Eight Mile Guard Station

next

Really like the improvements they have made and are making! Hope they will continue to refurbish or rebuild others in this area

A really great experience for our entire family. A place we could afford with access we needed for all.
It is Not handicapped accessible in the cabin but with accessible campers or RVs can people can be included.
Lots of parking and room to maneuver vehicles. The inaccessible aspects are cement and rock stairs, no bathroom grabbers etc.
There appear to be additional amenities being added. Overall really great experience. Thank you!!!

Beautiful area. Nice buildings. Lots of room everywhere.
Only negative...not handicapped accessible. Lots of steep steps on cabin and rock steps on paths.
Pleasantly surprised to find a tub and hot water for bathing, cleaning. Kitchen has running water that is not potable, but make sure you empty the bucket catching the drain water. Filled our families needs and had lots of pleasant surprises.

What a fantastic place to visit! So beautiful and peaceful. We all really enjoyed our stay. Here are a few things that you may find helpful...

We were the first guests of the season (it appears) and were thankful for the broom and dustpan that were there in the facility because the floor was covered with bugs (mainly in the bathroom). Also, the water pressure was super low so we didn't use the inside toilet but the outhouse wasn't bad at all. There was also a disinfectant spray but that may have been leftover from the last guests so I will bring my own next time.

We were also glad to have:
Paper towels
clorox wipes
flashlights
toilet paper
An axe (plenty of wood was provided but needed to be split)
We cooked with charcoal on the grill but the fire pit also had one of those rollover grates that can be put over the flames once the fire is built. We should have brought a bucket to extinguish the fire and ended up emptying our food cooler in order to do that.

There is one exterior light but it's on the dining hall and doesn't do much for the cabin but it might be helpful if there are tents or RV's down in the parking area.

Air mattresses aren't super comfy but it was nice to be up off the floor in those bunkbeds

This is a fun place to stay and if you're alright with a glamping experience that is closer to camping than not, I highly recommend Eight mile guard station!

It was a great experience overall. Loved the place. A couple of the window blinds were in bad shape, and most of the light bulbs in the bedrooms were burned out. I donated 2 hours of my time weeding the volleyball pit and making it look nice for the next people. Would definitely come again!!

Very nice updates to the property! Nice and clean!
