A camper wrote, "Camping for anyone arriving at anytime. Don't expect the best when arriving late, but most of you will have reservations, right? Then you will have the best." Both locations permit pets in cabin areas, allowing families to bring their dogs along for outdoor adventures.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary between properties, with some offering minimal cooking options while others provide more extensive setups. Showers are available at both Medicine Creek and Prairie Dog State Park, though bathroom cleanliness can vary seasonally. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, "Bathrooms need work or at least someone that cleans them at least daily. The park is nice but the bathrooms are embarrassing." General supplies and groceries are limited at the parks themselves, so cabin guests should plan to bring most provisions or purchase them in Cambridge or Norton before arrival.
