Cabins near Littlefield, Arizona provide access to the dramatic red rock landscapes of southwestern Utah and the Virgin River valley. The region sits at approximately 2,000-2,500 feet elevation with summer temperatures frequently exceeding 100°F, making climate-controlled accommodations particularly valuable. Rental cabins can serve as convenient basestations for exploring nearby recreation areas including Sand Hollow State Park and Red Cliffs Conservation Area.
What to do
Hiking trails near Red Cliffs: The Red Cliffs Recreation Area offers accessible trails within a 30-minute drive from many cabin accommodations. "There's the Red Cliffs Rec area has beautiful trails and dinosaur tracks," notes one visitor at Leeds RV Park & Motel.
Water recreation: Sand Hollow State Park provides swimming, paddling, and boating opportunities about 30 minutes from Littlefield. "The lake was perfect for swimming, floating, paddle boarding, and kayaking," according to a visitor at Sand Pit Campground.
Off-road adventures: The area is popular for ATVs and UTVs with extensive trail networks. "There are numerous off road trails for Jeeps, buggies, rzrs, dirt bikes... amazing grounds!" reported one camper, adding that "the beach is an easy walk away where there are picnic tables and places to wade in the water."
Zion National Park access: Most cabin locations offer reasonable access to Zion, typically a 30-45 minute drive. "It's only 20min away," comments a visitor at Zion River Resort who preferred "the pace of Virgin over Sugardale" for staying near Zion "without the chaos."
What campers like
Natural shade trees: Despite the desert environment, several properties offer mature trees and landscaping. "Despite being in a desert, the park had lush grass in every spot and a dense tree cover. It was about 10 degrees cooler in the park because of the shade from the trees," mentions a visitor at WillowWind RV Park.
Clean bathroom facilities: Many guests specifically comment on bathroom quality. "Sprawling views and clean accommodations," notes one visitor to McArthur's Temple View RV Resort. Another reviewer described the facilities at Sand Pit Campground as "bathrooms and showers were good. Clean and plenty of hot water."
Swimming pools: Several properties maintain pools to help combat the summer heat. "Nice heated pool area with hot tub. Some areas have nice shade trees and grass areas," observed a returning visitor to Zion River Resort. Another noted the "year round heated pool and hot tub" as a valuable amenity.
On-site recreation: Properties often provide additional recreation facilities beyond cabin accommodations. "Game room, shuffle board putting green, ping pong and work out rooms," lists a McArthur's Temple View visitor.
What you should know
Summer heat considerations: Temperatures regularly exceed 100°F from June through September. "Be sure you have an awning or pop up for shade!" advises a visitor at McArthur's Temple View Resort, who cautions that adequate shade is essential during summer visits.
Water pressure variability: Some properties experience inconsistent utilities. "Only issue we had the 2 days we stayed was low water pressure entire stay. Called the office to see if the pressures could be raised and was told to wait a few minutes and try."
Internet connectivity limitations: Remote locations mean variable connectivity. One reviewer noted at St. George / Hurricane KOA Journey: "The wifi was not very good in our location." Another visitor suggested: "We didn't use the CG WiFi, since cell service was so good."
Site levelness: Some properties have sloped sites requiring adjustment. "The sites are nice level gravel sites. They can accommodate all size rigs and will even store trailer," while another mentioned "We were in a 24ft van and were able to be level without blocks by entering from the wrong way. Larger rigs would have had difficulty because of the slope."
Tips for camping with families
Pool access priority: When booking cabin accommodations with children, prioritize properties with swimming facilities. "The big, beautiful pool and hot tub" mentioned at Zion River Resort provides entertainment for children during hot afternoons when hiking isn't practical.
Playground availability: Some properties offer dedicated play areas. Zion River Resort features a "small playground and dog park," making it suitable for families with both children and pets.
Proximity to town services: Locations closer to St. George provide easier access to supplies and family-friendly restaurants. "The town is very nice with all amenities!" notes a camper about Hurricane, adding "It's also so close to snow canyon, Zion National Park, 2 hours from vagas."
Recreation room access: Indoor facilities provide family entertainment during extreme weather. According to one visitor at Zion West RV Park: "There are tables around the laundry room building to sit at and relax. It's a very quiet campground too which made sitting out in the evening very peaceful."
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategy: RV campers recommend requesting specific sites when booking cabin accommodations. "We were in a riverside back in with full hookups. Very quiet at night," notes a visitor to Zion River Resort who specifically requested a riverside location.
Hookup reliability: Full hookups generally function well but occasionally experience issues. "All the hook ups worked fine and were laid out fine," confirms one camper, while another notes "the strange was it wasn't clear on where to park the tow vehicle, although you will have plenty of room once you figure it out."
Winter accommodations: The area serves as a popular winter destination for longer-term stays. "This campground has a very nice rec center and plenty of activities during the winter months," explains a visitor to McArthur's Temple View, describing it as "designed for Snowbirds."
Noise considerations: Proximity to highways affects some properties. A tent camper at Hurricane KOA noted: "It's right by the highway and you could hear the semi's going by all night."
