Most cabin rentals require guests to bring their own bedding, pillows, and towels, though specific requirements vary by location. Cooking facilities range from basic fire pits to full kitchenettes with microwaves and refrigerators. Campers should verify what cooking equipment is provided before arrival, as some locations offer only outdoor cooking options. Firewood is typically available for purchase at campground offices or camp stores. Many cabins have limited storage space, so packing efficiently is recommended. On-site camp stores at locations like Outdoor Adventures and Frankenmuth Jellystone Park stock basic supplies, while larger grocery options can be found in nearby towns for more extensive provisioning needs.
