Best Cabin Camping near Saguache, CO

174 Reviews

Saguache County offers several cabin options with varying amenities and locations. Brewery Creek Guard Station, Carnero Guard Station, and Upper Crossing Guard Station provide rustic cabin accommodations in the Saguache area. Valley View Hot Springs features cabin rentals with access to natural hot spring pools. According to one visitor, "The camp sites were simple but great and you have total access to all hot springs, bathrooms, showers, sauna, AND a communal outdoor kitchen." Joyful Journey Hot Springs includes cabin options with access to their mineral pools, clean bathroom facilities, and buffet-style meals. Most locations offer basic furnishings but limited kitchen amenities.

Rustic forest service cabins generally provide minimal amenities while hot springs resorts offer more comfortable options with additional features. Upper Crossing Guard Station includes electricity, making it suitable for visitors needing power during their stay. Reservations are essential for all cabin accommodations, particularly during summer months when availability becomes limited. Pet policies vary by location, with most allowing pets for an additional fee. A review noted, "The camping fee per night without hook ups is $134 per night which is steep but most people are here for the hot springs."

Most cabins require guests to bring their own bedding, towels, and cooking supplies. Cutty's Resort cabins include more amenities than forest service options, with access to indoor and outdoor pools, mini golf, and organized activities. Limited grocery options exist in the area, with small stores in Crestone and Buena Vista. One camper advised, "There aren't a lot of nearby towns that offer larger grocery stores, Crestone has a small co-op grocery as does Buena Vista, so if you are planning on cooking for yourself, come prepared." Many cabins include access to shared bathrooms and shower facilities. Some locations like Joyful Journey include meals with cabin stays, reducing the need for self-catering.

    South Fork Lodge & RV Park

    Gravel pit, no bathroom, no amenities, ATV heavy

    This is been one of my least favorite spots to stay thus far. This park has no bathrooms, no laundry, no fire pits… Nothing but a picnic table. It is fully gravel, sites weren’t level, and very loud early mornings with all of the ATV activity. I think it is far too expensive for the stay. The staff is nice, and it’s family owned—but everything else, including the location pretty much sucked. I really think it’s worth it to find another park around the area to stay.

    We had full hook ups. WiFi didn’t work and no Phone service.

    Fitton Guard Station Cabin

    Proposal Spot

    I proposed to my fiancé here. You can hike or OHV about a mile to the old ranger cabin in the bowl of a green valley. Cattle graze around the cabin and marmots dig around. The cabin is filled with four bunks beds, a good wood stove, and oil, paper towels, and bottles of stream water for boiling, all left by previous campers. There's a fire ring and makeshift bench outside, and the whole thing is ringed by a wooden fence. Worth the price, a very peaceful place.

    South Fork Lodge & RV Park

    Cutest Cabin Ever!

    This place was magical. It was the perfect way to celebrate our anniversary! Only an hour from the Sand Dunes, 45 min from Creede, and close to Three Barrel Brewing Co!

    The cabin was perfect, full bathroom, half kitchen, and plenty of sweetness that makes you feel cozy!

    Grandview Cabins and RV

    Peaceful

    The RV park is extremely quiet and pet friendly. We extremely enjoyed our three day stay. We have already started planning for a return trip.  They also have cabins for people to stay in it, traveling without their RV/tent.

    Alamosa KOA

    Friendly, Beautiful KOA in Alamosa

    The Alamosa KOA was chosen by our family because we like to have the option for swimming at the end of a hard day of play in the National Parks. We made our reservation for our site in March, a mere three months before our mid-week, June 7 arrival.

    This KOA has a nice sized heated, outdoor pool with reasonable hours, closing around 8:00 PM. The pool temperature was warm enough for even the adults to slip right into it. There is also a fantastic playground with updated equipment, including an elevated tunnel system that ends with safety slides. When you have a small child who loves to play, especially a special needs child, this is a big deal! Other amenities include showers and laundry facilities (we did not use either but they looked nice). Wi-Fi is advertised, and the signal is available, but was not even fast or reliable enough to load photos from Instagram or Twitter. Streaming would be out of the question, but it would probably suffice for checking email.

    One of the more unique benefits offered at this KOA include on-site Hunt Brothers Pizza and breadsticks. Not only can you get hot, fresh pizza here, made to order, but they will deliver it to your site! In addition, they deliver wood and ice. This site also offers a weekend pancake breakfast (seasonal).

    The RV sites were leveled very well, and they have both 30-amp and 50-amp sites available. There are small shade trees scattered throughout the camping area, but they are still quite young and small. I read some previous reviews that felt the sites were too close together. Although there was little privacy, we have certainly had less room between sites than we had in Alamosa. Perhaps with slide-outs it might be more compact, but our little Starcraft fit in just fine. In addition to RV sites, there are tent sites and camping cabins available.

    Our take-away from Alamosa KOA: The view from the campsite and the kindness and helpfulness of the hosts, the Martin family, make this a return-trip campground for sure! Any questions for us about this site? Leave them in the comments below!

    Great Sand Dunes Oasis

    Excellent Proximity to Great Sand Dunes

    There are around 90 primitive tent only campsites here in addition to a couple dozen RV sites, cabins, and a mini lodge.

    $25/night for a tent only site, but the location to the park can’t be beat and the fee includes two showers (unlimited time).

    Some sites have picnic tables (not in the best shape) and all have fire rings.

    The general store is open from 8am-8pm, along with the restaurant. Everything was pretty reasonably priced and the food was good. They also rent boards for surfing the sand dunes.

    The view of the sunset and Milky Way were priceless. We would definitely return.

    Great Sand Dunes Oasis

    Great Sand Dunes Oasis

    Booked a last minute RV spot at Great Sand Dunes Oasis.

    The bad:

    The park is not much to look at. The gravel roads and store parking area are in dire need of maintenance; buckle up. There are 20 RV spots all stacked in right on top of each other. The wind was awful and there is nothing to block it. There’s really nothing between the sites but a little strip with a picnic table and small fire ring, and a small tree.

    The good:

    The bathrooms and showers were incredibly clean. The person I dealt with on the phone was very accommodating and set us up for after-hours check-in. There was a small playground area near the RV sites. Above the RV sites were cabins and a lodge. They rent Sand sleds to use at the park, $20 each + wax for the day. There is a beautiful view of the dunes from the park.

    The restaurant had not opened yet so I have no opinion of that. The store had just opened and was not fully stocked.

    RV sites were pull-through but it’s pretty tight on your passenger side pulling in.

    All said, I would return to this park again. It is a good place to use as a home base while you explore Great Sand Dunes National Park. Trust me: you will need to shower the sand off.

    Alamosa KOA

    Alamosa KOA

    This campground has everything you need. Trash pick up, firewood delivery pick nick tables and fire rings at every site. There is a well stocked store with ice, propane, firewood etc. We showed up on a Saturday and there was rock painting and $2 ice cream for the kids right next to the playground. If you want a quieter site however be sure to request something AWAY from the playground! It’s pretty noisy with the kids. Staff is great, views are good and the Sand Dunes are 1/2 hr away. Oh, they have free WiFi and hot showers as well. Kinda deluxe.

    Great Sand Dunes Oasis

    Amazing stay with views of the Dunes!

    We loved this camp site! It was our first time to tent camp in Colorado and it was great. Several sites to choose from. Some have views of the dunes, some are more secluded. Bathrooms were clean. Very spacious tent site with a fire pit. Our tent sleeps 6 and we had no trouble fitting in the spot.
