But all adventurers need a place to stay, and some of these parks are kinda secluded. Thankfully there are options for cabin rentals within these state parks which can ensure that your stay is comfortable and convenient for all of your outdoor adventures. Before I talk about the state parks, it’s important to go over some of the nitty gritty things to ensure that you’re well informed on what you need to know about cabin rentals in Oregon state parks.

What To Know

Reservations

You must make a reservation to get a cabin. All reservations are made through either the website oregonstateparks.reserveamerica.com or by calling 800-452-5687. Cabin rentals in Oregon state parks are very popular, so you will want to make your reservation as soon as you know when you will be traveling. Especially when some of these parks only have a handful of cabins.

Rates

The price of renting a rustic cabin in Oregon state parks ranges between $42 and $62 per night and $81-$99 per night for a deluxe cabin. Now you may be wondering, what’s the difference?
