About
Four rental cabins near Elk Prairie Campground in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park's old-growth redwood forest, each sleeping up to six people, in an area known for its resident Roosevelt elk herd. Cabins aren't listed in the park's own online overnight-facilities summary (which names only tent, hike-and-bike, remote camping, and RV access), but ReserveCalifornia's live booking system confirms these as real, currently bookable units - call the park to confirm details before a trip.
Fees
California State Parks (ReserveCalifornia.com) doesn't publish a specific nightly rate for this cabin on its own page; rates vary by accommodation type and season and are shown when you select dates during booking. A non-refundable $8.25 reservation fee applies per ReserveCalifornia transaction, on top of the nightly rate.
No specific season or year-round statement was found on this park's own page or in ReserveCalifornia's own booking calendar, beyond that this cabin recently showed as bookable. Confirm current availability when booking.
