Lawler Lodge and Alpine Cabins

Lawler Lodge & Lawler Alpine Cabins is a reservation-only group camping location 8 miles north of Idyllwild on Highway 243. Open year-round, the lodge was designed and constructed by the same contractor who built Yosemite Lodge in the Yosemite National Park in 1916. In 1954, the lodge was donated to the county by U.S. Attorney General, Oscar Lawler. Shortly after, 80 acres of the surrounding area was developed to create the Lawler Alpine Cabins.

Lawler Lodge has an annex with bunk rooms, a fireplace, a commercial kitchen and a large deck overlooking the creek. Lawler Alpine has six cabins that can house eight to ten people. It has a commercial kitchen, a community room and stand alone rest rooms and showers. A modest sized field is located nearby, where pickup games of flag-football or soccer or any other activity can be played or conducted.

Lawler Lodge and Lawler Alpine Cabins is an ideal location for any retreat. Two separate groups, accommodating 126 people, can use the park at the same time.
