Best Cabin Camping in Colorado

Colorado cabin camping ranges from rustic structures requiring guests to bring bedding and cooking supplies to premium cabins with full kitchens and indoor bathrooms. State park cabins typically include basic furnishings like bunk beds with mattresses, propane heating, and outdoor fire rings, while guests must provide their own bedding, pillows, and often cookware. Mueller State Park leads TheDyrt's rankings with premium multi-bedroom cabins featuring fireplaces and full amenities, while Great Sand Dunes Oasis combines rustic cabins with tent camping areas and on-site dining options.

Most Colorado state park cabins accommodate up to six people with twin and double bunk bed combinations, though some locations like State Forest State Park include queen-sized beds alongside bunk arrangements. Pet-friendly cabins are available at select locations for an additional $10 per night fee, with some parks designating specific pet-free units. Heating systems vary from propane heat and wood stoves to electric heating, and many cabins include solar lighting and basic amenities like small refrigerators and picnic tables, though guests should confirm specific inclusions before arrival.

Cabin reservations can be made up to six months in advance through Colorado Parks and Wildlife's website, with minimum two-night stays required at most locations during peak seasons. Pricing ranges from $28 per night for basic rustic cabins to $270 for premium accommodations with full amenities and prime locations. Year-round availability exists at many state parks, though some cabin areas may have reduced services during winter months. Popular cabin destinations like Golden Gate Canyon State Park and Ridgway State Park fill quickly during summer and fall seasons, especially locations with lake or mountain views.

    Ouray KOA

    Heaven in the mountains

    Wow is all I can say! After surviving towing the airstream up Red Mountain pass, we pulled into the KOA and couldn’t be more happy. Our site backed up to a stream that sounded wonderful with running water. Each site has a picnic table and a combo fire ring/grill. They even welcome you with three large fire logs! They now offer horseback riding right from inside the KOA. They have everything from teepees to tent, cabin and RV camping. A great restaurant on site with a well stocked store and laundry facilities. This place is really well run. The only complaint is the WiFi, which is non existent, however, they are currently working on that and should have campwide WiFi by summer.

    Lone Duck Campground and Cabins

    Good Home Base

    Lone Duck Campground was a good home base for us during our visit to Colorado Springs. The campground is several miles down from Woodland Park and about the same down to Manitou and the Springs. We were out and about during the days, but Lone Duck was nice to return to each afternoon.

    Reservations were easy to do online. They had the site ready for us when we arrived.

    Site 45 was great for our pop up. If we had our 30’ trailer, we wouldn’t have had room for our truck. The site is right next to a lovely stream that really drowned out any road noise. We slept great with the white noise the stream produced. Our site had a picnic table and fire pit (with grill grate). We had water and 30/20 amp electric.

    The bathrooms/showers were in the main office. The men’s restroom had a couple of stalls and three showers. They were sufficient for me. The women’s restroom was small and cramped according to my wife. It appears the floors and walls had been coated with a garage floor or bed-liner material. It wasn’t the most appealing but again was sufficient. We did use the laundry room and all machines worked fine.

    There is a store, small dining area, and arcade in the main office along with the restrooms and laundry room. Wifi was hit or miss from the campsites. It was better inside the office. The check in staff was aware of the wifi and mentioned they were working on it. (We weren’t here for the internet so again, not an issue for us).

    The kids did swim in the pool. The water was warm and they seemed to enjoy playing with other kiddos there. There is a small playground next to the pool and fishing pond. Kids played there frequently until quiet hours.

    There are a few small cabins on the grounds and separate sections of the park for tents. There are houses just across the stream from our site but we never heard from or noticed any of the neighbors.

    There is quite a bit of greenery throughout the campground. I thought the place could use a mowing or weed eating, but maybe it’s normal to have local grasses/plants left alone to grow.

    As others have mentioned it is a bit tricky getting in and out. If you leave toward Woodland Park, you’ll have to cross a couple of lanes and make u-turn. Same thing of your coming to the campground from Manitou. You’ll make a u-turn.

    Overall, we liked the place and would stay again.

