Peaceful and pleasant place to stay at! Water in cabin was clean and drinkable, with consistent pressure and heat the entire time. Overhead lights in the cabin are low wattage LEDs, and can be run with only a small battery pack, if you don't want to bring a bulky generator. Beach is only a minute's walk from this cabin, down a sand road, with plenty of wind and waves, birds and fish, and good shelling as well. Do heed the advice to bring bug repellant and long sleeve shirts, the dune flies can be a bit dense until you get out to the ocean side of things. Overall, its a fun adventure to a barrier island, well worth the opportunity to go.

Amazing location- we’re still reeling by the beauty of the area! The volunteers and local ranger were incredibly helpful and welcoming. The cabin was as advertised- we didn’t realize there would be generator hookups (wouldn’t have affected anything but maybe on a longer visit we’d look at one!)
Cannot recommend this gem enough. Already planning another trip back!!!!

I appreciate the efforts NPS puts into CALO. The thing I really miss out there is when they had the old light in the lighthouse. It would really light up your tent at night.

Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. 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.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
Fires & fuel
- Guests should obtain firewood locally and burn it on-site to protect forests; transporting firewood is illegal in some states.
