Cozy Foundations
KRS RV Resort’s cabins sleep up to six guests across two separate bedrooms, and feature a full bathroom, king-sized memory-foam bed in the master suite, and a futon that folds out into a queen in the front living area, complete with its own flatscreen TV and dining table. Stepping into your cabin, you’ll find a fully equipped kitchen with a refrigerator, microwave oven, toaster, crock pot, electric skillet, and coffee pot, everything you need for morning lattes and midnight snacks without trekking back to the Mercantile. Outside, each cabin boasts its own fire pit, BBQ, and seating area, all within a short, easy walk to the legendary Kern River.
DIY Décor Delights
String-Light Canopy - Clip battery-powered fairy lights along the ceiling beams or across your porch rafters. The soft glow instantly elevates that “cabin-in-the-woods” vibe.
Mason Jar Vases - Fill mason jars with wildflowers or faux greenery (picked up at the Mercantile), then line them along windowsills or your picnic table.
Throw-Pillow Mix & Match - Bring along a couple of bright, patterned pillows from home to layer over the existing futon. It’s an easy way to personalize the space without heavy packing.
Creature Comfort Upgrades
Plush Throws & Rugs - Even if the cabin provides a basic RV rug, adding a plush, sherpa-style throw will make movie nights on the futon feel like a living-room retreat.
Portable Coffee Bar - Pack a small caddy with your favorite beans, sugar, creamer, and spoons. When you fire up that cabin coffee pot, it’ll taste like Sunday morning at home.
Scented Diffuser or Candle - Choose a pine or cedar scent to blend with the natural surroundings, creating a spa-like atmosphere right inside your cabin.
Creature-Count Fun
Turn wildlife-watching into a game: tally spotted deer, quail, and curious squirrels during your stay. Pet-owners can bring up to two dogs per cabin (a $25 fee applies)—perfect for counting furballs on four legs. And don’t forget to wave at Happy, the resort’s unofficial camp cat, who loves to pad across porch decks in search of a friendly head scratch.
Whether you’re here for white-water thrills or a lazy river float, these cabin-cozy hacks will make your KRS getaway feel less like camping and more like “home” in the heart of the Kern River Valley. Pack your personality, your favorite comforts, and get ready for a vacation that’s equal parts adventure and hygge.
