Cabins Fees

The Rent-a-Camp fee for cabins is IN ADDITION TO the camping and utility fee. The Rent-a-Camp fee required to reserve a cabin site, for each cabin, will be the applicable first nights cabin rental, camping and utility fees, in addition to the $5 per campsite non-refundable reservation fee. These fees must be confirmed by the site before the reservation is final. The site will mail a confirmation notice to the person making the reservation. The primitive, two-room cabins are equipped with only the bare essentials: one full-sized bed with mattress, two sets of bunk beds with mattresses, an electric heater, a drop-leaf table with chairs, and ceiling fans. Many cabins are handicapped accessible and can be approached via vehicle. Showers, electricity, charcoal grills and picnic tables are available at the campgrounds; however, campers must bring their own bed linens and personal items. Dogs and other pets are not allowed inside the cabins.  *Note: Siloam Springs' cabin rents for the large tent fee on a first come first served basis, reservations are not accepted.
