Best Cabin Camping near Kaysville, UT

Several state parks and private resorts within driving distance of Kaysville, Utah provide furnished cabin rentals with varying amenities. East Canyon State Park offers cabins at both Dixie Creek and Big Rock campgrounds, featuring electricity, water hookups, and outdoor fire pits. The Blacksmith Fork Guard Station provides a more rustic cabin camping experience with a propane refrigerator and stove, cooking utensils, and beds. According to one visitor, "The guard station comes fully equipped with cooking utensils and dishes and cleaning supplies. The cabin itself is clean and well maintained. It's the perfect mix of outdoors with some comforts with the stove and beds in the cabin." Most cabins include picnic tables under covered pavilions, with access to shared bathroom facilities that typically include flush toilets and hot showers.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location and price point. The Brigham City-Perry South KOA offers pet-friendly cabin options that operate seasonally from March through October, with clean facilities and easy check-in procedures. Echo Island RV Resort provides year-round cabin rentals with nicely spaced sites and good tree cover. Antelope Island State Park cabins at Bridger Bay and Ladyfinger campgrounds offer more basic accommodations but spectacular views. Most locations require advance reservations, especially during summer months when cabins book quickly. A camper at Pony Express RV Resort noted, "Very helpful employees, clean and pet-friendly. Can see mountains all around you."

Most cabin rentals provide beds with mattresses but require guests to bring their own bedding, pillows, and towels. Kitchen facilities vary widely, from basic fire pits with cooking grates to propane stoves and refrigerators in more equipped units. Cabins at state parks typically include outdoor cooking areas rather than indoor kitchens. Visitors should plan to bring their own cooking utensils, food storage containers, and cleaning supplies unless specifically noted in the rental description. While some locations like Pony Express RV Resort offer on-site stores with basic provisions, most cabin campers bring groceries from Kaysville or nearby towns. Firewood is available for purchase at many locations, though fire restrictions may apply during dry seasons.

    Dixie Creek Campground — East Canyon State Park

    A good example of how government campsites should be done

    Overall, the facility is neat and clean for a campground. My visit was at the end of the 4th weekend, so some messes were expected. My campsite was in good shape upon setting up my 30ft trailer. All sites are back-in and mostly flat asphalt. A little rig leveling might be needed. The outside of the loop at Dixie C.G. is electric and water only. The inside of the loop has full hook-ups. 

     All sites have long, sturdy metal tables and a metal cover over a concrete pad. A fire pit was adjacent. Even with fire restrictions almost everywhere else in Utah, wood fires were permitted in the provided pit. Common area toilets are well maintained, containing flush toilets and running water. Most service buildings also contain free showers.

    A one-star deduction is due to the effects of climate change, which is out of the Park's control to an extent. That said, my beef is with maintenance of the beach - a nice beach by the way. It's obvious where the historical water level use to be. Wish I could have seen the reservoir full because it may never happen again. But I digress. I think the park should rake or scrape the beach surface to remove offensive weeds and people's discards. That takes workers, budget and equipment. My guess is our State representatives lack interest to fund state parks for such mediation measures. It would greatly enhance the visual appeal and safety for families at the water's edge.

    Hailstone - Upper Fisher Campground — Jordanelle State Park

    Immaculately maintained campground

    We stayed for only one night, but I would come back here in a heartbeat! Big, clean bathrooms with running water, mirrors, flushing toilets, & hot showers. Gorgeous view of the lake - you can walk right down to the water from your site. Super friendly staff. Tent pads are all level and maintained after each camper. Has all the other essentials- clean picnic table, big clean fire pit, and a charcoal grill.

    Dixie Creek Campground — East Canyon State Park

    Decent water destination!

    We went during the summer and had a great time. The views were perfect and the lake is active with choice of water fun rentals. The site is standard with a small lawn area and a pavilion. Bathrooms are onsite as well as showers. Pet friendly but need to be on a leash at all times. Great for RV’s as power and water is present on each site.

