    Several cabin options near Ault, Colorado provide comfortable accommodations for visitors exploring the region. Fort Collins Lakeside KOA offers deluxe cabins with electricity, indoor lighting, and private patios, while South Bay Campground at Horsetooth Reservoir features lakeside cabins with water views. Fort Collins North-Wellington KOA provides basic cabin rentals with picnic tables and fire rings outside each unit. Most cabins include raised sleeping platforms with mattresses, electrical outlets, and heating options for cooler weather. "This was my first time staying at a KOA campground and I was blown away by the amenities offered here," noted one visitor about the Fort Collins Lakeside location.

    Cabin styles vary significantly across the region's campgrounds. Terry Bison Ranch in nearby Cheyenne offers rustic cabins with basic amenities, while Estes Park KOA provides more upscale options with private decks. Most locations require advance reservations, especially during summer months when availability becomes limited. Pet policies differ between properties—some prohibit pets entirely in cabin accommodations while others welcome them for an additional fee. One camper shared, "We stayed in spot S18 for 2 nights. Large gravel pull through spot, with a picnic table and fire pit. Some trees around this site providing shade on both sides."

    Visitors should plan to bring their own bedding, pillows, and towels as most cabins provide only bare mattresses. Kitchen facilities range from simple fire rings with cooking grates to cabins with small refrigerators and microwaves. The Fort Collins Lakeside KOA includes a camp store selling basic supplies, firewood, and snacks. Curt Gowdy State Park Campground offers cabins with electricity but limited amenities, requiring more self-sufficiency from guests. Nearby general stores in Wellington and Fort Collins provide additional groceries and camping supplies for longer stays. Firewood is available for purchase at most cabin locations, though fire restrictions may apply during dry periods.

      Hermits Hollow Campground — Hermit Park

      Hermits Hollow

      From a Sprinters point of view.

      Sites are $45.00 a day plus parking

      Sites were sloped, we took the flattest one we could find and it took 6” to block our van level.

      Pit toilets were very clean.

      Sites had trees and boulders, spaced roughly 50’ apart, but there visible traffic on the main road below.

      It was a nice campground but we liked the Bobcat Campground a couple miles farther up the road.

      See separate review.

      Bobcat Campground — Hermit Park

      Bobcat Campground

      We took our Sprinter for its maiden voyage, this camp ground was beautiful, private and secluded.

      Camping was $45.00 a day plus a parking fee.

      Paid at the entry point to an extremely friendly attendant. Reservations can be made on line ahead of time and highly recommended in peak season, especially on weekends.

      Site were 50’ to 100’ apart.

      Sites were wooded and tucked into granite boulders.

      In the 24 hours we were there we saw one car and two people walking their dogs.

      Sites were pretty level, each with fire pits and picnic tables.

      The pit toilets were very clean and with in 100’ of most sites.

      Road in had signs stating you had to be in four wheel drive to avoid damaging the roads but they were very well graded.

      I really enjoy this place, I’ve lived here for about 5 months and the staff are great and I like everyone who stays as well!

      Riverview RV Park & Campground

      Okay but…

      We were here for 2 weeks and were rather disappointed.
      The South 40 full-hookup sites had the worst sewer smell that I’ve experienced. No, it was not from our tank, it would come around the same time every morning and linger for a couple hours. The water pressure was unreliable to say the least, even when they were only at half capacity in the park. Nevermind the holiday weekend when the park is at max capacity…

      We did like the trail around the park and the fenced in dog area, but overall the park was very dirty and dusty and the sites were in desperate need of a mow

      A-Lodge Boulder - Hostel

      Close to Boulder but far from the rat race

      When I lived in Boulder, I rode my bike past here all the time and never knew it was here. While there is some noise from the road, it’s a great setting, well maintained and well organized. This will be our new place to stay when we come to town. Three van spots, areas for tents and lots of lodge rooms.

