Best Cabin Camping near Montezuma, CO

Several cabin camping options exist within driving distance of Montezuma, Colorado, providing comfortable accommodations in the Rocky Mountains. Golden Gate Canyon State Park offers furnished cabins with electricity, heating, and basic furniture including beds, tables, and chairs. The Denver West-Central City KOA features cabin rentals with concrete pads, metal patio furniture, and fire pits. According to Mark M., "Nice metal patio furniture provided at each site (chairs, table, fire pit). Has decent showers, hot tubs, and off leash dog park." Tiger Run RV Resort near Breckenridge provides upscale cabin accommodations with full utilities including power, water, sewer, internet, and cable TV. Most cabins include indoor bathrooms, though some rustic options at state parks may require guests to use nearby communal facilities.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location and price point. The Line Shack Cabin, accessible via a 4.5-mile hike with 2,000 feet of elevation gain, offers a truly remote experience with a wood stove, bunk beds, and small kitchen. Pet-friendly cabin options can be found at several locations including Middlefork RV Resort, which one reviewer noted is "pet friendly" with "amazing views." Most cabin rentals require advance reservations, especially during summer months when demand peaks. Winter cabin camping is available at some locations like Reverend's Ridge Campground, though with limited amenities. "Things to keep in mind when visiting in the winter - water is not available, there are vault toilets near the pay area but not in campground itself," notes Amanda M. in her review of winter camping at Golden Gate Canyon State Park.

Most cabin rentals provide beds with mattresses but require visitors to bring their own linens, pillows, and blankets. Kitchen facilities vary widely between properties - some offer full kitchenettes with refrigerators and microwaves, while others provide only outdoor fire rings for cooking. Basic cookware and utensils are sometimes included but bringing personal cooking equipment is recommended. Firewood can be purchased at many locations, with Golden Gate Canyon State Park offering it "for a cheap price" according to one reviewer. Grocery stores are available in nearby towns like Frisco, which Stan describes as "under a 10 minute drive with great grocery stores" from Heaton Bay Campground. For extended stays, visitors should plan to bring all food supplies, toiletries, and any specialty items needed during their stay.

    White River National Forest Heaton Bay Campground

    Heaton Bay

    Well maintained campsite with moderate privacy. It is a walk on site but parking is right by the site so not far to haul stuff at all. There are trees all around the site but there is an opening/walkway to the neighboring campsite so not 100% private No one on the other side of site so there is an opening in trees that makes for a perfect hammock/ hang out spot which also provides more shade & privacy.

    Bear locker, fire pit and picnic table. Bathrooms nice & well maintained. Close to stores and restaurants in case you need anything. Right on lake Dillon so paddle boarding and trials close by too.

    White River National Forest Heaton Bay Campground

    Great Campground

    This is a well maintained campground. There is water available on every loop. There is electricity and water available at each site on loop A. The driveways and streets are paved. There are walking and bike riding trails everywhere. The town of Frisco is under a 10 minute drive with great grocery stores. Most sites have a fire ring and picnic tables along with bear proff storage containers. Heaton Bay is quiet and lovely. Firewood is for sale at the local grocery stores. There is really something for everyone. We will definitely return when back in this part of the country. Have fun and safe travels.

    Castle Mountain Recreation Area at Wellington Lake

    Private but Crowded

    Beautiful lakeside camping just outside of Denver. Campsites are a bit close together, but great for groups! No hookups here but you have bathroom facilities and a visitor center where you can buy firewood. Campfires allowed in the fire pits. If you have an RV beware quiet hours from 10pm to 8am, no generators allowed. Lake is perfect for paddleboarding, kayaking and fishing and you will most likely have phone service if you are with AT&T or Verizon. Many day use areas, however vehicles and individuals are charged. For campers, if you bring more than one vehicle you will be charged daily for any additional ones. No drinking water is available, you must bring your own. Dirt roads to the lake are rough and narrow. Close to Deckers for incidentals. Intersects with the Colorado trail for hiking and biking and close to the Colorado River for tubing!

