Cabin Information
- The entire camp has been completely renovated and private baths are in all cabins (toilet, shower, vanity).
- The cabins Sequoia, Godetia, Limosa and Macoma have a queen bed and two single beds in the form of a bunk.
- The cabins Lonicera, Capella and Vanessa have a queen bed and two singles in a sleeping loft.
- The cabins with kitchenettes have a queen bed and two singles in a sleeping loft.
- The kitchenette units are fully equipped with electric range, oven, microwave, dishes, utensils and a refrigerator.
- All accommodations are double occupancy with an additional charge of $21/person per night for each person over two that occupy the room, up to a maximum of four. We cannot allow nor make any exceptions to more than four persons per room for three reasons: (1) The cabins were designed and approved by Mendocino County for occupancy of four; (2) The Fire Marshal will only allow a maximum of four; (3) Our insurance allows only four per room.
The bedroom cabins with bunks are typically rented, on weekends, to various college groups, church retreats and workshops. Thus, Sequoia, Godetia, Limosa and Macoma tend to be in short supply on weekends. The bedroom cabins with lofts and/or kitchenettes (Capella, Vanessa and Lonicera) are more available for weekend use.
