River Cabin Rental Information and Fees:

There is a rustic cabin onsite that can be rented for either day use or overnight events. The cabin has electricity (solar panels), a wood stove as a heating source and tables and chairs. The maximum occupancy in the cabin is 12 people overnight; 25 during the day. Firewood is included in the rental of the river cabin. Click here for photos of the river cabin.

There is no running water at the group campsite. In the late spring, summer and early fall, groups can access water from the tap behind the Interpretive Centre. In the late fall, winter and early spring, groups are responsible for bringing in their own water from offsite.

Groups are NOT permitted to bring in firewood from offsite. We sell bags of firewood at $10/bag; each bag contains 5-8 pieces wood. Firewood is included in the rental of the river cabin. 

Groups can also book programs from Baxter education staff that are approximately 90 minutes in length.  The cost for one program is $200 per group (maximum 30 youth).  The cost for two programs is $275 per group (maximum 30 youth).
