Reservations are essential, particularly during summer months and weekends. One reviewer described their experience: "We both rented camper cabins. Our family was in Gabbro and their family was in Shale. The two cabins were separated by 20 feet of forest connected by a footpath through the trees."

Most cabin rentals provide beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, pillows, and sleeping bags. Cooking facilities vary significantly between locations, from simple fire rings with grills to cabins with mini-kitchens containing refrigerators, stoves, and microwaves. Bathrooms are typically located outside the cabins in shared facilities, though some private cabins include full bathrooms with showers. Visitors should bring drinking water containers if staying at cabins without running water. Firewood is available for purchase at most locations, and picnic tables are standard at cabin sites.
