Several state parks and private campgrounds near Welch, Minnesota provide rustic cabins with varying amenities and comfort levels. Whitetail Woods Camper Cabins feature heated interiors with bunk beds that sleep four people, electricity, and built-in storage, but no air conditioning. William O'Brien State Park Campground offers cabins with enclosed porches, bunk beds, tables with benches, and electric heating. Afton State Park Campground includes camper cabins with screened porches and electric heat. According to one visitor at Whitetail Woods, "The cabins are well-built and heated. The wooded cabins have what seems like full-sized mattress bunk beds built into the wall. Each bunk has its own reading light. The storage in this place is amazing."

Cabin rentals range from basic structures to more furnished accommodations, with most requiring advance reservations. Nugget Lake County Park in nearby Wisconsin offers two-room camper cabins with mini-fridges, microwaves, coffeemakers, and futons in addition to bunk beds. Most cabins prohibit indoor cooking, requiring guests to use outdoor fire rings instead. Pet policies vary by location, with St. Croix Bluffs Regional Park not allowing pets at their cabins. Reservation windows typically open 120 days in advance, with weekends booking quickly. One Whitetail Woods visitor noted, "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."

Most forest cabins provide beds with mattresses but require visitors to bring their own bedding, pillows, and towels. Bathroom facilities are typically shared and located near the cabins rather than inside them. Potable water may be shut off during winter months at some locations, requiring guests to bring their own drinking water or access it from central locations like visitor centers. Basic cooking equipment is rarely provided, so campers should pack cooking utensils, coolers, and food storage containers. While some campgrounds have small stores selling firewood and basic supplies, the nearest full grocery stores are located in Red Wing or Hastings, making advance meal planning essential for cabin stays.
