Cabin accommodations near Hot Sulphur Springs, Colorado range from rustic to luxury options across Grand County. Most cabin sites sit at elevations between 7,500-9,000 feet, where summer temperatures typically peak in the mid-70s and drop to the 40s at night. Winter cabin rentals require preparation for significant snowfall, with accumulations reaching several feet during peak season months.
What to Do
Fishing opportunities: 15-minute drive to Wolford Reservoir from Kremmling cabins. "Beautiful views abound, the lake is very clean and access is easy. There is lots more lake for us to explore on our paddle boards, but each day the wind picks up around 1-2pm and makes travel treacherous at best on the lake," notes a Wolford Campground visitor.
Trail access from property: Some cabin locations offer direct hiking options. "There's a wonderful petting zoo area, playground, basketball courts and much more. They offer all sorts of activities such as horseback riding, ice cream social, chuckwagon breakfast, square dancing, cowboy church," shares a Winding River Resort guest.
Wildlife viewing: Dawn/dusk optimal for spotting moose and elk. "Moose have a tendency to wander through the campground toward the evening and the local elk herds like to eat with the horses," according to a long-time visitor.
What Campers Like
Private lakeside cabins: Sites with direct water access. "Last minute decision to car camp here but worth it. Easy access to lake from camp spot, walked our paddle boards to beach 20 yards from camp site and had great Mountain views," explains a visitor to Heaton Bay Campground.
Proximity to national parks: Many cabins are strategically located. "Nice sites, easy access to town and Rocky Mountain NP," notes a reviewer from Elk Creek Campground. Another visitor adds, "Resort is right outside the gates of Rocky Mountain National Park. Grounds were clean and well maintained."
On-site recreation: Entertainment beyond standard amenities. "They have an amazing pool! Bowling alley, arcade, restaurant, bars (yes more than one!) they had live music, they have fishing, and dog parks, bike rentals, daily trash pick up from your campsite, firewood delivery, play grounds, golf carts," shares an enthusiastic Sun Outdoors Rocky Mountain guest.
What You Should Know
Limited connectivity: Cell service varies widely. "I need data and the towers were over a hill, so absolutely no data coverage on any of my hotspots. What a pity because the location and view are awesome."
Temperature fluctuations: Pack for 30-40 degree daily swings. "The nights can also get chilly, so it's essential to pack warm layers, even in the summer."
Reservations essential: Many cabin locations book months ahead. "Prepare to pay $30 extra to 'secure' our campsite spot, otherwise the one we picked could be given to someone else. This is the only campground on the vacation (we did 8 campgrounds) that required this," notes a visitor from Arapaho Valley Ranch.
Wildlife precautions: Store food properly. "We saw our first and only moose while camping up there. It was super cool! They also have horse rides available for purchase and I believe dirt bikes/atvs."
Tips for Camping with Families
Activity planning: Check schedule upon arrival. "Kids enjoyed activities - popsicle eating contest, t-shirt tie dye, and donut decorating. They also loved the clean and well-lit basketball courts," says a visitor to the area.
Pack extra clothing layers: Weather changes rapidly. "It's a great value for families traveling with children. We would happily stay here again to enjoy the proximity to Granby, Fraser, and Winter Park," explains a Snow Mountain Ranch YMCA visitor.
Proximity to supplies: Some cabin areas are remote. "There's a small store onsite with necessities, T-shirts, souvenirs, etc. The campsites are large and trees and wildflowers abound."
Bug protection: Summer months bring mosquitoes. "Pack up on deet (was still attacked after spraying the 30%)."
Tips from RVers
Site selection for cabins: Request specific locations. "Our site (30) was difficult to level our travel trailer due to left/right slope. The Hopi campground has full hookups with 20/30/50 amp, water and sewer. Everything worked fine and there was good water pressure."
Water management: Not all cabins have equal access. "There is no water to fill your tank unless you're a lucky one who got loop C. There also isn't a dump anywhere and of course no power (not unusual)."
Wind preparation: Many areas experience strong afternoon gusts. "The campground has no shade, no trees, no cover, only some picnic tables have roof covers but no wind block. There is no cover or shelter from the wind. And it blows, everyday, according to the camp hosts. Sometimes extremely high winds- 40+ mph."
