Most locations include basic furnishings with beds, electricity, and heating systems. A camper wrote, "Glen Echo is an exceptional one-stop Poudre Canyon camping experience. While they do offer large and small cabins, both spots offered amazing rushing water views, a nice mixture of sun and shade, picnic tables, and fire rings."

There is no electricity, bedding, or running water, but there is a propane heater that looks like a wood burning stove that casts a great ambiance." Reservations are essential, particularly during summer months when demand peaks.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary widely between properties - some offer small refrigerators and microwaves while others provide only outdoor cooking options with fire rings and grills. Campground stores at locations like Glen Echo Resort stock basic camping supplies and groceries. Many cabin sites include picnic tables, fire rings, and outdoor spaces for meals and activities. Cabin rates typically range from $35-120 per night depending on size, amenities, and season, with some locations offering weekly rates or off-season discounts.

    Wood Landing Campground

    Hidden Gem

    This small campground is located on the Laramie River at historic Wood's Landing. It has log cabins with common facilities and 5 available water/30 amp electric and a dump station. The sites are small but the location is feet from fine trout fishing and a good restaurant open Wednesday through Sunday. It has a small store and a gas pump where fishing licenses are sold. We stayed for a week and explored Big Creek Lake, the North Platte and the Snowy Range, earning the weekly rate. Some sites have a fire pit and table, ours did not.

    Glen Echo Resort

    Outstanding One-Stop Poudre Canyon Camping Experience!

    Glen Echo is an exceptional one-stop Poudre Canyon camping experience.   While they do offer large and small cabins, long and short term RV spots, we tent camped for two nights on two different riverside sites - numbers 1 and 6 - and both were awesome!  Both spots offered amazing rushing water views, a nice mixture of sun and shade, picnic tables, and fire rings.  One of the spots - site 1 - had electric hook-up.  Aside from the great tent sites, they have on-site a general store/market, fuel, a liquor store and restaurant/cafe, which made life super convenient because it's located about mid-way through Poudre Canyon and there's not a lot out there.  Also, clean showers, which was a nice surprise.  Cannot recommend this chill camping destination enough!

    Fort Collins Lakeside KOA

    Resort style amenities just outside of town!

    This was my first time staying at a KOA campground and I was blown away by the amenities offered here. Upon first pulling up to the campground, I was met by a security checkpoint and was directed to the main office to register and obtain a car pass. The attention to detail and security measures were another surprise to me, as I have always been more accustomed to primitive campgrounds. As previously mentioned, I was astounded by the variety of amenities offered to guests including wifi, a pool, mini golf, a massive playground, arcade, volleyball and basketball courts, horseshoe pits and more. This all in addition to the usual premium campground amenities such as showers, laundry facilities, RV dump station, camp sinks, an office store with basic goods and snacks, etc. 

    This campground is super family friendly and seems to be much more focused on offering RV sites and cabin type lodging. As I am a tent camper, my review will be focused on what is offered for those at a tent site. There are 5 tent sites, which are only available from May 1stto September 30th. The sites are rather close together but in a lovely location right along the lake. The sites cost $45/night on week days and $50/night on weekends for one or two people with a single vehicle, additional guests cost $10/night, additional car $5/night and fire ring rentals are $5/night. Tent sites include a parking spot, a raised and level tent platform, picnic table and grill. Open fires, hammocks and clotheslines are not allowed even at the tent sites. 

    Overall, this campground provides a very family oriented environment with luxurious amenities. This campground would be a great option for those wanting a camping experience without having to “rough it” whatsoever. The RV sites and cabin lodging also provide unique options for those not wanting to sleep in a tent. The price for tent camping seemed a bit steep for me, but made sense considering all of the facilities offered. The location just outside of Fort Collins provides easy access to town while still allowing for a more rural experience.

    Fort Collins Lakeside KOA

    Many activity options!

    General: Many different options: tent sites (with or without hookups), back-in 50/30 amps FHU (with or without patio), Pull-thru 50/30 amps (options include patio and/or hot tub), camping cabins and deluxe cabins. 

