Eight Mile Guard Station is located in a beautiful area with nice buildings and ample space for families. Guests enjoyed pleasant surprises like a tub, hot water, and a functional kitchen, making it a great experience overall. However, accessibility is limited due to steep steps, and while improvements are ongoing, the facility currently lacks proper accommodations for handicapped individuals.

Fun times. Prepare for flies if there in the fall. Lots of items in the cabin including pans and silverware. Best equipped of cabins I’ve stayed in. I would stay here again.

We were happy to find the water still on (1st weekend of Oct) and everything well stocked: wood, cleaning supplies, toilet paper, etc. We brought our sleeping pads and bags and food. Excellent for a large group that have RV's to supplement. No nearby cabins so it was quiet. My kids played and played and played. Tons of flies in and outside the cabin--only complaint. We spent a lot of time cleaning fly bodies up.

Nice area. Nice place for a family outing. Would be nice to have a propane fridge but none the less an enjoyable experience.
