Best Cabin Camping near Silverthorne, CO

332 Reviews

Cabins near Silverthorne provide varying levels of comfort and amenities depending on the location. White River National Forest Heaton Bay Campground offers basic cabin accommodations with picnic tables and fire rings, while Tiger Run RV Resort features more upscale cabin options with full utilities. "This is not camping. This is renting a driveway with access to power, water, sewer, internet, and cable," notes one visitor about Tiger Run's amenities. Most cabins include electricity and basic furnishings, though specific amenities vary widely between rustic forest service cabins and resort-style accommodations with private bathrooms.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Denver West-Central City KOA provides cabin rentals with metal patio furniture, fire pits, and access to hot tubs and showers. Reverend's Ridge Campground at Golden Gate Canyon offers cabins alongside other accommodation types with varying levels of privacy. One camper shared that "sites range from small to large, some having ample tree coverage and some are very exposed." Reservations are essential during summer months when cabins book quickly, especially at popular locations like Sun Outdoors Rocky Mountain. Most cabin facilities allow pets, though specific policies and additional fees may apply.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities range from simple fire rings with grill grates to fully equipped kitchens in premium cabins. Sugar Loafin' RV/Campground & Cabins provides basic cabin amenities with access to showers and toilets. "The little general store is sparse but has emergency stuff and folks are really nice. They have shower house and bathroom and a huge field next door for the dogs to run," according to one review. Grocery stores in Frisco and Silverthorne stock camping supplies and food, while some campgrounds like Denver West-Central City KOA offer on-site stores with firewood, ice, and basic provisions.

    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!

    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.

    White River National Forest Heaton Bay Campground

    Centrally located to enjoy Frisco, Dillon, and Silverthorne

    This was our first time camping at Heaton Bay. The campground's location on the Dillon Reservoir is ideal for enjoying the multitude of trails and outdoor activities near Frisco, Dillon, and Silverthorne. We stayed on Loop B where sites have a bear box, picnic table, and fire ring. Our 29' Class C was able to fit in Site 13 with no issue, and we also squeezed in our tow dolly and towed vehicle (with some creative parking!)

    If you're setup for boondocking, this is a great place to camp. We got plenty of sun on our solar panels to keep our batteries at 100% for most of the day and it was nice being so close to the water spigot and walking distance to pit toilets and dumpsters. 3 bars of AT&T 5G and 3 bars of T-Mobile LTE during our stay was more than enough to work and enjoy streaming video at night.