    Monument Lake Resort

    Beautiful start in south central Colorado

    A large campground at the foot of the southern San Isabel mountain range. When you first drive in there are secluded tent spots, then small cabins. There are many spots all around the lake, with large tenter sites on the opposite bank of the lake. We set up amongst the trees in a relatively open spot but there weren’t many campers there so it was no problem. Had a view of the lake and a vault toilet nearby (it was pretty disgusting). Clean showers/toilets on other side of lake. No picnic table on site, but it did have a box grill and a fire pit — burn ban was in effect though. A little stream nearby. Camp store, restaurant, boat rental on site. In all we were thankful for a spot in the summer with no reservations.

    The Last Resort RV Park & Campground

    Beautiful views and a relaxing environment.

    The Last Resort is a lovely RV Park and campground on the Blanco River off Highway 84 between Chama, New Mexico and Pagosa Springs, Colorado. There are full RV hook ups in the loop and partial hook up by the river. The Bunk House is a small cabin with a queen bed and electricity. Many great tent camping sites. There is a nice Bathhouse with a full kitchen, bathrooms with showers and a coin operated washer/dryer. They are open year round, free wifi and pets welcome. There is a small store with ice, sodas, snacks, fishing tackle, RV supplies, and toiletries.

    This is our 3rd summer at the Last Resort. It's a very laid back place with 2 playgrounds and plenty of activities for kids - horse shoes, volleyball, tether ball, etc. They have a nice 4th of July celebration, potluck dinners and camp fires. There are often horses (and a goat) on the property and plenty of space to take a nice walk. This year, we saw a lot of Canada geese and there are also chickens and ducks. We really love watching the many hummingbirds and hanging out by the river. Lots of campers like to fish or float down the river on inner tubes.

    Well maintained, beautiful and friendly hosts make for a wonderful place to stay.

    Pioneer Campground — Vega State Park

    Nice cabin rentals in a Colorado State Park

    The cabins are HA and have nice sidewalk paths from the parking lot. Inside a mini fridge, coffee maker, and a microwave are provided. There are 2 bunks in the back and a plastic kitchen table in the "living space." The cabins have nice patio furniture on the front porch, which was a nice touch for a State Park.  The outdoor picnic table and campfire area outside the cabin is large. The five cabins in this area are close together and you can view your neighbors but this was not a problem for us. (It would make for great a trip with extended family or friends.) One may consider the cabin pricey, but it was typical for a Colorado state park.

    During our stay the bathrooms (vault toilets) near the cabins were so full of bees it was like Candyman was also staying the weekend. There are flush toilets and showers next to a small playground closer to the reservoir. A trail will take you from the cabins to the visitor center. While other areas of the park were not full during our stay, I imagine that at the peak of summer the boating and RVing is plenty.

I never thought at my age(64) I would ever be interesting in accompanying my daughter's family on a tent camping trip! It was my birthday and there were fresh cut flowers with a lovely birthday wish awaiting me next to my bedside table. Thank you! Debbie and Justin blew us away with their tent camping experience. Luxuriously decorated tents complete with comfortable queen size beds, kitchen table and 4 chairs, and living room areas as well as your own camp restroom outside your tent and private gazebo with more seating, table and outdoor solar lights. We enjoyed the local restaurants& attractions such as Santa's Workshop, a gold mine tour where they taught us how to pan for gold, Garden of the Gods, AJ's Pizza and a steam engine train ride in Cripple Creek. The kids loved the property as much as they loved sightseeing in the area. They hiked, ran around in the green space, played on the swing set and even got to help Ms Debbie gather fresh eggs from her mama hens. We bought some of her eggs and they were delicious! The area was truly some of the most picturesque that I have ever experienced and the wild life is abundant so keep your food locked up in your car which you can park conveniently outside your front door. Mr Justin was always busy working on improving this rustic piece of property but always had time to meet any need that arose during our stay. We can not wait to return and see the 1930s cabins that they are in the process of restoring. If they are anything like their tents they will be amazing.

    Glen Echo Resort

    Outstanding One-Stop Poudre Canyon Camping Experience!

