Lake Maria State Park features three secluded camper cabins accessible by short hikes, with one visitor noting, "The cabin itself is very cozy. Two bunks with queen on the bottom and twin on the top to sleep six total." Most cabins prohibit indoor cooking, requiring guests to use outdoor fire rings instead. Reservations are essential, particularly during summer months when availability becomes limited. One reviewer advised, "It's difficult to get reservations, so I recommend trying to start booking 120 days in advance, which is the farthest out you can reserve."

Visitors should bring their own bedding, pillows, and towels as these items are rarely provided in state park cabins. While most cabins have electricity and heat, they typically lack plumbing facilities, with bathrooms and showers located nearby. Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park and Bunker Hills Regional Park both offer cabin accommodations with nearby bathroom facilities. For cooking, guests should pack cookware, utensils, and food storage containers. Some cabins permit the use of slow cookers and coffee makers indoors.
