Boulder Adventure Lodge (A-Lodge) offers cabin accommodations with electric hookups, showers, and toilet facilities. "The A-Lodge just outside of Boulder is the ultimate adventure home base. Developed in 2015 from an old motel property along a beautiful, babbling creek in the heart of Boulder Canyon, the current owners have added tent campsites, an RV parking area, a youth hostel, on-site cafe with tap room and canned wine, patio with communal fire pit, and an amazing hot tub in a little gazebo."
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Golden Gate Canyon State Park offers cabin rentals at both Reverend's Ridge and Deer Creek campgrounds, with electric hookups and water available.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Basic kitchens or cooking facilities are common in KOA cabins, while more rustic options may only have outdoor fire rings or grills. On-site camp stores at locations like Denver West-Central City KOA stock firewood, ice, and limited grocery items. For more substantial shopping, visitors should plan to bring supplies from larger towns before arriving. Refrigerators and microwaves are standard in deluxe cabins but may be absent in more basic accommodations. A recent review noted about Wellington Lake, "The sites don't have hookups and the campground doesn't have drinking water so bring all you need."
