Regina, Thanks for bringing the one typo about check-out time to our attention. It has been corrected to reflect 11 all the way around. Yes, supplies are kept low in the cabins. At the beginning of the year, they were fully stocked and entire boxes of garbage bags and swiffers would go missing. We make sure campers have what they will need based on the number of people checking in and the length of stay. The camp host number is in the cabin if extras are needed. We are also at the end of our camping season. We're glad you had a good time and enjoyed the cabin and park.
