MADISON — The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will begin accepting 2024 reservations for accessible cabins at Wisconsin state park properties the morning of Wednesday, Jan. 10.

Applications can be mailed or dropped off at the state park, forest or recreational area individuals wish to reserve. Mailed applications must have a postmark of Jan. 10, 2024 or later to be accepted.

Wisconsin state park properties offer 10 accessible cabins to expand access to the outdoors. These cabins are available only to people with disabilities and their guests and must be reserved ahead of time. In general, the cabins are available from May to October every year.

Reservations fill up fast, so applicants are encouraged to fill out the application and prepare to mail it or drop it off at the state park, forest or recreational area of their choice on Wednesday, Jan. 10.

Reservations can also be made during the camping season, based on availability, by calling the property. Due to the high demand, reservations will not be accepted for more than four consecutive nights and no more than four nights per year.
