9 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Cabin camping near Red Feather Lakes ranges from rustic single-room structures to deluxe cabins with private bathrooms, offering options for solo travelers and large groups alike. Beaver Meadows Resort Ranch and Glen Echo Resort offer rustic cabin accommodations near Red Feather Lakes with varying amenities. Beaver Meadows provides cabins with picnic tables and fire rings, while Glen Echo features riverside cabins with electric hookups. Most cabins include basic furnishings such as beds, tables, and chairs. "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 people for large groups, cabin 3 is ADA) are closer to the road," noted one winter visitor. State Forest State Park's North Michigan Campground offers cabins with propane heaters that resemble wood-burning stoves, creating a cozy atmosphere during colder months.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Prices vary significantly, with basic cabins at State Forest State Park starting around $90 per night and larger cabins costing $120. Most require advance reservations, especially during summer months when availability becomes limited. According to one camper, "We stayed in cabin #3 and it was an awesome experience! We had room enough for 4 people and 3 dogs and didn't feel like we were on top of each other. The gas stove kept us nice and toasty all night long!" Pet policies differ between locations—some cabins welcome pets while others prohibit them entirely, so checking in advance is essential.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Cooking facilities vary widely between properties, from basic fire rings to small kitchenettes with refrigerators. Beaver Meadows Resort Ranch has a restaurant on-site, though it may have seasonal operating hours. Several locations feature on-site stores selling basic provisions, firewood, and ice. Bathroom facilities range from shared vault toilets to private bathrooms with showers, depending on the property. Visitors staying at more remote cabin campsites should plan to bring drinking water, as not all locations provide potable water sources directly at cabin sites.
"Our campsite was down a few steps and right next to the river flowing through the property, nestled amongst the pines, and shady. In this area, the distance between campsites was great."

"We have stayed here twice, our favorite spot is 43, it is a roomy spot next to the river. Campground is very peaceful at night. There are not that many spots due to long term camping."

TravelerFrom a Sprinters point of view.
Sites are $45.00 a day plus parking
Sites were sloped, we took the flattest one we could find and it took 6” to block our van level.
Pit toilets were very clean.
Sites had trees and boulders, spaced roughly 50’ apart, but there visible traffic on the main road below.
It was a nice campground but we liked the Bobcat Campground a couple miles farther up the road.
See separate review.
TravelerWe took our Sprinter for its maiden voyage, this camp ground was beautiful, private and secluded.
Camping was $45.00 a day plus a parking fee.
Paid at the entry point to an extremely friendly attendant. Reservations can be made on line ahead of time and highly recommended in peak season, especially on weekends.
Site were 50’ to 100’ apart.
Sites were wooded and tucked into granite boulders.
In the 24 hours we were there we saw one car and two people walking their dogs.
Sites were pretty level, each with fire pits and picnic tables.
The pit toilets were very clean and with in 100’ of most sites.
Road in had signs stating you had to be in four wheel drive to avoid damaging the roads but they were very well graded.
GuideSpent 3 nights here with full hookups. Campground is very open, few trees, nice views of mountains all around, good space between sites, with only a handful of campers here. A full campground would probably feel quite different. Each site has a cement pad with picnic table and fire pit. Shower house like new, clean and worked very well. Great location to explore State Forest SP.
ScoutI really enjoy this place, I’ve lived here for about 5 months and the staff are great and I like everyone who stays as well!
GuideWe were here for 2 weeks and were rather disappointed.
The South 40 full-hookup sites had the worst sewer smell that I’ve experienced. No, it was not from our tank, it would come around the same time every morning and linger for a couple hours. The water pressure was unreliable to say the least, even when they were only at half capacity in the park. Nevermind the holiday weekend when the park is at max capacity…
We did like the trail around the park and the fenced in dog area, but overall the park was very dirty and dusty and the sites were in desperate need of a mow
GuideThe place is beautiful, tucked right beneath the mountain side. There are many trails nearby with many options for those seeking adventure, the campsite staff was very kind and helpful also
ScoutSuper clean toilets, great camp host, and good campsites. Some are really close together, and the water is down a lot.
ScoutTop tier glamping resort on the river with an awesome beach and swimming hole, live music on proeprty, grab and go lunch, and the nicest staff I've ever met! 10/10 would come back here. Great place to bring the dogs and kid
ScoutBathrooms, water spigots and power. Pretty good little campground. Nice views. A little close to the main road so some road nose. No cell for us but we have SL.