      Flatiron Reservoir Campground

      Cute little family campground

      Bathrooms, water spigots and power. Pretty good little campground. Nice views. A little close to the main road so some road nose. No cell for us but we have SL.

      Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Estes Park

      NOT SAFE for large RV's

      **Site#98 is NOT Safe for Large RVs** 

      We stayed at Jellystone Park Estes Park for three nights in site#98 with our 36-foot fifth wheel. We paid$325.50 for our stay and left with expensive damage to our truck because, in my opinion, this site should never be assigned to an RV of this size. 

      Site#98 is located on a hill and requires a very tight left turn from a one-way road, with a drop-off on one side and a large boulder retaining wall on the other. When an employee escorted us to the site, he immediately told us it was a difficult site for big fifth wheels and even said another camper had ripped off his fender trying to back into it. 

      My husband is very experienced backing our fifth wheel, and after several attempts with direction from the campground employee, he was able to get us into the site. Unfortunately, getting OUT was even worse. 

      When we left, my husband had to swing the truck as far to the right as possible to keep the fifth wheel tires from going off the drop-off on the left. At one point, half of our left-side tires were hanging off the edge. While I was outside watching the tires and trying to help navigate this extremely precarious situation, the truck caught one of the boulders from the retaining wall on the right, which became wedged underneath our running board. 

      We then had to JACK UP OUR TRUCK—with our 36-foot fifth wheel still attached and sitting dangerously close to the edge of a hill—just to get the truck off the boulder. 

      What makes this situation especially frustrating is what happened afterward. A very kind campground employee who came to help us expressed his own frustration that they continue putting large RVs in this site. He explained that after the cabins across the road were installed, along with the retaining wall, there was no longer enough room for big RVs to safely pull out of site#98. 

      While I waited to speak with the manager, a THIRD employee also acknowledged to me that they have had issues with this site. 

      Yet when the manager finally came to speak with us, she claimed she had NO knowledge of site#98 being a problem and told us they allow RVs up to 38 feet in it. When I told her they should not be putting RVs that large in this site, her response was,**“It’s 2026 and they can’t tell people what they can put in a site.”** 

      That response was unbelievable to me. A campground absolutely can—and should—determine what size RV can safely fit into and maneuver through a particular site. 

      Three separate employees either warned us about this site or acknowledged problems with it, including one who specifically said there is no longer enough room for large RVs to pull out after the cabins and retaining wall were added. Yet management continues allowing RVs up to 38 feet in the site. 

      We were offered no solution for the damage to our truck, and management took no accountability for continuing to place large RVs in a site their own employees acknowledge has had problems. 

      We paid$325.50 for three nights and walked away with a damaged truck and an incredibly stressful—and potentially dangerous—experience. 

      We will NEVER stay at this campground again. If you have a fifth wheel or RV over 30 feet, I would strongly recommend staying elsewhere and specifically avoiding**site#98**. 

      Campgrounds have a responsibility to assign rigs to sites they can safely enter AND exit. Based on our experience, Jellystone Estes Park failed to do that.

    Guide to Ault

    Cabin accommodations near Ault, Colorado provide convenient access to both Colorado's high plains and the foothills of the Rocky Mountains at elevations ranging from 4,900 to 7,500 feet. Located in Weld County, the region experiences warm summer days with temperatures often dropping significantly at night, even in July and August. Most cabin camping options lie within a 40-mile radius of Ault, creating good starting points for day trips.

    What to do

    **Fishing opportunities: **At Flatiron Reservoir Campground, visitors can fish from the reservoir shoreline or use the handicap accessible fishing dock. One visitor noted, "We saw a deer, an eagle and many geese" while staying at this quiet campground. Swimming and boating aren't permitted on this reservoir, but fishing is popular year-round.

    Wildlife viewing: The Riverview RV Park & Campground offers excellent wildlife spotting opportunities along the Big Thompson River. A camper shared, "Nearly every day a deer would come munch on the greenery right behind our rig." The riverside location creates a natural corridor for wildlife movement, particularly at dawn and dusk.

