Year-Round Oski Cabin Stays

Camp Oski is the perfect home base for any fall, winter, or spring stay in the mountains. Whether you plan to fill your days hiking, hitting the slopes, playing in the snow, or relaxing fireside, our 15 cozy winterized cabins are available to be your home away from home. Meals are included in year-round cabin stays. It’s an upgraded camping experience!

About the Year-Round Cabins

Oski’s heated cabins offer coffee makers, microwaves, mini-fridges, a DVD player/TV, and private ensuite bathrooms with showers. Each cabin sleeps up to 6 guests on one queen bed, one bunk bed (2 twin mattresses), and a loft with two mattresses for kids ages eight and up.

E and F cabin circles consist of five cabins surrounding a shared fire pit. The G cabins are arranged in a row and offer beautiful forest views, with a shared fire pit at the end of the row. We provide firewood and s’mores fixings for cozy, warm evening fun.

Units E1, F1, G1, and G2 are ADA-compliant.

Our Location

Approximately 3 hours from the SF Bay Area, we are located just off Hwy. 108 in Pinecrest, CA. Pinecrest is closer to the Bay Area and less crowded than most other Northern California winter destinations; we are just 15 minutes from Dodge Ridge Ski Area!
