Waterloo Recreation Area maintains several cabin options, including the Southfork Rustic Cabin which requires a quarter-mile hike to access. "We stayed in the Southfork Rustic Cabin at the end of Feb and it was lovely much needed get away. The cabin was semi modern (solar lighting) but only a wood stove for heat. Small kitchen unit with table for eating."

Most cabins include basic furnishings but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Cooking facilities range from simple fire rings outside to small kitchen units with tables. Firewood is typically available for purchase at campground offices or from local vendors near the parks. According to one camper, "The wood that they have for sale is not good, don't buy it; when we were there, a local family very close to the campground was selling much better wood." Grocery stores and supplies can be found in St. Johns, Chelsea, and Howell, depending on which cabin location is selected. Visitors staying at more remote cabins should bring all necessary supplies, as some locations require hiking in and have limited access to stores.
