4 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several campgrounds near Dumont, Colorado offer cabin camping ranging from fully furnished units with electricity and heating to basic bunk-style accommodations in state parks. The Denver West-Central City KOA offers furnished cabins with electricity, heating, and comfortable beds, while Golden Gate Canyon State Park features more basic cabin accommodations at both Reverend's Ridge and Deer Creek campgrounds. Clear Creek Getaway provides pet-friendly cabins with picnic tables and toilet facilities. Most cabins include fire rings and picnic tables outside, with indoor furnishings ranging from simple bunks to fully equipped kitchenettes. According to one visitor at a nearby KOA, "These were the nicest camping cabins we stayed in. The campground itself is relatively small but with a nice playground and camp store as well as bathroom facilities."
Cabin sizes vary from small one-room structures sleeping 2-4 people to larger family cabins accommodating 6-8 guests. The Broome Hut, operated by the 10th Mountain Division Hut Association, offers a unique hike-in cabin experience for more adventurous travelers. Most locations require advance reservations, particularly during the peak summer season from May through September. Pet policies differ significantly between properties, with some allowing dogs for an additional fee while others prohibit pets entirely inside cabin structures. Winter cabin availability is limited, with Golden Gate Canyon State Park maintaining some year-round cabins though with reduced services. One reviewer noted, "Things to keep in mind when visiting in the winter: water is not available, there are vault toilets near the pay area but not in campground itself."
Most cabin rentals provide beds with mattresses but require guests to bring their own bedding, pillows, and towels. Kitchen facilities range from none (requiring all cooking to be done at outdoor fire rings) to basic setups with microwaves and mini-refrigerators in more deluxe units. The KOA location offers additional amenities including an on-site store for basic provisions and food service options. Visitors should plan to bring cooking utensils, food storage containers, and all personal items. Grocery stores can be found in nearby Idaho Springs and Black Hawk for stocking up on supplies. During colder months, extra blankets and heating sources are recommended as mountain temperatures can drop significantly at night, even in summer.

TravelerFrom 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.
TravelerWe 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.
ScoutLake Wellington is a beautiful family and dog friendly campground just about 90 minutes from Denver. There are 75 sites, and even when it's pretty full they are decently spaced out that you don't feel too on top of other guests. We brought our dogs and a group of friends and had a great few nights, even seeing Bald Eagles mating!
ScoutNot the nicest but the owners have helped me out a lot.
TravelerIf you are going to camp at a lakefront spot definitely have something you can sit in else you will be attacked by flies. Super quiet during the week - got busy over the weekend.
ScoutNice campground except that loop A site 9 where we stayed is closer to the highway so you get highway traffic noise. Loops B, C and D all have nice sites back in the trees. Some sites are on a curved drive so make it a little harder for set up. Over all it was a great weekend.
GuideThere must be another way in i would assume. 3.5 mile steep climb dirt rd in the rain was slick. After a 8 mile windy rd straight up. Like I said, probably another rd in. Campground is great once you get here. And it's paved!
GuideThe place is beautiful, tucked right beneath the mountain side. There are many trails nearby with many options for those seeking adventure, the campsite staff was very kind and helpful also
LegendGreat campground. Minutes from Dillon and Frisco if you feel the need. Sites are very private and spacious. C loop has electric. Nights are peaceful.