The cabins near Red Feather Lakes, Colorado sit at elevations ranging from 7,800-9,000 feet in the Roosevelt National Forest. Winter temperatures can drop below 0°F while summer days typically reach the 70s with cool nights. Most cabin locations offer access to alpine lakes and hiking trails within a 5-10 mile radius.
Horseback riding access: Several cabin accommodations provide proximity to riding opportunities. At Beaver Meadows Resort Ranch, "There is a horse coral for you at nearly every RV site" and "The stables are managed separately but are directly across the road. Super friendly and reasonable rates for trail rides. Our 5 & 7 year old granddaughters were able to ride their own horses and had trail riders lead them," notes Michelle G.
Paddling in the reservoir: Water activities add enjoyment to your cabin stay. "We were able to paddle board and fish right from our campsite, and had a wonderful fresh trout dinner," shared one visitor at North Michigan Campground. The combination of cabins and water activities creates versatile recreation options.
Wildlife viewing: The region offers exceptional animal sightings from your cabin location. "We have had full grown moose run through our camp site and there has been reports of black bears near by as well as elk and deer," reports Darla R. at Laramie River Road Dispersed. Morning and evening provide the best wildlife spotting opportunities.
Private water access: Many visitors appreciate cabin locations with exclusive water proximity. At Horsetooth Reservoir South Bay, "We had a great spot right on the water and our kids were able to play in the water right from the campsite," according to Lacey N. This direct access eliminates the need to pack and unpack for water activities.
Evening stargazing: The clear mountain air creates exceptional night sky viewing from cabins. The RV Park at Colorado Cabin Escape features "Soak in the Hot Tub while Stargazing!" as Ashley F. notes, making it an ideal nighttime activity from your accommodations.
Fishing opportunities: Anglers appreciate the fishing access at most cabin locations. At CanyonSide Campground, "It's a good place to bunk if you like to fish, with access into the rivers just across the road and so many other spots just a short drive away," explains Daniel B. Many cabins position visitors within walking distance of quality fishing.
Seasonal operations: Many cabins have limited availability during certain months. "This is open year-round (condos/cabins in winter) with tubing, skating, and X-country skiing in winter," mentions Michelle G. about Beaver Meadows Resort Ranch, but other properties close entirely during winter months.
Varied pricing structures: Costs for cabins fluctuate significantly based on timing and amenities. "There are 4 cabins. Ours seemed to be the smallest sleeping 5. The largest cabin can easily hold 30 people," reports Hayley K., showing the range of options and corresponding price points.
Road access considerations: Some cabin locations require careful navigation. At Glen Echo Resort, "the drive to it is not for the faint of heart if you have a 45 ft toy hauler like we do - right blind turns next to steep rock. Come prepared because it will take you 3 hours to go and come back from the grocery store," warns Tina M.
Playground amenities: Some cabin locations offer built-in entertainment for children. "There's a jungle gym for kids, and hiking trails into and up the Poudre Canyon," notes Daniel B. about CanyonSide Campground, making it easier to keep children occupied throughout your stay.
Multi-generational accommodations: Look for cabins that can house varying family sizes. "We stayed in cabin #3... We had room enough for 4 people and 3 dogs and didn't feel like we were on top of each other," shares Hayley K. about North Michigan Campground. Many locations offer cabin clusters that allow extended families to book adjacent units.
Wildlife education opportunities: Families can combine cabin stays with learning experiences. "We were around Cameron Pass and had given up on seeing any moose when we saw traffic slowing and cars stopped alongside the road - there were two young bull moose snacking by a small river on the side of the road!" describes Amanda M. about exploring near North Michigan Campground.
Hook-up variations: RV sites with cabins nearby offer different connection options. "Sites are all full hookup," mentions Todd R. about Glen Echo Resort, but availability varies significantly between properties, with some offering electric-only or no hookups at all.
Site spacing considerations: Privacy levels differ between locations offering cabins and RV spots. "Our space was The Overlook and it had an amazing view. The stable horses came up next to the site every morning. It is a massive site that accommodated our trailer, a 2-person tent, 2 vehicles and still had room to spare," reports Michelle G. about Beaver Meadows Resort Ranch.
Seasonal road conditions: Larger RVs require careful planning at certain times of year. "From Chambers Lake north down FS 103 you'll find a lot of dispersed camping and a lot of great spots with beautiful views... I've seen most vehicles make their way down this road with no issue and that includes RVs w/ toy haulers," advises Alex S., though spring conditions can create challenges in some areas.