    Site Quality: All sites are level and have a concrete pad. Although the sites are close together with no privacy between them, there is some separation with a grass strip.

    Bath/Shower: Code to enter and clean with soap and paper towels. 

    Activities: So many options. My favorite was the half-mile fitness trail that circles the lake. Other activities include mini golf, volleyball, basketball, pickleball, horseshoes, shuffleboard, bike rentals, a fishing pier, a pool, and a nicely appointed playground. 

    Other amenities include a library, laundry, train depot, paddle boats, and a small store. 

    While this is not our preferred type of camping, it suited our needs for a night en route home, and I loved the gravel fitness trail. It was not high season yet so some things such as the pool and paddle boats were not available, and the campground was not full so it was quieter than it would be on a summer weekend.

    North Michigan Campground — State Forest State Park

    Great Winter Camping near Cameron Pass

    We stayed here for 2 nights in one of the Cabins in December. There is no electricity, bedding, or running water, but there is a propane heater that looks like a wood burning stove that casts a great ambiance. Our cabin also had plenty of coat racks, a snow shovel, and a table. We stayed in Cabin 6, and walked though 2 feet of snow 300 ft down a hill (larger hill than expected) with all our stuff to get settled in. As we approached, the propane stove was already going and the cabin was warm and inviting. We used string lights (solar powered) to provide light (there is a dim solar powered light in the cabin as well). We brought 0 degree sleeping bags in case the heater was not enough, but it was toasty warm inside and we ended up hot. The cabins are right on the edge of the reservoir (which is drained as of Dec 2021 but still beautiful in the snow). Cabins 1-3 (cabins 1&2 hold 15ish ppl for large groups, cabin 3 is ADA) are closer to the road and look like they would not have such a long walk in the snow. During my search, it looks like they also allow primitive camping in the winter for $18, but I didn't see which area this would be in, the cabins are on the north side of the lake. Daily vehicle fee of $9. The experience was incredible, we were completely alone and enjoyed great stars and beautiful sunrises. Highly recommend for a unique winter camping experience (sure it would be great in the summer as well but likely way more crowded). Be sure to be prepared for cold temps!

    RJourney Laramie RV Resort (formerly Laramie KOA)

    Simple but nice

    State parks were full so we stopped over in Laramie. Originally planned on a tent site but once we saw how open the tent space was, we decided to grab a dog friendly cabin instead. It was cozy with air conditioning and a mini fridge. Kind of a weird location between a neighborhood and hotels.. but it did the trick. Nice community fire pit for us to relax next to in the evening. Staff were friendly and helpful and bathrooms were clean.

    Elk Meadows Lodge & RV Resort

    Horrible and a waste of money

    Well, what is there to say about Elk Meadow Lodge and RV. We booked a tent site for Fri-Sun. We are a fully contained truck with a roof top tent but we're not allowed an RV site (despite the fact we would have loved electricity and water, and were willing to pay for that luxury). We pulled in after hours to a $h1t show. Our site was unlevel (in the extreme, I pity the people in ground tents that don't have leveling blocks), had no picnic table, and had our neighbors fire pit 6 feet from the side of our truck. Since it was after hours I had to call the 'emergency number' so that my boyfriend and I would have the $50 a night luxury of cooking our dinner on a table. I also expressed concerns about the fire pit damaging our truck or roof top tent, to which I was told "well what do you want us to do, since we can't move the fire pit". Obviously not Jill, but I would like to bring it to your attention. She also offered to have us move sites, but since all the fire rings are in the parking space, I'm not quite sure what that would accomplish (excellent planning on their part!!). When Jill, and I'm assuming her husband arrived with the picnic table (all praise Jill for providing what we paid for!) They were nothing but mean, snarky and downright rude. The excuse for lack of a table was "were closing sites for winter). I'm writing this after only being at the offending RV park for 1.5 hours, but I can't wait to leave. You should save yourself the trouble by never entering in the first place. At least the views were pretty, if you like highway noise.

