About Mammoth Cabin

The Mammoth Guard station is located at 8,600 feet in elevation. There are two cabins on the grounds. The Mammoth Cabin was built on site while the Lake Cabin was moved to the site from its original location in the 1980s. Both cabins were constructed in the 1930s serving as forest ranger and fire crew dwellings for many years. The cabins overlook a wide expanse of sagebrush valleys with timbered slopes and ridgelines. The grounds that cabins are located is also an active administrative site. Visitors can expect to see Forest Service personnel using the grounds adjacent to the cabins. Travel Trailers and RVs are not permitted at this facility. If others are seeking to be close to your group during your reservation they should look at the nearby campgrounds at Gooseberry Group Campground and Gooseberry Reservoir.

Overall the stay was good, but this location should have a gate installed as many random people will drive into your camp throughout your stay. The cabins are both nice, but keep in mind it's a pair of cabins and lacks the seclusion of other cabin options in UT and WY.

There was a major rodent problem. Mice droppings everywhere in the cabin. We saw 2 mice the first night. We went in to town the next morning and purchased 4 traps. We set them that night and caught 4 mice. There were still more. Very gross and won’t stay again.
