Cabin camping near Dammeron Valley sits at approximately 5,200 feet elevation in Washington County, Utah. The area experiences hot summers with temperatures often exceeding 100°F and mild winters, with occasional light snowfall. Located between the Pine Valley Mountains and the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve, this region's cabin accommodations serve as convenient base camps for exploring nearby state parks and recreation areas.
What to do
Visit Red Cliffs Conservation Area: Located about 15 minutes from Leeds RV Park & Motel, this area offers hiking trails and unique geological features. "Red Cliffs Rec area has beautiful trails and dinosaur tracks. There's the Quail Creek State Park as well. Hurricane is up the road and has even more attractions, hikes and ORV trails," shares one visitor.
Paddle at Sand Hollow State Park: This reservoir provides water recreation options within 30 minutes of many cabin sites. A camper at Sand Hollow OHV Camp notes, "I enjoyed paddle boarding on the lake. We loved it so much we stayed 2 extra days, I can't wait for our next adventure at sand hallow."
Access the Virgin River: Multiple cabin locations offer proximity to the Virgin River for cooling off during hot months. "There is a nearby river, and we took the dogs down to explore with us a few times during our stay. Apparently they have a schedule of activities available, but we didn't do any of those," explains a visitor at Zion River Resort.
What campers like
Clean bathroom facilities: Cabins at Willow Wind RV Park receive consistent praise for cleanliness standards. "Very clean. Shaded and well maintained. Highly recommend," mentions one camper, while another specifically notes, "The restrooms/showers were the nicest I've ever seen."
Convenient location to multiple attractions: Many cabin sites provide strategic access to several destinations. At McArthur's Temple View RV Resort, a visitor appreciated that "the park was very clean and well-maintained. The staff were also really friendly, helpful, and accommodating. There were a lot of amenities, including the pool, a full gym, outdoor games, and an indoor game room."
Recreation amenities: Pools and activity areas enhance the cabin camping experience. A Gunlock State Park visitor shares, "Facilities are new and clean. Decent cell service," while another mentions, "Table has a roof cover," highlighting the usable outdoor space at each site.
What you should know
Reservation requirements: Cabins book quickly, especially during peak Zion visitation. "We selected this campground because of its proximity to downtown Saint George and were pleased with how central the location is," notes a visitor to McArthur's Temple View RV Resort, suggesting advance planning.
Internet limitations: WiFi varies significantly between properties. At Zion River Resort, a camper reported, "There is virtually no cell signal in Virgin. Certainly not enough to even begin to create a hot spot. There is wifi (and we even had a booster on our site)...but there was still terribly connectivity."
Tent camping options: Some facilities offer tent sites alongside cabins. At Leeds RV Park & Motel, a camper observed, "The tent sites aren't sites, they're just on a medium sized lawn where you have to pick a spot. $33 felt expensive but at least they had showers."
Seasonal considerations: Summer heat makes shade critical. "Despite being in the desert, there's grass and it's a very pretty campground," notes a camper at Zion River Resort, while another visitor at Willow Wind RV Park mentioned, "Despite basically being in a desert, the park had lush grass in every spot and a dense tree cover. It was about 10 degrees cooler in the park because of the shade from the trees."
Tips for camping with families
Laundry access: Extended stays with children benefit from on-site laundry. "Zion Canyon Campground has a coin laundry. The machines are dated but, cheap," notes a visitor, making multi-day cabin stays more manageable with kids.
Pool availability: During summer months, pools provide critical recreation. A visitor at Zion Canyon Campground shared, "They do have a quiet time, and if there is ever an issue with people having a loud party, you can call the Inn (there is a hotel that runs the campground) and they will send someone out."
Space considerations: Cabin sizes vary significantly between properties. "The sites are huge. Very wide and with lovely grass and gravel. Everyone gets a grassy area," reports a Zion River Resort camper, important information for families needing room to spread out.
Tips from RVers
Level sites: Concrete pads make a significant difference for cabin and RV camping comfort. "The concrete pad is very level," notes a Zion River Resort camper, while another at Willow Wind observed, "We had our own lot with electricity. I would absolutely recommend camping at this location if you are planning any trip to Utah!"
Hookup reliability: Cabin guests often share utilities with RV sections. "The hookups are great. I get so frustrated when parks put the water hookup really low to the ground and you can barely get your hose hooked up. No such issue here. Electric is great, as was sewer. Just want you want," shared a Zion River Resort visitor.
Site privacy: Spacing between units varies widely. "The sites are VERY close together. We always feel crammed up next to our neighbors - the feeling of which is only exacerbated by putting your slides out," notes a Zion River Resort camper, providing important context for cabin selection.
