About
2 basic, economical camping cabins (Good Boy Cabin, Sheheke Cabin), each a single room sleeping 5 on one full bed plus three twin beds set up bunk-bed style. Air conditioned with a small refrigerator; no kitchen or bathroom is described. Open seasonally - the park's own page doesn't publish exact opening/closing dates. Pets aren't allowed.
Fees
$70-85/night each. Bedding and towels aren't provided, pets aren't allowed, and a 2-night minimum stay applies. Check-in is after 4 pm; check-out is at noon. A separate statewide vehicle entrance permit is required to enter the park ($7/day, or $35/year for a single vehicle) on top of the cabin/yurt rate.
North Dakota Parks and Recreation's own page describes this cabin as open "seasonally" but doesn't publish exact opening/closing dates. Only air conditioning is mentioned for this cabin - no heat source is listed - so it isn't described as a cold-weather option even during whatever window it's open. Call the park to confirm current dates before planning a trip.
