There's a lodge there with cabins that look decent, camping too I think. That's where we're gonna stay. Nice cabin /fireplace $100.

You might want to call and make reservations now as they have a tendency to bookup quickly. I called this week to try to get a night this weekend to celebrate my wife's and my birthdays and they were booked solid. They also told me that weekends require a 2 night minimum. You can stay Fri and Sat or Sat and Sun, but you have to pay for 2 nights on a weekend. I also checked the Grand Bear Lodge and they start out around $169 per night.

We were planning on doing two nights. Thanks for the heads up. Won't know if we can even go until Oct. 1.
