About
Three rustic pine-log camper cabins at Green Valley State Park, each with a covered porch, electricity, a microwave, and a dorm-size refrigerator - no indoor water or bathroom; use the shower/restroom building in the campground nearby. Pet policy and wheelchair accessibility aren't listed - call the park to confirm.
Fees
$75.00 per night ($450.00 weekly). Rate is before local and state hotel tax. A damage deposit equal to the nightly rate or $50, whichever is greater, is required for every cabin/yurt rental. (Iowa DNR's own official Cabin and Yurt Rates table, iowadnr.gov, updated February 15, 2026.)
Reservable April 15 through October 15; walk-in access only October 16 through November 15, then closed for winter.
