Most cabins feature picnic tables for meal preparation, though running water is not available inside the units. Solar-powered lighting provides minimal illumination, with some guests bringing additional string lights for better visibility.

Visitors to forest cabins should bring their own bedding, as mattresses are provided but linens are not. Essential packing items include sleeping bags or sheets, pillows, cooking supplies, flashlights, and additional lighting sources. While propane heaters keep cabins warm, temperatures can fluctuate, so packing layers is advisable. Most cabin locations have vault toilets rather than indoor plumbing, requiring a short walk from the cabin. Food storage containers are recommended to keep supplies organized, as shelf space is limited. Drinking water is not available at all cabin sites, so guests should bring their own or be prepared to filter water from nearby sources. Some cabins are accessible by car while others require walking through snow in winter months, so appropriate footwear and snow gear may be necessary depending on the season.
