About each unit

Camping Cabins · sleeps 5

Oahe Downstream Recreation Area's Camping Cabins are simple one-room, log-style cabins sleeping four to five people, furnished with a set of bunk beds, a double bed, and a table with benches. Electricity, heat, and air conditioning are provided, but there's no running water, bathroom, or kitchen inside - bring your own water container, sleeping bag or bedding, cooking gear, a cooler, toiletries, and a flashlight. Outside, each cabin has a fire grate, picnic table, and a covered porch. Some cabins are pet-designated (with an added pet fee); others don't allow pets at all, so ask when booking if you're bringing a dog or cat. Some are also wheelchair-accessible, with an accessible picnic table, porch ramp, and wide doorway - ask when booking if that matters for your stay. Oahe Downstream Recreation Area has 8 of these cabins.

Modern Cabins A & B · sleeps 8

Oahe Downstream's Cabins A and B are two-bedroom units sleeping 8, along the shoreline, with heat, air conditioning, electricity, a kitchen (cookware and utensils provided), and bathroom facilities. Pets are allowed here for a $10 fee - these are the only two of Oahe Downstream's four modern cabins that allow pets.

Modern Cabins C & D · sleeps 4

Oahe Downstream's Cabins C and D are two-bedroom units sleeping four, along the shoreline, with heat, air conditioning, electricity, a kitchen (cookware and utensils provided), and bathroom facilities. No pets are allowed here (unlike the park's Cabins A and B).
