The Log Cabin

Location
A three-sided shelter, the Log Cabin is located at 3,263 feet on Lowe’s Path, 2.5 miles from the Lowe’s Path trailhead on Route 2. At a lower elevation than the other RMC camps, the Log Cabin is well suited to families with young children and to hikers making a start late in the day.

The Facility
The Log Cabin has overnight room for 10 guests.

Overnight Fees
A caretaker visits on Saturday nights and holidays, and on many other evenings to greet campers and collect fees. Overnight guests must have a means of payment with them: cash or credit card.

Fee Table

Onsite
There are no mattresses available or cooking supplies. The Log Cabin has an outhouse equipped with a composting toilet located approximately 100 yards north along the Log Cabin cut-off. Water is available just outside the cabin. To maintain the purity of the water supply for future campers, the RMC asks that you wash all dishes in the washpit, located between the Log Cabin the outhouse. Please pack out food scraps. Please note that all stoves with liquid fuel are prohibited at RMC camps.

Camping
The Log Cabin is located within a Forest Protection Area. If you plan to camp, be aware that because of unsuitable terrain and vegetation it will be necessary to travel more than one quarter mile away from the camps to find a suitable location. Camping in the alpine zone is strictly prohibited unless there is at least two feet of snowpack.  To protect this fragile area from overuse, U.S. Forest Service backcountry personnel routinely patrol for illegal camping. Please refer to the White Mountain National Forest Home Page for more information about Forest Protection Areas.

Please see the RMC’s general guidelines for further information.
