About
Four Mini Cabins in the Elderberry Loop at Cunningham Falls State Park in the Catoctin Mountains, each sleeping up to six people, named Birch, Dogwood, Ash, and Cedar. Each has electricity and a 30-amp hookup; Maryland Park Service's live booking system doesn't confirm an in-cabin kitchen, bathroom, or heat/AC for these specific units, so treat those as unconfirmed rather than assumed - restrooms and showers are available nearby in the campground. No alcohol is allowed at any of the four. None of the four currently show as pet-friendly or ADA-accessible in the park's live booking system.
Fees
$65.50-$66.50 per night. Taxes and a per-booking reservation fee apply at checkout; Maryland Park Service's own cancellation policy confirms fees apply but doesn't publish one flat figure for a new booking, so no specific fee amount is stated here.
These cabins follow the same seasonal window as Cunningham Falls' Elderberry Loop campsites, roughly April 10 through late October each year (exact dates shift slightly year to year) - closed outside that window. The park's separate Manor Area campsites stay open year-round, but that's a different area from these cabins.