    Mountain exploration: Cabin accommodations provide convenient access to Rocky Mountain National Park, approximately 35-45 minutes from several cabin rental locations. A visitor to Riverview noted, "The campground is about 35 minutes from Estes Park and the Rocky Mountain National Forest, two excellent destinations for anyone coming for a vacation." Many cabin renters use these accommodations as base camps for day trips into the mountains.

    What campers like

    Natural water features: The South Shore Campground at Carter Lake offers cabins with lake views that many visitors appreciate. "This camp ground has the best view! We have camped in Colorado for over 15 years. By far the campsites with the best views! And you can rent cabins too," reported one camper. Water access is a significant draw for many visitors staying in cabins near Ault.

    Seasonal variety: The region's cabin rentals operate in diverse weather conditions, with many open year-round. A winter visitor to Carter Lake shared, "We made this our first outing in April. Glad they open for the season as early as they do." Spring cabin rentals often feature wildlife viewing opportunities as animals become more active after winter.

    Proximity to amenities: Most cabin camping options near Ault balance natural settings with accessibility to services. A visitor to Curt Gowdy State Park Campground mentioned, "The park has plenty of vault toilets spread throughout, and the main visitor building has access to indoor bathrooms, a water fountain for filling personal bottles, a vending machine with a few soda options, and showers." This accessibility proves especially valuable during extended stays.

    What you should know

    Reservation requirements: Most cabin facilities require advance booking, with demand highest from May through September. A visitor to Terry Bison Ranch advised, "Dusty but that was pretty much only bad thing, campsite close to each other but thanks goodness for friendly neighbors." Many locations open reservation systems 6-12 months in advance.

    Weather considerations: The region experiences significant temperature fluctuations, particularly in spring and fall. A Curt Gowdy visitor reported, "During a sudden snowstorm that caused I-80 to close, we thought our propane might run out, and weren't able to refill on propane because of road closure. We were able to move to an electric site for an extra $10." Always check weather forecasts before cabin trips.

    Amenity variations: Cabin facilities differ significantly in what they provide. At Curt Gowdy, one camper mentioned, "There are water spouts (although they were turned off during our visit)." Verify which amenities will be available during your specific visit dates and pack accordingly.

    Tips for camping with families

    Activity planning: Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Estes Park offers extensive children's activities that complement cabin accommodations. One family noted, "The facility offered tons of activities for the kids and they wore themselves out daily to the point of falling asleep while eating dinner." Plan daily activities that match your children's energy levels and interests.

    Cabin selection: For families, selecting the right cabin size and location significantly impacts experience. At Jellystone, a visitor observed, "Some sites would be a fairly long walk to the activities, but it is a very nice campground." Request cabins closer to bathrooms and play areas when traveling with young children.

    Educational opportunities: Incorporate learning into family cabin stays. Many visitors report wildlife sightings and natural discovery opportunities. At Riverview, a visitor mentioned, "My wife and I spent a week here. We enjoyed seeing the kids playing in the playground and riding around the park on their bikes." Look for ranger programs at state parks or scheduled activities at private campgrounds.

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection considerations: When bringing an RV to cabin camping areas, carefully review site specifications. At Fort Collins North-Wellington KOA, one RVer advised, "It's near a ranch, so there are some animal smells and quite a few flies. Try to get one of the spots closer to the playground side as they seem better maintained."

    Seasonal readiness: RVers staying at cabins often share essential areas like dump stations. A visitor to Fort Collins North-Wellington KOA mentioned, "This KOA is also one with long term/monthly residents but I will say the office, laundry and bathrooms were absolutely spotless!" Check which facilities remain operational during shoulder seasons.

    Access considerations: Some cabin areas have challenging access for larger vehicles. At Jellystone, a visitor warned, "They literally built this campground on the side of the mountain. It's a pretty fun place. Be prepared to have to walk up steep incline to get to your campsite." Many cabin areas offer parking areas separate from cabin locations.
