Mom & Mini Cabin Campout FAQs
Is it just one mom/kids per cabin? Yes! Each family will have their own 400 square foot mini cabin at Rocky Rim Resort.
Can I bring more than one child? Yes! Each cabin can sleep up to four, so bring all your kids that fit within our retreat age recommendations.
What’s the sleeping situation like? Each family gets their own fully furnished (yep, they’ve got pack and plays!) mini cabin. See Rocky Rim Resort’s website for full amenities and photos of the cabins.
What’s the cancellation policy? Due to limited cabin availability, all bookings are non-refundable, but spots are transferable if you need to sell or gift your reservation.
Do I need to know other moms to come? Not at all! Many moms attend solo with their littles—we promise a warm, welcoming vibe and plenty of ways to connect casually. You’ll leave with new mom friends!
What are the mini cabins like? You can browse the mini cabins at Rocky Rim Resort on the webpage! Cabins are all slightly different in design and layout but all sleep 4, have two sleeping areas, a full bathroom, kitchen and living area and a porch. See the full amenities of the property on their website.
