What to do
Waterfall hiking access: North Fork County Park offers cabin sites with convenient access to waterfall trails. "There's a hidden waterfall you can hike too, and a river runs through the park. It's a must!" notes Debbie P. The park maintains multiple cabin sites with varying proximity to trailheads.
Fishing opportunities: Anderson Cove cabins provide direct lake access for fishing enthusiasts. "Fishing was a blast! Will definitely be back," reports Tyler G. Small mouth bass are common catches at several reservoir locations surrounding Huntsville, with best fishing reported during early morning hours.
Winter camping: Cabins at Maples Campground offer access during snowy months. "Short hike in for winter camping, leaving out of Snowbasin Maples Lot. Snowshoes or touring setup will make it easier over just boots, especially as the snowpack deepens," advises Klay L. Winter cabin access requires additional preparation including carrying in water.
What campers like
Secluded sites: North Fork County Park cabins feature strategically placed sites. "There are so many spots, and they are all very private. The Camp hosts are great!" says Debbie P. Most private cabin sites are located in the canyon area near trailheads.
Wildlife viewing: Cabins at Bridger Bay Campground offer chances to see bison and other wildlife. "The bison are free grazing all around and a few came right up to our campground in the early morning!" shares Steven M. Bison sightings are most common at dawn and dusk.
Night sky viewing: Cabins at higher elevations provide excellent stargazing. "I've never seen so many shooting stars before. The sites were plenty big, each had a fire pit and picnic table and were close to legit toilets," notes Stephanie R. about North Fork County Park. Clear skies are most common during mid-summer and early fall months.
What you should know
Reservation requirements: Most cabin sites require advance booking. At Echo Island RV Resort, "Nicely managed campground, good website, efficient reservation process. Management very helpful and friendly," reports Alice P. Reservations typically open 4-6 months in advance.
Bug preparation: Several cabin locations report significant insect activity. "When sun went down the mosquitos started to swarm and chased us inside. Haven't experienced that level of bugginess outside of several of the swamps we camped at in the southeast," warns Rod D. at Cottonwood Campground. Bug activity is highest near water from June through August.
Noise considerations: Highway proximity affects some cabin locations. "I-15 noise was horrible, no sleep even with a fan going and earplugs," reports Laura K. about South Marina Campground. Cabins further from highways generally provide quieter experiences.
Tips for camping with families

Beach access: Cabins near water offer swimming options. "The beach is so large and it's easy to camp out. The sand is soft and fun for the kids to build sand castles. We also enjoyed the small waves while on the beach," notes Whitney K. about Anderson Cove.

Tips from RVers
Site selection: Brigham City-Perry South KOA cabins require strategic positioning. "They pack them in tight here! Each pitch is no wider than 15', which actually makes it pretty challenging to back in. There isn't really any outside space, unless you want to squeeze some chairs next to your neighbor's sewer hookup," advises Jen R.
Water access: RV sites with cabins may have variable water access. "The lake is clean and still very natural. The swans circling the water are something to see. Lots of shade rustic but serviceable showed," shares Meredith S. about Cottonwood Campground.
Winter preparations: Cabins accessible to RVs in winter require additional planning. "Trail is very popular for winter use and you will likely see or hear other people, but it is quiet at night. Choose campsite carefully and consider avy dangers if relevant," recommends Klay L. about Maples Campground.
