There are 15 deluxe cabins available for rent, and each one sleeps up to 8 people and comes with everything you’ll need to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

At night, build a fire and cook any fish you caught that day and maybe make a couple of s'mores for dessert!

It's not a proper campsite unless there are s'mores being made, right?
