At McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park, in the Shasta Cascade, California State Parks has 24 family-style cabins. The comfortable cabins are located adjacent to the 129-foot waterfall that Teddy Roosevelt called one of the wonders of the world.
The innovative cabins offer first-time visitors the opportunity to try outdoor camping. The heated and insulated cabins encourage visitors to camp year-round. For senior citizens and disabled people, the accessible accommodations are ideal.
