A screened-in porch has 640 square feet, bringing the total to 1,562 square feet. Obviously these are not primitive cabins, not inside, not outside. The outside infrastructure includes sidewalks, drainfields, septic tanks and site clearing. When the cabins are built, the Park Service will operate them.
