Best Cabin Camping near Soda Springs, CA
Rustic cabins in redwood settings provide shelter for visitors to the Mendocino coast. Pine Mountain Lookout offers primitive accommodations with basic cots, bunkbeds, table and chairs, while Hendy Woods State Park Campground includes cabin options within the Virginia redwood forest. Most cabin sites include picnic tables, fire pits, and access to communal bathrooms and showers. Cabins at Mendocino Redwoods RV Resort feature heating systems, particularly valuable during colder coastal nights. Sportsmans RV Park and Dolphin Isle Marina & RV Park offer cabin rentals with electric hookups and water access. "The basic cabin was just that, but spacious and the heaters worked very well," noted one visitor about the Manchester Beach KOA cabins.
Reservations are essential for most cabin accommodations, particularly during summer months when coastal parks reach capacity. Pet policies vary by location—Pine Mountain Lookout allows pets, while Moonlight Creek Ranch cabins prohibit them. Jughandle Creek Farm cabins provide electric hookups and picnic tables in a quieter setting. Basic cabins typically feature simple wooden structures with minimal furnishings, while deluxe options may include private bathrooms and kitchen facilities. One camper shared their experience at Mendocino Redwoods: "We rented a small cabin for the night. It was clean and welcoming. We only stayed one night but will come back again and again."
Most cabins require visitors to bring their own bedding, pillows, and toiletries. According to a visitor at Manchester Beach KOA, "The cabins have heaters which is definitely nice. They also have beds, but the beds are really uncomfortable, it's just a pad on top of a slat wood frame, remember to bring a foam topper." Kitchen facilities vary widely—some locations offer nothing beyond a fire pit with grill, while others provide communal cooking areas. Several campgrounds sell firewood on-site, though prices range from $6-8 per bundle. The Mendocino coast region experiences cold nights even during summer months, so extra blankets are recommended regardless of season.
