Best Cabin Camping near La Honda, CA

Several forest cabins are available within a short drive of La Honda, California, providing rustic to modern accommodations for overnight stays. Big Basin Redwoods State Park offers tent cabins in the Huckleberry campground with double beds, tables, and wood-burning stoves for heat. "The cabins were nice, and each cabin has 2 double beds, a table, and a wood stove. It can get cold at night in the redwoods so the wood stove was great at night," notes one visitor. Mount Madonna County Park provides tent cabins within its four campground areas, situated among redwoods with clean facilities and hiking trails. Santa Cruz North-Costanoa KOA features cabin rentals with more amenities, including access to bathrooms, fire rings, and picnic tables. The cabins at Cotillion Gardens RV Park in Felton offer a convenient base for exploring nearby Santa Cruz.

Rustic cabins dominate the region's offerings, with most providing basic sleeping platforms rather than full beds with mattresses. Wood-burning stoves serve as the primary heat source in many forest cabins, requiring guests to maintain fires during colder months. "It gets COLD on those winter nights so make sure you have enough wood, are good at keeping fires going throughout the night, and have lots of dry wood," advises a Big Basin visitor. Pet-friendly cabin options exist at several locations, though policies vary by campground. KOA cabin camping provides more family-oriented amenities with activities for children. Reservations are essential, particularly during summer months when availability becomes limited. Most cabins can accommodate 4-6 people, though sleeping arrangements often consist of platforms rather than traditional beds.

Most cabin rentals provide only basic furnishings, requiring visitors to bring their own bedding, pillows, and towels. Some locations offer add-on packages that include sheets, cooking utensils, and lanterns for an additional fee. Cooking facilities vary widely, with some cabins featuring only outdoor fire pits with grill covers while others provide indoor wood stoves suitable for basic cooking. Firewood is typically available for purchase at campground offices or nearby stores. Boulder Creek, approximately 20 miles from Big Basin, offers grocery stores, restaurants, and basic supplies. Visitors should bring flashlights, warm clothing layers, food storage containers, and cooking equipment. Camp stores at larger facilities like KOAs stock essential items, though selection is limited and prices higher than at standard grocery stores.
