Steep Ravine Cabins

Although these cabins are bare bones, lacking both water and electricity, they couldn't put you in a better spot for views of the Pacific Ocean. From your cabin, you can enjoy amazing sunsets, possibly whale watching, and access to trails like the cabin's namesake, Steep Ravine Trail.

The cabins are close to the parking lot and restrooms (clean but no showers). To access the parking area, you need to receive the code from the rangers, which you can get once you've made a reservation. The cabin interiors include a built-in table and benches, sleeping platforms (the equivalent of two doubles, one twin, and one child), counter space for food preparation, a wood-burning stove, and a small closet. Firewood for the stove is sold on-site; you'll need to bring your sleeping bag, air mattress, camping stove, cooking gear, lantern, and other supplies. The windows have no coverings but have clips to hang a curtain or sheet if you want privacy.

With the cabins' proximity to Stinson Beach, you can run into town for supplies or a quick bite. If you're looking to get a night away from the camp stove, head south for 15 minutes to Pelican Inn for upscale pub food.

PACKLIST:

• Food for the duration of your stay (you're close to Stinson Beach if you need to replenish supplies)
• Food containers (to keep out pests)
• Basically all camping gear minus tent and stove
• Sleeping pad & sheets (or sleeping bag) for bed

LOCAL ACTIVITIES:
If you're looking for a daytime excursion while you're staying at the cabins, we recommend Matt Davis-Steep Ravine Loop. You can modify this hike by starting at the Steep Ravine trailhead just east of the campground and heading north on the Dipsea, connecting with Matt Davis and rejoining Steep Ravine.
