Guide to Glenwood Springs

Cabin accommodations near Glenwood Springs provide shelter options ranging from rustic structures to more developed units with heating. Most cabins sit within established campgrounds at elevations between 5,700-8,500 feet, with temperatures varying by season. Cabins offer protection from weather elements common in Colorado's mountain terrain while maintaining access to natural surroundings.

What to do

Hiking access: Several campgrounds provide easy access to local trails. Sylvan Lake State Park features a trail that follows the lake shore, suitable for bikes too. A camper noted, "There's a trail that follows the lake shore around that is also bike friendly, there's also the West Brush Creek Trail which is in the park."

Biking opportunities: The Carbondale-Crystal River KOA places visitors directly beside regional bike paths. One camper shared their experience: "If you love to ride a bike this place is the best... The bike trail it right outside the camp ground and you can ride to Aspen or Glenwood."

Water activities: Many cabin locations offer water-based recreation. The Glenwood Canyon Resort provides direct river access. According to one visitor: "Falling asleep to the sound of the Colorado River literally 3 feet away is just wonderful, well worth the $54/night for a tent site."

What you should know

Site differences: Cabin placement varies significantly between properties. Hideout Cabins and Campground features creek-side options but construction may affect site quality. A visitor described: "Our site was one of four that was right on the creek running through the property."
