Stay on site with us! There are a fun collection of cabins all with varying degrees of rustic-ness (some have running water, some use shared shower/bathroom buildings). Cabins sleep 4-14 people depending on the cabin. Additionally, there are 8 tent sites throughout the park (not big, but great for one tent each). The cabins and tent sites can be rented through the city on the website which is listed below under the 'view' tab. Cabins are available to the general public on a first come, first serve basis and are not guaranteed to be available last minute. If you plan on staying in a cabin, we recommend booking as early as possible. Those who stay in cabins are welcome to join us for a welcome cookout Friday evening. Please make sure to let us know if you rent a cabin, so we can accommodate enough food and seating. :) More information chrome://external-file/2026%20OJIKETA%20BROCHURE.pdf
