Cabin rentals near Kremmling, Colorado provide access to outdoor recreation in the high-altitude landscape of Middle Park. Located at approximately 7,300 feet elevation, this region experiences dramatic temperature drops at night even during summer months. Most cabin accommodations remain open from late spring through early fall, with some properties offering winter accessibility for cold-weather enthusiasts.
What to do
Fishing access points: Wolford Campground offers cabins with direct access to fishing opportunities. "We had the entire loop to ourselves. Beautiful views and very private because no one was here in mid May," notes Richard S. of Wolford Campground. The lake is popular for both shore fishing and boat access.
River recreation: Rancho Del Rio provides cabin accommodations with Colorado River proximity. "The river is super fun to raft or float down and Rancho has a rafting company where you can rent gear," explains Jeana P. of Rancho Del Rio. Radium Hot Springs is nearby for post-activity soaking.
Winter activities: Snow Mountain Ranch YMCA maintains year-round cabins with seasonal activities. "The Y offers a variety of activities included in the camp fee and publishes a weekly schedule of activities. We enjoyed the Y's hiking trails, excellent disc golf course, and introduction to pickleball," states Terry P. of Snow Mountain Ranch YMCA.
What campers like
Easy town access: Red Mountain RV Park offers cabin rentals within walking distance of Kremmling amenities. "A short walk down the road takes you to some good restaurants as well as a microbrewery. Across the street is the grocery store/general store/post office, and a gas station is just down the road," reports Annie C. of Red Mountain RV Park.
Heated options: Winter cabin users appreciate reliable heat sources. "30 amp power was clean. Wasn't horrible leveling a small camper, but I can see why larger ones would have a hard time," mentions William V. about winter camping at Wolford Campground. Most winter-accessible cabins feature electric heaters or propane systems.
Family-friendly amenities: Many cabin properties include recreational facilities on-site. "The Y has cabins, yurts, and primitive and developed campsites. The Y offers a variety of activities included in the camp fee and publishes a weekly schedule of activities," explains Terry P. about Snow Mountain Ranch YMCA. Children's activities often include structured programs supervised by staff.
What you should know
Seasonal considerations: Cabin availability varies significantly by season. "Only one loop was open/plowed, but that was plenty as I was the only one there for a couple nights. Nothing spectacular about this place during winter, but it appears to be a popular ice fishing spot," explains William V. about March visits to Wolford Campground.
Advance reservations: Popular cabin properties fill quickly during peak seasons. "We stayed here in site #13 we booked late & there were only a few spots left," reports B M. about Steamboat Springs KOA, located an hour from Kremmling. Most cabin properties require deposits between 30-90 days in advance.
Varying quality levels: Cabin conditions range widely between properties. "Our site (30) was difficult to level our travel trailer due to left/right slope. At $71/night I would have hoped for a site that was a bit more level and maybe on gravel instead of dirt," notes Jason F. about Steamboat Springs KOA.
Tips for camping with families
Child-friendly activities: Winding River Resort offers structured family programming. "They offer all sorts of activities such as horseback riding, ice cream social, chuckwagon breakfast, square dancing, cowboy church. There's a wonderful petting zoo area, playground, basketball courts and much more," shares Mary D. of Winding River Resort.
Animal encounters: Several cabin properties feature wildlife viewing or domestic animal interactions. "Horses, and a donkey walk around like they own the place," describes Jona R. about Winding River Resort. These encounters provide educational opportunities for children while requiring appropriate supervision.
Pack appropriate clothing: Mountain temperature fluctuations require layered clothing. "Winter cabin guests should pack warm sleeping bags as backup, even in cabins with heating systems, as mountain temperatures can drop significantly at night regardless of season," advises local rangers. Night temperatures can drop below 40°F even in July.
Tips from RVers
Site selection matters: When booking cabins at campgrounds with multiple accommodation types, research specific site characteristics. "The campground we had was pretty small for the two tents we had. But still a beautiful little hike down to the water," notes Nicolas G. of Heaton Bay Campground.
Weather preparedness: Mountain weather changes quickly and affects cabin comfort. "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," shares Thomas B. about Wolford Campground. Bring appropriate supplies for sun, wind, and rain protection.
Connectivity expectations: Cell service varies significantly at cabin locations. "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," explains Kevin H. about Wolford Campground. Research connectivity before arrival if work or emergency communications are needed.
