an amazing get together at Forest Glen.
I'm saddened for the destruction of the area, by the fires. I'm saddened that the forest service has done very little to clean up the camping areas. Scott's flat is a disaster and ugly. Hells gate campground is tree less, with no shade. Forest Glen campground fared a little better.
But, I love the area, with so many good memories. And the choice to stay at the cabin was perfect this time around. The cabin has everything you need to be comfortable, shower, refrigerator, pots and pans, heater, and AC. Just to name a few.
The river trail is beautiful, once you get past the burn scars. Nice easy day hike.

This was a cute lil cabin loved it but considering the price they should do a weekly or atleast biweekly deep clean on the location. Beds were comfy it was awesome they had some fire wood available but we did have to dig out the fire pit as it was very full. Overall would recommend and stay again
