Cabin rental options near Henderson, Colorado include accommodations for 2-7 people with costs ranging from $65-150 per night depending on size and amenities. Most cabin camping areas sit between 7,500-8,500 feet elevation, which contributes to cooler nights even during summer months when daytime temperatures typically reach 75-85°F.
What to do
Fishing access: Riverview RV Park & Campground offers sites directly along the Big Thompson River. "We had a great time at this campground. We spent 4 days in a spot right next to the river. Close to Rocky Mountain National Park. Really enjoyed the river, dog park, live music on sat. night and laundry," noted one visitor.
Mountain biking: The trails at Golden Gate Canyon State Park provide extensive options for riders. A camper mentioned, "This park has great trails for hiking and mountain biking. There is also a high elevation lake as well as fantastic views of the continental divide."
Wildlife viewing: Watch for local wildlife at several cabin locations near Henderson. "Nearly every day a deer would come munch on the greenery right behind our rig," reported a guest at Riverview RV Park. At Standley Lake Regional Park Campground, one visitor highlighted the "Nesting Bald Eagles. I don't know how you could not like a place with a huge lake that bald eagles nest beside. With a rookery, this is the spot for bird enthusiasts!"
What campers like
Clean facilities: Denver East-Strasburg KOA receives positive comments about its maintenance standards. "The laundry, bathroom and showers were clean with nice hot water. They have pizza delivery to your site-- which on a day that was 36 degrees with icy rain, was a welcome treat!"
Proximity to attractions: Many cabin sites offer convenient access to nearby destinations. One reviewer at Indian Paintbrush Campground—Bear Creek Lake Park noted: "Close proximity to the highway. Clean level spots. Geared more towards RV camping. Pros: great views of the foothills. Lots of park amenities like horse stables, archery range, swim beach, boat rentals, hiking trails, picnic areas."
Variety of cabin options: The diversity of cabin accommodations meets different needs. At Indian Paintbrush, a camper shared: "We spent 4 days in a yurt. Really enjoyed the dog park, live music on Saturday night. Was just beautiful, all the staff was wonderful and made our first time in CO wonderful."
What you should know
Highway noise: Several cabin locations sit near major roads. At Denver East-Strasburg KOA, a guest pointed out: "Literally right next to highway I-70, there's no way you'll get a restful night's sleep. Maybe in an RV or renting a cabin you'll have better luck, but as a tent camper it was brutal."
Site spacing varies: The distance between cabins can impact privacy. At Reverend's Ridge Campground, a visitor observed: "The campsites are very close to each other and it's busy. We went with friends with adjacent campsites, so that made it fun. However, if we were camping alone it would have been a little close next door."
Reservation requirements: Popular cabin sites fill quickly, especially during peak season. "We showed up without reservations and there were many open sites but the only ones available without a reservation were in the middle of a field and shared a driveway with the site next door. So, no privacy," reported a camper at Standley Lake Regional Park Campground.
Tips for camping with families
Playground options: Several cabin camping areas include play facilities. At Base Camp at Golden Gate Canyon, one family mentioned: "Our nine year old really liked the playground area," while another noted the "Stocked general store with beer and liquor, plus food."
Water activities: Many families appreciate waterfront access. A visitor at Standley Lake Regional Park Campground shared: "Really amazing and open campground with Mountains and City Life not far away! Rent a floatation device or bring your own and enjoy the warmth on the lake."
Nature programs: Cabin locations often offer educational opportunities. "The drive from Golden up into the park is beautiful and you truly feel like you are leaving the noise of Denver and the metro behind. There is no cell service anywhere in the park which I actually enjoyed," noted a family at Golden Gate Canyon State Park.
Tips from RVers
Hookup availability: Cabins and RV sites often have different utility options. At Base Camp at Golden Gate Canyon, a camper reported: "The hookups work, the sites were level and the access to Golden Gate Canyon State Park was amazing. However, the campground is right on a busy road into the State Park so road noise is almost constant."
Site leveling: Prepare for uneven terrain at some locations. A visitor at Reverend's Ridge Campground advised: "The sites are not very level so be prepared to use your blocks. When we were there, there were bears in the campground."
Winter considerations: Some cabin camping options remain open year-round with varying amenities. "Denver Meadows RV Park operates year-round with full hook-ups. In the south part of the park, it is an asphalt parking lot. The north part of the park has trees. The sites in the north section are gravel, dirt, asphalt, and a small number of concrete pads."
