The cabin was clean and the restrooms were clean. Bobby of BLM does a great job of maintaining each cabin and making sure your stay is comfortable. The only gripe I have was that the door wasn’t a screen door and wouldn’t stay latched.

These are great. We slept 4 people in it and had lots of room. You could probably fit 10 or more.

Ranger Bobby was incredibly helpful and pleasant. And I watched him go the extra mile with campers and campsites. He even was cleaning the pit toilets with joy ! He knew every detail of the river and provided us his own map when ours failed to arrive.

We were real
Happy to have some space reserved to get ready for our trip. The bugs were not a problem, but we all knew it would have been a life saver if we needed it.
