Third year camping here and it just got better. The addition of the solar lights and the ability to charge things off the solar was amazing. Thank USFS for taking such good care of this cabin!!

The Horse Prairie Cabin is cozy and almost as described. There are 3 bunk beds (6 beds). There is a healthy rodent population with several family members spotted. Left garbage bag out during day and they got into it. The flys were absolutely horrible (we were there in October). I think they hatched with the wood stove going and they’d buzz the ceiling into the night and fall out of the sky onto you. Also, don’t look under the sink. Would also advise bringing cleaning supplies. Pretty obvious not everyone agrees on what clean is. The mop is missing and the floor was disgusting. The wood stove worked pretty good once it was adjusted to keep smoke from coming out the seams of the chimney. Plenty of firewood. No water after September. There was decent cell service with Verizon. Overall, it’s probably pretty typical of Forest Service cabins.

The Solar system and LED lights was an awesome addition to the cabin this year!

Well cared for cabin on a gorgeous prairie. Lots of wildlife to see! Made it almost exactly 0.5 miles from the cabin; the road became impassable due to snow drifts, but the walk up wasn’t bad at all. Definitely want to revisit!