    Blacksmith Fork Guard Station

    Everything you need is there!

    We have stayed at this campsite for a few years in a row and plan to keep coming back. The guard station comes fully equipped with cooking utensils and dishes and cleaning supplies. It also includes a propane refrigerator and stove. There are plenty of hiking and biking trails nearby. It does get busy, and you do hear the ATVs going up and down the road all day. There is also a river/stream that runs behind the cabin that is great for fishing. The cabin itself is clean and well maintained. Its the perfect mix of outdoors (no running water, no wi-fi) with some comforts with the stove and beds in the cabin. Great for families who want a little less remote camping experience.

    Hyrum State Park Campground

    Small peaceful state park

    We love state parks and decided to try Hyrum Stare Park for a couple of nights as we were heading south. This state park is basically in the middle of a neighborhood of a small community. Locals seem to love it but it’s not crowded at all.. It’s right on a small lake with a boat ramp and a small beach. The campground is small… about 8 or 9 sites with w/e and about a dozen sites with dry camping. All the sites are paved (even the dry camping sites) and level. Grassy and shady on most sites. Two bathhouses and a dump on site. Picnic tables and fire rings at each site. They also have a couple of cabins available. No store but there is a few things close by to get ice and a few things. It is totally fenced and gated. The gates close at 10pm and open at 6am. Very peaceful and enjoyable!

    Cottonwood Campground — Willard Bay State Park

    State campground close to highway

    Two loops that we saw, the first has no hook ups and the second has power and water at each site. There’s a little paved slab with a picnic table and covering, each site has a fire pit and charcoal grill. $30 for no hook ups $40 for hookups, got in around 8pm and no $30 sites left. There are toilets and showers for each loop. Really close to the highway so be prepared for that noise, and there’s a train that goes by every so often.

    Mountain Valley RV Resort

    Mountain Valley RV Resort, Utah

    One of our all time favorite RV parks. Located in beautiful Heber City, Utah. We felt at home as soon as we arrived and were greeted by a nice man on a golf cart who lead us to where we’d be staying. There is an adult only section if you’re looking for peace and quiet away from kids. The concrete was level and spacious, each with its own picnic table.

    They have two dog parks, one of which is the nicest and largest one we’ve seen thus far. The laundry room was sparkling clean and located adjacent to the pickle ball courts and outdoor fire pits. They have an on-site RV wash available and allowed us to borrow an adaptor from them at no charge. We enjoyed an evening in their hot tub/spa. They also have a large pool area near the bathrooms that were the most well maintained bathrooms we’ve ever used on the road. To top it all off, they have a gorgeous fitness center with weights, a treadmill and elliptical available to all guests.

    Overall we were extremely impressed with all amenities and the customer service provided at Mountain Valley RV Resort and would recommend it highly to anyone visiting the area.


Guide to Kaysville

Cabin camping near Kaysville, Utah offers access to mountain environments between 4,000-7,000 feet elevation with seasonal temperature variations ranging from below freezing in winter to 90°F in summer. Situated between the Wasatch Mountains and Great Salt Lake, the area's cabin accommodations provide protection from unpredictable mountain weather patterns that can include afternoon thunderstorms in summer and heavy snowfall from November through April.

What to do

Wildlife viewing at Antelope Island State Park: Both Bridger Bay and Ladyfinger campgrounds offer excellent wildlife observation opportunities. "This place is weird and awesome. There's bison roaming around, badgers, and tons of great birds to watch," reports one camper at Bridger Bay Campground. The island features multiple hiking trails with varying difficulty levels where visitors can spot native species.

Mountain biking near North Fork: The extensive trail network surrounding North Fork County Park provides terrain for various skill levels. "Had a great stay at North Fork. Camped in the canyon near the trailheaad for the waterfall hike. We stayed at campsite 6 which was great, but they were all really nice. Excellent mountain bike trails also," notes a recent visitor. The park maintains over 15 miles of designated biking routes.

