Cabin rentals near Westfir, Oregon are located in the Western Cascades at elevations between 1,100 and 2,500 feet. The area receives moderate rainfall throughout the year with summer temperatures averaging 75-85°F and winter temperatures dropping to 30-40°F. Westfir sits at the junction of the North Fork and Middle Fork of the Willamette River, creating numerous water recreation opportunities for cabin campers.
What to do
Mountain biking trails: Several cabin locations provide access to the Alpine Trail and Middle Fork Trail system. Clark Creek Organization Campground serves as a convenient base for bikers. "Wonderful group camp that can sleep all your friends and relatives! Fun little bunk houses for the kids and a big covered area for cooking and hanging out. Big field for tents, frisbee, drum circles, etc," notes a camper at Clark Creek Organization Campground.
Hot springs access: Cabin rentals within 30 minutes of Westfir offer natural hot springs options. "The hot spring fed pools are so amazing. The hidden garden is something out of a movie. Spots are good size and everything is so well taken care of," reports a visitor at Belknap Hot Springs Lodge and Gardens.
Waterfall hiking: Multiple waterfalls within 45 minutes of Westfir cabins provide day trip options for cabin campers. "There are over 25 waterfalls, Toketee being my favorite. There is white water rafting, fishing and a lot of hiking trails, too much to do and is why I will be back," shared one visitor at Umpqua's Last Resort.
What campers like
All-weather comfort: Cabin accommodations near Westfir provide protection from Oregon's variable weather conditions. "We brought our RV and had no problems with setup or parking. No additional charge for a second vehicle was nice and my children had a blast in the clubhouse," notes a visitor to Dexter Shores RV Park, which offers cabin options alongside RV sites.
Historic lodging options: Forest Service cabins near Westfir include restored fire lookouts and guard stations. "My visit to Musick Guard Station in southwestern Oregon was a truly memorable experience. Nestled in the remote Umpqua National Forest, this historic site offers a fascinating glimpse into Oregon's mining past. Built in 1934 by the Civilian Conservation Corps," explains a camper at Musick Guard Station.
Swimming access: Many cabin locations feature nearby swimming holes or lake access. "There is a great swimming hole right across the street and a good jumping platform just up the road at the next pullout. The hike from the campground up to the butte is great too," mentions a visitor at Clark Creek Organization Campground.
What you should know
Seasonal accessibility: Winter weather can limit access to some cabin locations, especially at higher elevations. "Thankfully we had two sites because on the map, it looked like both sites had a pull through area for cars, but the first one had 'parking' which was just an enlarged shoulder on the narrow road going through the loop which would not have fit a Prius, let alone our two SUVs," notes one camper at Diamond Lake.
Bathroom facility variations: Cabin accommodations range from no facilities to full bathrooms. "This campground has beautiful lake views, access to bathrooms and showers, and ice cream and firewood just a walk or bike ride away! The only complaint I have is there's a lot of mosquitoes," shares a Diamond Lake camper.
Road conditions: Forest roads leading to more remote cabins can be challenging. "We enjoyed this experience with our family of 4 and 2 friends. The drive to get there was a little hectic but worth it. Long gravel roads filled with holes and big rocks. Take your time on the drive, your tires will thank you," advises a Musick Guard Station visitor.
Tips for camping with families
Cabin size considerations: Family groups should check specific cabin capacity limitations before booking. "We had an easy stopover here on the way to Eastern Oregon. I didn't want to use my tanks, so I used their restrooms. They were warm, clean, and well-lit. Walking back and forth from my trailer, I felt safe," reports a visitor at Dexter Shores RV Park.
Mosquito preparation: Summer visitors should bring appropriate insect repellent for comfort. "The mosquitos were fairly tame, the water was pure and clean, other campers kept quiet and to themselves, and the facilities were above our expectations for a state-run campground," shares a Diamond Lake camper.
Group accommodations: Larger family reunions can reserve organization campgrounds with multiple cabins. "This group camp is amazing, so you better book it far in advance. I went here on a church camp out. It is the perfect place for families. The older teens loved sleeping in the shelters, while the parents preferred tents," notes a visitor at Clark Creek Organization Campground.
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategy: RVers with cabin-staying companions should research specific site layouts. "Immaculate landscaped setting. Hosts are super nice and friendly. The whole setting is really well maintained with nice landscaping. A cool creek swimming hole in the forest is very nearby. The sites are a little close together, especially when having campfires," advises a visitor at Umpqua's Last Resort & Oregon Mountain Guides.
Cabin/RV combinations: Mixed groups can book adjacent RV and cabin sites at some locations. "We stayed at this campground over Memorial Day weekend in a C loop single site, and there was no disappointment! No shortage of large, flat spaces of soft ground in campsites all ready for tents," mentions a camper at Diamond Lake.