    Arapaho Valley Ranch

    We love Arapaho Valley Ranch!

    There are community fire pits, stocked trout pond, access to the river, acres of woodland, and Colorado’s smallest bar! We love the vibe at AVR and the owners are amazing. Occassionally you can catch live music and there are several historic buildings they are restoring. We have a few friends that don’t camp which is okay because they also offering glamping, tipis, cabins, and a lodge. Trust me... one stay and you’ll be booking another one soon after!

    Arrowhead Point Resort

    Great campground!

    This campground is right off the road and easy to find. They had RV sites in the front of the camp and tent sites up the road. We had showers and laundry, general store and wood for sale. Our site was very nice with lots of room. We had a picnic table and a fire pit in the site. There were a few portable bathrooms that were super clean available for night time runs.

    Great views of the mountains!

    Castle Mountain Recreation Area at Wellington Lake

    Good Campground for Social Distancing

    Currently they don't have day-use open, so there's plenty of space at the lake to set-up and spend the day playing with the kids. We stayed in a mountain site (not lake-front) and the kids loved climbing the rocks and exploring the mountain. Really friendly staff. Quiet hours are not well kept and that would be my only complaint. No motors allowed on lake. Great for paddleboarding (rentals available), kayaking, canoeing & kid's floats.

    Red Mountain RV Park

    RV camping in Kremmling

    In Kremmling, the Red Mountain Lodge is a large RV campground with some cabins and motel rooms. It was a bit confusing trying to navigate the access roads in the campground as it was extremely large. However it had several amenities including a pool, free showers (that campers from outside of town can come use for a small fee), full hook-ups, access to the many off highway trails heading out of town (including trails that start in the campground), access to the Silverton Railroad Station (a few blocks away), jeep rentals, hot tub, rec center, laundry, and a playground. There is a SMALL tent area that is really just a grassy lawn between two of the rental units. The rental units are older and in need of some sprucing up (the paint on the exterior was peeling in large swaths). 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.

    Tiger Run RV Resort

    Full Service Glamping close to Breck

    Let's be clear - this is not camping. This is renting a driveway with access to power, water, sewer, internet, and cable. It is EXPENSIVE. It's also the only place near Breckenridge that offers all of these amenities.

    The clubhouse offers a heated pool and hot tub, arcade, business center, locker rooms, laundry ($2 per wash / $1.75 to dry), and owners lounge. There are tennis/pickleball courts and a community fire pit in the center of the resort that hosted movie night during our stay.

    No complaints about this place other than the fact that no one answered the phone at the office during our stay. The good news is that they email the gate code and wifi password ahead of time, so we were able to find our way to the site on our own.

    White River National Forest Heaton Bay Campground

    Lakeside Bliss at Heaton Bay

    Heaton Bay Campground, located near Dillon Reservoir in Colorado, offers a stunning lakeside camping experience with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. The campground is set in a picturesque location, making it a perfect spot for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy water activities, hiking, and enjoying the serenity of nature.

    The sites at Heaton Bay are spacious, well-maintained, and equipped with picnic tables and fire rings, providing a comfortable setting for both tent campers and RV travelers. There are flush toilets and potable water, but no hookups for RVs, so keep that in mind when planning your stay. The campground is nestled among tall pines, providing some shade and a peaceful atmosphere, though there are few trees at some sites, so be prepared for full exposure to the sun.

    One of the biggest highlights of Heaton Bay is its proximity to Dillon Reservoir, where you can enjoy kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing. The campground is also just a short drive from the popular town of Dillon and the many hiking opportunities in the area, including access to the nearby Swan Mountain Trail and many 14ers.

    The only downside is that during peak summer months, the campground can be busy, as it’s a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. Be prepared for crowds, especially on weekends. The nights can also get chilly, so it’s essential to pack warm layers, even in the summer.

    Overall, Heaton Bay Campground offers an excellent lakeside camping experience with a perfect balance of nature, water activities, and mountain views, making it an ideal spot for a Colorado getaway.