Water recreation at East Canyon: Cabin guests can participate in fishing, swimming and boating activities. "Great family place, large tent sites, bathroom, beautiful views, and clean water," mentions a visitor. The reservoir supports smallmouth bass fishing with rental equipment available seasonally at nearby marinas.

What campers like

Private cabins with mountain views: Cabins at East Canyon State Park feature scenic vistas. "We stayed in a yurt and it was an amazing experience! The yurt had a cozy gas powered fireplace. It got down to about 30 degrees but we were actually too hot. Beautiful views of the lake and mountains. Woke up to deer outside our yurt," reports one visitor. Many cabins include covered outdoor areas for weather protection.

Year-round accessibility: Unlike tent camping, cabin accommodations at Pony Express RV Resort remain available during colder months. "Convenient location right off the highway with full hook ups and nice paved sites. Dog areas, playground, games, and a pool. Easy access to the Jordan River Trail for running, biking, or sunset walks," notes a camper. The resort maintains plowed access roads during winter months.

Nature immersion with basic comforts: Cabin sites balance outdoor experiences with essential amenities. "Picturesque landscape. Beautiful island in the middle of the Great Salt Lake. The bison are free grazing all around and a few came right up to our campground in the early morning!" states a Bridger Bay visitor. Most cabins include electricity while maintaining proximity to natural areas.

What you should know

Seasonal pest challenges: Insect activity varies dramatically by season at waterfront locations. At Ladyfinger Campground, one camper reports: "Lovely scenery, water is currently off so no showers but has a clean pit toilet. Only downside was the no see um flys you can't for a walk without getting swarmed by them and bitten. Best to visit in the autumn when the flys have gone." Biting insects are most active May through August.

Water level fluctuations: Reservoir levels change significantly throughout the year affecting shoreline access. "The state park is on the northeast shore of the lake and features lots of good fishing as well as picnic areas and some exposed hot hiking trails. Water level has been steadily dropping here as with most waterbodies in the state this year," notes a visitor to East Canyon.

Reservation requirements vary seasonally: Peak summer months require advance planning. "We (3 kids, 3 adults, 3 dogs, and a cat) found Pony Express and were extremely pleased. The GPS carjacked us and the resort was a bit difficult to find but once we did it was excellent," reports one visitor. Most cabin facilities require reservations 3-6 months in advance for summer weekends.

Tips for camping with families

Child-friendly amenities: Look for cabins with dedicated play areas and safe water access. At Anderson Cove, "There was a lot of space to be spread out from others. 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," according to one family.

Multi-generation accommodations: Some cabins accommodate larger family groups. "This is a great place for a family reunion. We enjoyed the camp site and the short walk to the lake. Facilities were clean and staff was great," notes a visitor to Anderson Cove. Request specific cabin capacity when making reservations.

Off-peak visits for quieter experiences: Weekday cabin stays offer less crowded conditions. "Gets extremely busy on weekends but nice and quiet on the weekdays. Checked in on a Wednesday afternoon for FCFS site. Plenty open," reports a camper. School-year weekends often have better availability.

Tips from RVers

Full hookup alternatives to cabins: For self-contained camping, several parks offer both cabin and RV options. The Brigham City-Perry South KOA provides "Very clean and pet friendly. Can see mountains all around you. Great WiFi and good water. Three dog parks and dog washing bay," according to a visitor. The park operates from March through October with both cabin and RV sites.

Site selection considerations: Choose cabin locations based on specific needs. "The sites are a little close and it is a very family friendly campground. It is a really fun campground though! We rode bikes and paddle boarded," notes a visitor to Anderson Cove. Corner cabins typically offer more privacy and better views than interior locations.

Seasonal amenity availability: Water and electrical services vary throughout the year. "My god-father and mother come into town yearly and stay at this location in their 5th wheel. The facility is spotless! Seriously, the staff keep the entire grounds in great condition," reports a visitor to Pony Express RV Resort.
