Choose from modern cabins at Brown County, Chain O'Lakes, Harmonie, Lincoln, McCormick's Creek, Potato Creek, Shakamak, or Whitewater Memorial state parks. The capacities of the cabins range from four to eight depending on location (see chart below).

Cabins are very popular, so reserve early! Brown County's Abe Martin Lodge accepts reservations for their cabins up to two years in advance. All other parks accept reservations up to one year in advance.

This summer we will be experimenting with a "hot cabins" option. This is a reduced minumum-stay option (instead of a full week) for family cabins after certain dates.

At Chain O'Lakes, Lincoln, McCormick's Creek and Shakamak Family Cabins, a two-night minimum (instead of a full week) will be possible at 14 days prior to arrival date.

At Harmonie, Potato Creek and Whitewater Memorial Family Cabins, a two-night minimum (instead of a full week) will be possible at 90 days prior to arrival date.
