Summary
The Big Trinity Cabin boasts a great location for visitors. However, there are some challenges with the wood supply, as the wood shed collapsed, leaving limited dry wood available. Guests are advised to bring their own tools for gathering firewood from the surrounding area.

We arrived in a torrential rain storm, but the cabin kept us comfortable. Great place! We learned that cooking on the wood stove is not so easy, but it worked. Better cooking over campfire in fire ring.
The nearby pump was inoperable so we had to haul water from another camp ground. Cleaned as best we could without running water. The fish weren’t biting that day but Overall a fun time.. Will bring our own water next time.

We love this spot! We’ve come here twice and it’s always a fun trip. We appreciate the gate that keeps the ATVers at a distance and the stargazing is wonderful. Bring mosquito spray if you visit the lakes :)

Mid September stay. The Cabin was perfect. Cozy and comfortable. It was nice to be in a nice warm dry cabin when we woke up to two inches of fresh snow. My tent camping relatives were not as comfortable!

Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
