Outpost Cottage Check-in Guide

Arrival and departure:

Check in is 4:00pm and check out is 10:00am, please respect these times as we need to be able to ensure all cleaning and sanitation is done prior to the next guests arrival. We ask you to fill out an electronic safety waiver before arrival, linked here!
When the waiver is filled out you can go directly to your accommodation after 4pm.

A 4×4 or AWD vehicle is recommended to access our Outpost Cottages
