Best Cabin Camping near Ibapah, UT

Wendover KOA and Bates Family Ranch offer cabin accommodations near the Ibapah region. The Wendover KOA provides camping cabins with standard KOA amenities including access to clean shower facilities, flush toilets, and a swimming pool. One camper noted, "The facilities are nice and very clean. It is a nice option if you want to be close to the action, but not feel like you are in a casino." Cabin guests have access to picnic tables and fire pits, with most cabins positioned on gravel sites. The location offers convenient access to the Bonneville Salt Flats and nearby casinos, with some cabins including shuttle service to gaming establishments.

Rustic and basic cabin options characterize the accommodations in this desert region. The Bates Family Ranch provides cabin rentals in a more remote setting, offering a different experience from the more developed KOA property. Cabins at both locations typically require advance reservations, particularly during peak travel seasons. A visitor commented, "Such a pretty inviting area they have created," regarding the Bates Family Ranch property. Most cabins in the area permit pets, though specific policies vary by location. The Wendover KOA remains open year-round, making it suitable for travelers in all seasons.

Most cabins include basic furnishings but require guests to bring their own bedding, towels, and personal items. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between properties, with some offering minimal cooking equipment. The Wendover KOA maintains a small market where basic provisions can be purchased. Visitors planning extended cabin stays should consider bringing food supplies, as shopping options are limited in this remote area. Water is available at established campgrounds, with one traveler noting the Wendover KOA as "the only place in town I could find fresh potable water." Cabin guests should prepare for the desert environment with appropriate supplies for hot days and potentially cool nights.

    Wendover KOA

    Typical KOA but next to Other Worldly Salt Flats and Casinos!

    Is pretty typical for a KOA except for the location!  This KOA has all the usual amenities: playground, showers, flush toilets, RV hookups, a pool, and wifi.  Some convenievces can also be bought at the main registration cabin.  In addition to the usual RV sites there are also camping cabins and "tent" sites (which I do not recommend).  There are a couple of unique things about this KOA in that it has shuttles to the nearby casinos and is also a 5 minutes drive from the world famous Bonneville Salt Flats where numerous world speed records have been set.

    Wendover KOA - Bonneville Salt Flats

    We stayed at the Bonneville KOA on a road trip from Southern California out to Colorado. Our original goal had been to drive from the SF Bay Area to SLC, UT (US Highway 80 is a very easy, straight shot drive from CA to UT, even for a 650 mile drive), but got a really late start and changed our target to the NV/UT boarder.

    The Wendover KOA is definitely a KOA designed for motorhomes and trailers - it’s BARREN - so not a place I would usually want to tent camp. All of the spaces are dirt lots, including the tent sites - no grass, no bushes, no (well, very few) trees, no privacy, no nothing. Again, this is not the environment I would normally want to camp in, but it worked just fine for a short stop between long stretches of driving when covering miles on a road trip.er

    This KOA campground would be great for RV users who want to visit the Casinos on the Nevada side of the NV/UT boarder, and for those spending time at the Bonneville Salt Flats for races or recreational fun.

    The facilities were clean - clean bathrooms, clean showers. There were fire pits and picnic benches in the camp sites, and WiFi was available on the campus.

    KOAs can be really great and convenient (if not full), considering we did not have a reservation ahead of time, and arrived fairly late, but were able to register through an iron ranger near the front office. If you need to find a place to camp in this area, and do NOT have a 4WD vehicle, I️ would suggest camping at the Wendover KOA instead of the nearby dispersed BLM sites located ON the salt flats. When researching where to stop for the night, we considered staying at the BLM campsites as they were FREE and camping out on the salt flats seemed like a cool idea. We decided against it because we didn’t know how my 2WD Honda CRV would fair on the salt, and because KOAs always have nice clean facilities to use.

    We got into a conversation with our neighbors about the salt flats (we had never seen them before). They seemed to think we made the correct choice by camping at the KOA rather than the on salt flats… they regularly take off-roading vehicles out to the salt flats, and have seen a dozen or so 2WD vehicles get stuck out on the flats. Apparently the long, vast salt flats are deceptive, and not always as flat as they appear. Also, they said that it can be very difficult to see pooled water while driving out on the salt, so a lot of people get stuck in deep puddles after rain.

    Nice KOA, close to casinos

    This is a nice KOA in a convenient location. I stayed there while attending the races at Bonneville Salt Flats. Unfortunately they got rained out but it was still a nice trip. The campground is tucked away behind all of the big Casinos, probably walking distance. The sites are large and spaced out so it felt pretty private. There is a pool, and showers so it's not exactly roughing it. I'd say it's a nice compromise if you don't feel like spending money on a hotel in that area.

    Good but with no wifi

    Good utilities, nice facilities. Excellent access to salt flats and casinos. The park is gravel but there are a few grass patches. The dog park is gravel. Basketball and other recreation areas are good. Wifi was a nogo for everyone we met.

    Private and clean

    We stayed for one night. The campground is close to the casinos, but still feels private and far away from the bustle of downtown. The facilities are nice and very clean. It is a nice option if you want to be close to the action, but not feel like you are in a casino.

    Wendover KOA

    Simple but nice!

    We arrived late at night and our host (Lucy) left us perfect info to find our site quickly in the dark. It was quite a surprise to wake up and see a pretty empty but lovely campground! Lucy was so kind to us and I wish we could have stayed longer! The Casinos are within walking distance but we did not feel unsafe. The campground is very large (but was empty in October) and we could tell it was very well taken care of! Cute store with a lot of nice souvenirs!
