What to Bring
You will want to bring bedding/sleeping bag, pillows, food, water, wash cloths, and garbage bags. We are a pack-in, pack-out experience with a long-standing tradition of leaving the cabin better than you found it, inside and out. Please triple check you gathered all of your belongings and food (including spices, condiments, coffee) before you leave. There is a Yonder Yurt dumpster located at our office near the park entrance where you can dispose of your trash. Any littering around the yurt and in the State Forest SP will result in a fine.
What's NOT included
There are no showers or running water at this location. Guests should plan to bring their own potable water for drinking and cooking. Alternatively guests can utilize the fill up stations located near North Michigan Reservoir. During winter months, water can be supplied by snowmelt and filtered. Guests will need to bring their own filtration systems. There is no wifi and very limited cell service at this location. This offers a great opportunity to unplug and enjoy the outdoors but we highly recommend bringing a Satellite phone, two-way radio, or Personal Locator Beacon in case of emergency.
