Reserving a public-use cabin in The Mat-Su is super easy and convenient. Alaska State Parks offers online reservations for all Mat-Su area public-use cabins, as well as spots at popular campgrounds.

The Mat-Su’s public-use cabins are very popular, and often book up months in advance. The newly updated reservation system can be found at reservealaskastateparks.com. Links to that site are also found on the Alaska State Parks website for each individual cabin.

In addition to all the public-use cabins, reservations can also be made online for individual campsites at the Kesugi Ken Campground in Denali State Park and also at the Finger Lake Campground. The online reservation system gives users the option to plan in advance, but walk-ins are still being offered at all campgrounds.

There are 13 public-use cabins located throughout the Nancy Lakes State Recreation Area, three at Byers Lake and three at Kesugi Ken Campground in Denali State Park, and one at Matanuska Glacier.

The cabins are popular in both the summer and winter. Accessibility varies in each location, from drive-up cabins in Denali State Park to cabins you can canoe to in the summer or ski/snowmobile to in the winter in Nancy Lakes.
