Best Cabin Camping near Cottonwood, CA

Several rustic cabins and furnished cabin rentals are available within an hour's drive of Cottonwood, California. Manzanita Lake Campground in Lassen Volcanic National Park offers one-room camping cabins equipped with a full-size mattress, table and chairs inside, and a small patio set outside. "We booked a 1 room camping cabin for 2 nights during a hiking trip. It had the feel of camping but also some amenities of a cabin," notes Ashley A., a recent visitor. Each cabin site includes a large bear box, fire ring, and picnic table. Post Creek Guard Station in Weaverville provides a more isolated cabin experience with basic amenities, while Mill Creek Resort features cabins with electricity, running water, and more comprehensive furnishings.

Pet-friendly cabins can be found at several locations, with Old Lewiston Bridge RV Resort and Antlers RV Park and Campground both welcoming dogs. Trinity River Adventure Inn offers three distinct cabin styles: a large A-frame cabin for groups, a smaller fisherman's cabin for one or two people, and a mid-size cabin for groups of 3-4. The more upscale cabins include full kitchens, comfortable living rooms, bedrooms with provided bedding and towels, satellite TV, and WiFi. Wood-burning stoves with supplied firewood provide heat during cooler months. Trinity Lake KOA Holiday also offers cabin rentals with varying amenities and proximity to lake activities.

Most basic cabins require guests to bring their own bedding, towels, and cooking equipment. The more deluxe cabin options typically provide these items, though specific provisions vary by location. Camp stores at Manzanita Lake and Mill Creek Resort offer limited groceries, ice, and firewood, though prices tend to be higher than in town. For longer stays, stocking up on supplies in Redding (about 30 minutes from several cabin locations) is recommended. Cabins with kitchens generally include basic cookware and utensils, while more rustic options may only provide outdoor fire rings or grills for cooking. Reservations are essential during summer months, with many locations booking up weeks or months in advance.
