MAIN CABIN BUNK HOUSE
has fifteen mattresses with six of them in two lofts. Bunks rent individually, hostel style. Attached to the main cabin common area where meals are served and guests and hikers spend time relaxing. Some heat during day but not at night. You may be surprised at how warm you stay in your sleeping bag, but if cool nights are not for you then summer is your best option.
UPPER CABIN
This separate cabin rents as a unit. Bunkbeds and futon. 2 x double, 6 x single, 1 x futon (can be double). There is a wood stove for heat but we ask for your help in conserving the wood which we have available. If you are cooking your own meals you will need your own cookstove, untensils, pots, and carry out your own waste.
LEAN-TO SHELTER (aka; A-Frames, Adirondack shelters)
We have three lean-to shelters. Raised off the ground and enclosed on three sides; the lean-to shelters are open air yet wind-proof and dry. Equipped with mattresses, they sleep three adults comfortably.
Please do not confuse our shelters with the A-Frame shelter located at timberline. That structure is also available for camping but is NOT part of Barr Camp.
