Best Cabin Camping near Silver Plume, CO

Several cabin accommodation options around Silver Plume provide overnight lodging within a 30-mile radius. Denver West-Central City KOA offers cabin rentals with concrete pads, metal patio furniture, and on-site amenities including hot tubs and an inexpensive pancake breakfast. Cabins at Golden Gate Canyon State Park provide more rustic accommodations with electric hookups and picnic tables. Both locations maintain clean facilities with varying levels of privacy between units. "This is a well maintained campground with moderate privacy. It is a walk on site but parking is right by the site so not far to haul stuff at all," noted one visitor about the accommodations at White River National Forest Heaton Bay Campground.

Depending on the selected location, cabin styles range from basic shelters to more furnished units with electricity and heating options. Reverend's Ridge Campground at Golden Gate Canyon remains open year-round with winter access, though water services become unavailable during colder months. Tiger Run RV Resort offers higher-end cabin accommodations with full hookups and resort amenities but at premium pricing. Most locations are pet-friendly with some restrictions. A visitor remarked about one property: "On a cross country day trip these were the nicest camping cabins we stayed in. The campground itself is relatively small but with a nice playground and camp store as well as bathroom facilities."

Most cabin rentals provide beds and basic furniture but require guests to bring their own linens, towels, and cooking supplies. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between properties, with some offering only outdoor fire pits while others include indoor cooking options. Several locations maintain on-site stores selling firewood, basic groceries, and forgotten essentials. Clear Creek Getaway features tent cabins with shared toilet facilities but no showers or trash service, requiring more self-sufficiency from visitors. Reservations are essential for all cabin accommodations, especially during summer months when properties frequently reach capacity.

    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!

    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.

    Estes Park KOA

    A repeat vacation

    On a cross country today trip these were the nicest camping cabins we stayed in. The campground itself is relatively small but with a nice playground and camp store as well as bathroom facilities. You can't beat the view, people and the easy location to go into the downtown. We only had one night here but plan to make a week long trip to the area at another time we liked it so much.

    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!

    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.


Guide to Silver Plume

Cabin accommodations near Silver Plume provide a mountain retreat at elevations between 8,000-9,000 feet, where summer temperatures average 70-80°F during the day and can drop into the 40s at night. Winter cabin rentals require preparation for snow conditions, with several locations maintaining plowed access roads from November through April. Most properties enforce quiet hours from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.

What to do

Hiking access: Cabins at Reverend's Ridge Campground in Golden Gate Canyon State Park serve as excellent basecamps for nearby trails. "The campsites are clean and easy to get to. Great for families with little ones. You are pretty close to your neighbors and it's busy," notes one visitor who appreciated the convenience and cleanliness of the area.

Winter activities: During colder months, cabins remain accessible at Tiger Run RV Resort with proximity to ski areas. A visitor commented, "Not only was it one of few if not the only park open during the winter months but is located right in between Breckenridge, Keystone and A Basin. Vail is even less than an hour."

Fishing opportunities: Several cabin properties offer fishing access within walking distance. A review from Aspen Meadow Campground mentions, "The bike trails are awesome and a sweet pond tucked in the meadow to fish at." Fishing licenses are required and can be purchased online or at sporting goods stores in nearby towns.

What campers like

Mountain views: Heaton Bay Campground cabin guests consistently praise the scenic surroundings. "Last minute decision to car camp here but worth it. Easy access to lake from camp spot, walked our paddle boards to beach 20 yards from camp site and had great Mountain View's," writes one visitor who enjoyed the water access combined with scenic vistas.

Budget-friendly options: Some locations offer significant value compared to hotel accommodations. At Denver West-Central City KOA, a visitor noted, "The park is beautiful the views are truly amazing! The staff is fantastic and always willing to help! The clubhouse is spotless. I stayed on the upper level of the park to have the views."

Cleanliness standards: Many campers appreciate the well-maintained facilities. A Base Camp at Golden Gate Canyon guest reported, "The bathrooms were very clean and recently remodeled, but require coins if you were going to shower." Typical shower costs range from $1-2 for 4-5 minutes of hot water.

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Most cabin accommodations require advance booking, particularly during summer and winter peak seasons. Booking windows typically open 6 months in advance, with holiday weekends filling quickly.

Amenities variation: Cabin facilities differ substantially between properties. A visitor to Clear Creek Getaway explained their experience: "Our yellow A frame was the perfect little home with the most gorgeous view of the sunset. Conveniently located off the 70 it has bathrooms, board games, and a bbq!" Always check specific amenity lists before booking.

Weather preparation: Mountain weather changes rapidly year-round. One camper at Deer Creek Campground shared, "This campground was tiny and a little cramped but was very clean and had running showers that was a plus. It was surrounded by trees but they were small which didn't help block the wind."

Noise considerations: Properties closer to highways experience traffic noise. A reviewer stated about Base Camp: "The campground is right on a busy road into the State Park so road noise is almost constant. There is a nice little store and the showers/bathrooms are well maintained."

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Several cabin locations feature play areas for children. At Denver West-Central City KOA, a visitor observed, "On a cross country day trip these were the nicest camping cabins we stayed in. The campground itself is relatively small but with a nice playground and camp store as well as bathroom facilities."

Child-friendly activities: Some properties organize regular family activities. "Golden Gate Canyon SP is absolutely gorgeous! We loved the experience at the park, the trails are great and the views are wonderful. The drive up can be a bit breathtaking, but it can be done!" notes a family who visited with children.

Pack extra entertainment: Limited cell service affects many cabin locations. Bring board games, cards, and outdoor toys. A Frazer Meadow visitor explained, "This was my first backpacking experience and I couldn't recommend it more for first timers. There is a designated pad for your tent, a bear locker and even an outhouse all nearby."

Tips from RVers

Winter access considerations: For those with RVs towing vehicles, Tiger Run RV Resort provides year-round cabin options. "Super nice park with great amenities, especially when your RV is winterized. Two indoor hot tubs and a pool, private showers & changing rooms, and laundry. Just wish there was a dish washing station," writes one winter visitor.

Site spacing: Many cabin areas have limited separation between units. A visitor noted, "The sites were level and very clean, hookups were easy (nice threaded, tidy black/grey water), lots of Aspen trees between the sites, but still a bit close together."

Off-season advantages: Shoulder season visits (April-May and September-October) often provide more availability and privacy. "We are staying in their offseason and it is still so beautiful and facilities are amazing! Great WiFi and hookups with fire rings at every site!" reports a guest who appreciated the reduced crowds.