    Update #1: Boyfriend almost got bitten by a black widow in the bathroom while turning on the light, someome flew a drone, very low, over our tent at 8 in the morning, children were screaming like coyotes all night (seriously), and it's been a rare moment that dogs have not been barking, yapping or howling (no not the kids this time). And I just got to hear the staff gossiping about us requesting a table. Can't wait to see what tonight brings!

    P.S. I am so excited to see what their reply is to this review.


Guide to Livermore

Cabin options near Livermore, Colorado range from rustic to modern with varying amenities and seasonal considerations. Located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains at approximately 6,500 feet elevation, the area experiences temperature fluctuations between daytime and nighttime, even in summer months. Water access varies significantly between cabin rental locations, with some providing full indoor plumbing while others require campers to use communal facilities.

What to do

Fishing access: Curt Gowdy State Park Campground offers cabin accommodations with excellent water access points. "We camped right in the water, it was beautiful! If I had to say anything bad it would be that for a tent site there wasn't any grassy area to put my tent," notes Ashley M., highlighting the direct water access for fishing enthusiasts.

Wildlife viewing: The natural surroundings of Colorado Cabin Escape and RV Park provide opportunities to see local wildlife from your cabin. A camper noted, "Ranch was quiet, horses and pronghorn made for excellent neighbors." Another visitor mentioned, "Loved it... The views were amazing, met some great people, and chipmunks."

Train excursions: When staying at cabin accommodations near Terry Bison Ranch, visitors can enjoy unique bison tours. "Took the feed the bison train ride. Which was totally fun," reports Yolanda L. Another visitor agreed, saying "The train to view and feed the Buffalo was really cool."

What campers like

Waterfront views: Cabins at South Bay Campground on Horsetooth Reservoir offer water views from many units. As Jenn H. explains, "This camp ground has the best view! We have camped in Colorado for over 15 years. By far the campsites with the best views! And you can rent cabins too."

On-site activities: Family-friendly cabin options at Fort Collins Lakeside KOA provide multiple recreational options. "Lake, boats, water cannon boats, fishing, bikes, peewee golf, jumping thing. Walking path around lake," notes Peggy C. Another camper adds, "This KOA is like summer camp for the whole family. It's not your run of the mill KOA by a highway."

Private cabin settings: Several locations offer cabins with more seclusion than standard campgrounds. At Glen Echo Resort, one visitor noted, "Sites are spacious, facilities clean and restaurants has good food... We honestly just loved sitting outside staring into nature and enjoying the river flowing through the campground."

What you should know

Seasonal temperature changes: Pack appropriate clothing for mountain temperature swings. Cabins at State Forest State Park and other locations can get cold at night, even in summer.

Varying cabin standards: Amenities differ dramatically between properties. A visitor to Riverview RV Park & Campground noted, "Nice sites, right on the Big Thompson. Sites are very close to each other, but plenty of room for privacy."

Reservation timing: Book well ahead during peak seasons (June-August). Most cabin rentals require reservations 3-6 months in advance, particularly for weekend stays.

Farm environments: Some cabin sites are located near agricultural operations. A camper at Fort Collins North-Wellington KOA stated, "The campground is located next to a farm and the air had the stench of recently laid manure." Consider this when selecting locations if sensitive to farm smells.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly options: CanyonSide Campground offers cabin accommodations with features for children. A visitor explained, "There's communal fire pits, a jungle gym for kids, and hiking trails into and up the Poudre Canyon."

Entertainment options: For cabin rentals with child-focused amenities, look for locations with multiple recreation options. One family staying at Fort Collins Lakeside KOA shared, "There is even a little herb garden managed by a local society. You can pick whatever you like and make your meals extra yummy!"

Water recreation access: Cabins near lakes provide additional activity options for families. A visitor to South Bay Campground mentioned, "The lake was great for paddle boarding, canoeing, and kayaking."

Bathroom considerations: Cabin bathroom facilities vary widely between properties. At Curt Gowdy State Park, a camper noted, "Vault toilets at campsite, quarter operated showers and flush toilets at the visitor center."
