the cabins are really nice and clean. exactly what you expect. the bathrooms are down a gravel hill and are a little challenging to get to especially if you are on a knee scooter

10/10 experience, camp was pristine as well as the bathrooms, the staff where nice & helpful, and the cabin gave me a very good nights sleep. Fantastic lodging alternative right off i95.

Great stay. Clean cabins. A two-prong outlet for 6 people capacity. Bring a surge protector to expand. Rented two of the many available cabins for seven of us. Had the other 15 join us the next day for breakfast and follow-on discussions. Park staff was very accommodating. We carpooled so only about 10 cars. Filled the parking lot but it worked. Grill worked great for brats the night before and for southwest scrambled eggs (brought our own charcoal and cast iron skillets) in the morning. Great fire pit. Used it the night before. Plenty of fire wood provided by the park, staged at the site. Bathrooms clean with plenty of stalls. Bear boxes to put out trash in. Late Aug. Had the whole of Site A to ourselves.

We had a wonderful visit with 11 Girl Scouts and five adults. It was incredibly easy to bring out bags to the cabins with wagons, to make a fire for activities and cooking, to use the craft hall for meals and to use the sink near the bathroom for washing dishes etc. We look forward to coming back. And are grateful for Ranger Nick helping to orient us and answer all of our questions!

the cabin suited our needs just fine and the email stating the construction showed that communication is taken serious by the NPS.

Cabin was rustic but all we needed. Grounds were beautiful with clean bathrooms and a fire pit shared the other 6 or 7 Camp 3 cabins so we made some friends, which was great. Took away a star because Cabin 3 did not have a grill despite there being one in the photos and the picnic table was at such an angle things slid off and there didn’t seem to be an place to level it out. Must have been some erosion since photos were taken. Luckily, Cabin 4 next door was empty so we ended up using that grill and table which was great. The Visitor Center had very helpful rangers who picked out a beautiful trail perfect to our needs. We will definitely come again!

$120 waisted - we showed up at 7 pm and could not use the cabin, because no one was there for check in... The whole park was completely deserted, no one to ask. It was quite a surprise. We had to book a motel nearby.

there was no one at the camp, so we had to book a motel. We were looking for any sign of life, checked the bathrooms - the cabins were locked and no one at the whole park to ask for help.
On the way back, we didn't even try checking in, booking a motel to avoid the stress.

I've been to cabin camp 3 three times before aside from the year it was closed down. This year I saw no camp host, no wood was provided, previous years it was, trash was left by previous campers in hot coal cans, men's single toilet bathroom handle was broken. Lastly the shower water was ice cold and I can kind of understand why....what i wish was upgraded was the motion sensor light....maybe add an adjustable timer switch. The fire place in the cabin avaliable for everyone was still bored up...has it been 5 years? But the grill on the opposite side was not bored up, so does that mean it was avaliable to use? No notification, no one to ask. Previous years I would rate 8 out of 10....this year I felt like I was staying in an unkempt, abandoned campground. Was a sad experience because I really enjoy the park.

First time visitor. Nice little camp. Beautiful setting. The cabins are solid and classic. Just as described and just as expected. Very comfortable and secure. We went on the last weekend of the season and it was full, but very peaceful and quiet. There were families and couples and everyone was very sedate. I assume in the warmer weather, with later sunlight, it may be a bit more lively. The only thing that was a drawback was the noise of traffic from I-95, specifically the trucks during the night and wee hours. You could hear the diesel engines and the jake brakes. I estimate it's about a mile as the crow flies. I should have realized this ahead of time. Nonetheless, we slept fine and overall it was a very peaceful setting. The only complaint with the park, if you would call it that, was the parking. Somehow, the lot was overflowing when we got there at about 3:30PM. I suppose there was an event going over the limit. The Park Rangers were very accommodating and permitted us to park along the roadside outside of the lot. The staff was generally very welcoming and helpful. Nice park and nearby. However, the nearby part is a drawback if you want to get away from civilization. We probably won't visit again to camp based on the road noise.
