"Outback" and "Outback Too"

Our "Upscale-Camping" Cabins


New in Summer 2009! Introducing "Instant Real Camping" at the Lodge. Read below.


Outback: Our original "upscale-camping" unit (for updated photos Click Here ). Outback is a small 8' x 12' cabin just a couple of steps from the main lodge building. This unit is fully carpeted and contains a double bed (all linens, etc. provided), sink with hot and cold water, spaceheater. As do all our rooms, Outback has a minirefrigerator, microwave, toaster, and coffeemaker. Outback occupants will have access to a small bathroom inside the lodge (shared with Outback Too - see below). This bathroom has a commode and hot-water sink, but it is important to recognize that there is no shower. Pay showers are readily available at the Three Rivers Resort just two miles away. $1 will clean you up nicely. Outback can accommodate a maximum of 2 people.

Outback Too. This cabin is approximately 12' x 12', the increased size allowing for a queen bed.(Click thumbnail at left for larger photos). Like Outback, this unit has a hot-water sink, spaceheater, as well as a minirefrigerator, microwave, toaster, and coffeemaker. Outback Too occupants will share a small bathroom inside the lodge with the other Outback cabin occupants. This bathroom has a commode and hot-water sink, but no shower. As noted above, pay showers are readily available at the Three Rivers Resort just two miles away. $1 will clean you up nicely. Outback Too can accommodate a maximum of 2 people.

Tentsites" (For more photos, click on the tentsite image.) Would you like to go camping without packing all the gear? We've set up a 2 private tentsites for "instant camping". We provide the tent, sleeping bags/pillows/bag liners/sleeping pads, firepit with grill, covered picnic table, water source, and a complimentary "S'mores" kit. All you'll need to bring is your own lantern, cooking utensils, firewood, food, and a way to cook it. Campers will have use of a bathroom (no shower) inside the lodge (approx 100 ft away). Breakfast is not included in the rate, but morning coffee in the lodge is complimentary. Kindling, but not firewood, is provided. Couples or two people traveling together only.. Pets may be brought but only after consulting with us. Weather permitting, the 2010 tenting season will extend from Memorial Day weekend to Oct 02. Call if you're unsure.

The Outback/Tentsite Season
Outback II is open approximately April 1-Sept 30, while Outback I and the Tentsite are open approximately May 1-Sept 30 (check the onlne booking calendar for precise dates). The cabins offer some of the roughing-it features of camping while at the same time permitting access to such niceties as a real bathroom and sink. The Outback cabins can also provide sleeping space for members of larger groups or families. In this configuration, the family members relegated to Outback can shower in a room rented by another family member.
