About
Dead Horse Ranch State Park has 8 camping cabins, sleeping up to 6 people. Each one-room log cabin has a bunk bed and a full-size bed, sleeping up to six people. There's no kitchen or bathroom inside - restrooms and showers are a short walk away, and you'll need to bring your own bedding. 6 of the 8 cabins (numbers 3 through 8) allow pets for a $10 fee, limit two; the other 2 don't - ask for a pet-friendly cabin when booking.
Fees
$70/night for this park's 8 camping cabins, plus a $20/night fee if you also pitch a tent alongside the cabin. Plus a $5 non-refundable reservation fee per cabin and a refundable $50 cleaning deposit collected when you book. A $15/night fee applies if you bring a second vehicle, per Arizona State Parks' statewide reservation policy.
Dead Horse Ranch State Park's own cabins page publishes no season, closure, or year-round statement of any kind - a real gap, not an unresearched one. Cabins do have heat and air conditioning per that same page. Call the park directly to confirm winter availability before planning a trip.
