The layout is 7 sleeping cabins with twin-sized bunk beds, a bathhouse and a main lodge with kitchen and dining facilities. Restroom and shower facilities are only in the bathhouse and exterior lights on buildings are extremely limited. You will need appropriate outdoor winter gear to travel between these safely day or night so we have this list for what you should consider packing.

If you are unsure if there is “room” or “need” for everything you intend to pack, feel free to take a look at the last 3 slides of the virtual tour of Whitewater State Park to get a feel for where you will be staying.