    Glen Echo is an exceptional one-stop Poudre Canyon camping experience.   While they do offer large and small cabins, long and short term RV spots, we tent camped for two nights on two different riverside sites - numbers 1 and 6 - and both were awesome!  Both spots offered amazing rushing water views, a nice mixture of sun and shade, picnic tables, and fire rings.  One of the spots - site 1 - had electric hook-up.  Aside from the great tent sites, they have on-site a general store/market, fuel, a liquor store and restaurant/cafe, which made life super convenient because it's located about mid-way through Poudre Canyon and there's not a lot out there.  Also, clean showers, which was a nice surprise.  Cannot recommend this chill camping destination enough!

    Elkhorn RV Resort

    Great spot in Lake City

    This is our first visit to Lake City so I've nothing to compare it to, but I loved this RVPark. Linda was gracious and accommodating. Bathrooms were spotless AND warm. We are at tail end of season so the park was not full at all, but even if it had been there are tables and trees between each site keeping from feeling claustrophobic. We drove past the other RV Park in town - on Henson Creek - you are on the river, but also on the highway and it was packed in. Elk Horn is off the highway nestled against the mountain, and just 4 block walk to "down town" Lake City. Highly recommend this spot. Call to make reservations. Linda gets right back to you. We also stayed on one of the cabins to give kids more trailer room. You provide the top bedding, but there was a queen bed and a bunk (so 4 could sleep easy). No bathrooms in the cabin but your close to the bathrooms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are the best cabin camping locations in Colorado?

Colorado offers exceptional cabin camping experiences throughout the state. Elwood Cabin provides a rustic mountain experience with bunk beds, a propane stove, and beautiful views. For those seeking water proximity, Monument Lake Resort offers small cabins at the foot of the southern San Isabel mountain range with lakeside settings. The Poudre Canyon area features Glen Echo Resort with both large and small cabins alongside riverside camping options. Near Colorado Springs, several cabin options provide convenient access to attractions, while the mountains near Pagosa Springs offer secluded cabin retreats. Many state parks, including Mueller State Park, also feature cabin rentals with access to extensive trail systems and natural beauty.

When is the best season to stay in camping cabins in Colorado?

Late spring through early fall (May-September) is generally the prime season for cabin camping in Colorado, offering comfortable temperatures and full access to outdoor activities. Ouray KOA is particularly popular during summer months when guests can enjoy the nearby stream and outdoor amenities. However, cabins with heating like those at Mueller State Park Campground extend the camping season considerably. Winter cabin stays (December-February) can provide magical snow experiences at lower elevations, though mountain access may require 4WD vehicles. Fall delivers spectacular foliage, while spring offers wildflowers but can bring unpredictable weather. Many cabins close during winter months, so always check seasonal availability before planning your trip.

How much do cabin rentals at Colorado campgrounds typically cost?

Cabin rental prices in Colorado typically range from $60-$200+ per night depending on location, size, and amenities. Basic cabins like those at Durango North-Riverside KOA with minimal amenities (single and bunk beds, power, porch light) tend to be on the lower end of the price spectrum. Mid-range options like the cabins at Lone Duck Campground and Cabins near Colorado Springs offer more comfort and convenience for approximately $80-150 per night. Luxury cabin experiences with full amenities can exceed $200 nightly, especially during peak season. State park cabins are typically more affordable than private resorts but may have limited availability. Many locations offer discounts for extended stays or weekday visits, and most require a cleaning deposit. Prices often increase by 20-30% during summer high season (June-August).

What amenities are typically included in Colorado campground cabins?

Colorado campground cabins vary widely in amenities, from rustic to well-appointed. Basic cabins like Pioneer Campground — Vega State Park typically include bunk beds, mini-fridge, coffee maker, and microwave, with accessible sidewalk paths and porch furniture. More rustic options like The Last Resort RV Park & Campground may offer just a queen bed and electricity in their Bunk House. Many cabins include outdoor fire pits or rings, picnic tables, and grills. Upgraded cabins might feature propane stoves, propane lights, fireplaces with firewood provided, and indoor seating. Bathroom facilities vary significantly—some cabins have private bathrooms while others utilize shared campground facilities or outhouses. Most cabins have electricity, but heating/cooling, kitchen amenities, and water access differ between locations.
