According to one visitor, "The cabin was perfect, full bathroom, half kitchen, and plenty of sweetness that makes you feel cozy!"

    Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location.

Most cabin rentals require reservations, especially during summer months from May through October when most facilities operate. Pet policies vary by location—Fitton Guard Station does not allow pets, while South Fork Lodge and Grandview Cabins welcome them. One camper shared, "I proposed to my fiancé here. You can hike or OHV about a mile to the old ranger cabin in the bowl of a green valley. The cabin is filled with four bunks beds, a good wood stove, and oil, paper towels, and bottles of stream water for boiling."

    Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Cooking facilities range from propane stoves in rustic cabins to half kitchens in more developed accommodations. Elwood Cabin, though not in the immediate Del Norte area, represents the type of rustic cabin experience available in the region with "a small cabin with 2 bunk beds, two burner propane stove, a few propane lights, an outhouse and plenty of firewood for the fireplace." Basic supplies can be purchased at campground stores or in nearby towns, though selection is limited. Visitors staying at more remote cabins should bring all necessary food, water, and emergency supplies, particularly when staying at locations with limited or no cell service.

      Great Sand Dunes Oasis

      Great for a Sand Dunes visit

      The campground had plenty of space for large rig, and the camp store had a good array of supplies in addition to being one of the few places to get sand sleds. Only complaint was there was not a lot of bathrooms, and there was a decently long line at sundown for showers.

      Grandview Cabins and RV

      Awesome and Affordable

      This is a great campground.  The hosts are very friendly.  I was lead via golf cart to my spot.  Although there are a lot of spots, it doesn't feel like your neighbor is on top of you. It is very clean, and there's lots of grass, so it doesn't feel sterile.  The cabins are very cute from the outside and they match the office and other buildings. The location is easy to find.  It's about a mile North off of 160, and there's a good size gas station right at the intersection.  There's a potluck tonight, too.

      Alamosa KOA

      Very friendly and perfect for the kids

      Staff were amazing! So friendly. Breakfast on weekend was delicious and they even had GF waffles! Fun coffee kiosk too. We stayed at the bunkhouse which was a nice break from tent and camper life while we visited the sites nearby. Kids loved all the toys and peddle bikes.

      Pagosa Riverside Campground

      Friendliest Happy Place to Camp

      2 1/2 miles into town and makes for a good bike ride. Bathroom, showers and laundry facilities are clean and well maintained. So helpful and contacting at the front desk and cute little store. A reasonable price and good location.

Temperatures in cabin camping areas near Del Norte can fluctuate dramatically, with summer daytime highs averaging 75-85°F and nighttime lows dipping into the 40s.

    What to do

    Fly fishing opportunities: The South Fork Campground area provides excellent access to the Rio Grande River, a world-class fly fishing destination. "This campground is in a secluded lovely valley on the south fork of the white river. Good fishing opportunities and trails for hiking and horseback riding," notes Jennifer Z.

    Hot springs relaxation: After a day of outdoor activities, Sand Dunes Recreation offers natural hot springs for soaking. "The Hot springs consist of a large outdoor pool and a couple of smaller pools. It's $15 to soak or half price if you camp there. The Greenhouse pool is 21+ for an additional $3," explains Andrew B.

    ATV and OHV trails: Many cabin locations serve as gateways to nearby trail systems. One visitor at South Fork Lodge & RV Park notes, "Great place for full hook up spots in South Fork. They also have great trails close that you can drive to via atv or ohv's. Wonderful views all around from our campsites!"

    What campers like

    River proximity: The sound of flowing water enhances many cabin stays in the Del Norte area. At South Fork Lodge & RV Park, guests appreciate the riverside setting. "Spots right on the river are pure bliss. Full hookups and the sound of the Rio Grande to lull you to sleep. How great is that?" shares Sarah F.

    Quiet atmosphere: Many cabins offer peaceful settings away from busier campgrounds. "The RV park is extremely quiet and pet friendly. We extremely enjoyed our three day stay. We have already started planning for a return trip. They also have cabins for people to stay in it, traveling without their RV/tent," says Angela R. about Grandview Cabins and RV.

    Family-friendly activities: Cabins often include recreational options on-site. At Chinook Cabins & RV Park, "Kids can ride bikes around the property. There is a basketball hoop and tether ball," according to Kris M.

    What you should know

    Winter accessibility: Most cabin accommodations close seasonally. South Fork Lodge & RV Park operates from "mid May to October 31," while others like Ute Bluff Lodge run from "May 1 - Oct 31."

    Amenity variations: Cabin facilities range from basic to fully equipped. At Chinook Cabins & RV Park, "The cabins are nice but definitely not luxurious," mentions Kris M.

    Cell service limitations: Connectivity can be problematic in remote cabin areas. One visitor to Riverbend Resort reports, "Absolutely stunning, however this is a dead zone! No service, no wifi like 0% nothing worked!"

    Tips for camping with families

    Look for on-site entertainment: Some cabin properties include recreational facilities for children. "We enjoyed the big outdoor hot springs pool during the day and the adult only indoor hot springs at night along with the bar. Plenty of places to walk our dogs and lots for our toddler to explore," shares Heidi S. about her stay at Sand Dunes Recreation.

    Pack for temperature swings: Mountain cabin locations experience significant day-to-night temperature variations. "We were camping in South Colorado in a town near Great Sand Dunes National Park and the basically desert climate dried out my feet pretty bad," notes Daniel B., highlighting the importance of proper clothing and skin protection.

    Consider cabin proximity to attractions: Choose cabin rentals based on your planned activities. Ute Bluff Lodge offers "a low key place just outside of town" according to one visitor, making it convenient for daily excursions.

    Tips from RVers

    Water temperature quirks: At some properties, water hookups come with unusual characteristics. "One funny thing is if you have an rv and hook up to the water, it is fed from the hot springs so the water is always very warm. Didn't get to test out our hot water heater at this location!" reports Heidi S.

    Site positioning: When booking cabin or RV sites, consider views and spacing. "Campground spots were well positioned but a tiny bit close. I would highly recommend any of the ones on the river, you have plenty of space to spread out between the picnic table, fire ring and grassy area by the river's edge," advises Sarah F.

    Seasonal considerations: Mountain weather affects campground operations. "This place has a few cabins and a hotel on site. Probably twenty sites 30amp and 50 amp. Checked in to do laundry and take care of some online business before heading out to go boondocking," notes a visitor at Rainbow Lodge RV Park, highlighting the value of occasional developed campground stops.
