Before you book

• Look at the booking pages for rates: most of these places publish prices only when you choose dates.
• Check pet rules per unit: several allow dogs only in certain trailers, cabins or yurts.
• Plan park time: these stays are outside the park, so allow for the drive to the entrance and the park's entrance fee.
