Each tipi accommodates six to eight people. Some concessions have been made for comfort, including replacing the packed earth of the traditional dwelling with a wooden floor. On the opposite end of the spectrum are the 21 housekeeping cabins with fully equipped kitchenettes and bathrooms. Linens are provided. Some are heated and air-conditioned, and a few have fireplaces to add ambience to a cool spring or fall evening.
Some cabins are available year-round.
In between are the camper cabins that offer another option for those who want many of the modern conveniences of a cabin but are on a tighter budget. Camper cabins are grouped around central shower-latrine buildings, with four to six units in each pod. Platte River's 31 camper cabins are equipped with refrigerators, fire grates for outdoor cooking and picnic tables. Linens are provided. Because of the rugged terrain and limited space, there are no camping facilities at Platte River, but tent and RV campers will find facilities at Louisville State Recreation Area just a few minutes away, an easy commute from the park's many activities.
