Cabins near Lewiston, Utah occupy the Cache Valley area at elevations between 4,500-5,000 feet, with summer temperatures averaging 85°F and winter lows frequently below freezing. The region features rolling farmland against a mountain backdrop with access to fishing waters and hiking trails. Overnight accommodations range from rustic A-frame structures to fully-equipped lodging with lakeside views.
What to do
Fishing in Hyrum Reservoir: Anglers can access fishing at Hyrum State Park Campground where largemouth bass, rainbow trout, and bluegill populate the small lake. "It's right on a small lake with a boat ramp and a small beach. Locals seem to love it but it's not crowded at all," notes one visitor.
Hiking nearby trails: The area around Cub River provides access to multiple mountain paths. "Great spot to unwind. Lots of space for people," shares one camper about Cub River Lodge & RV Park. Another visitor mentions, "We have been so blessed to have shared fun times on razor rides on all the many trails up the Mountainside."
Water recreation activities: Summer visitors enjoy swimming and boating at Bear Lake. "This campground is also a day use area for boats so there is beach access which is great," reports a camper about the facilities at Hyrum State Park.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Bathrooms and shower buildings receive consistent praise from visitors. "Great bathrooms and a great view of the lake! Felt much safer than other rustic options nearby," mentions a camper about Sun Outdoors Garden City Utah. Another notes, "The bathhouse was very clean. Did seem less busy than the KOA."
Family-friendly amenities: Many cabin locations offer additional activities beyond sleeping accommodations. At Bear Lake/Marina Side KOA Holiday, "There is an amazing playground for kids, swimming pool, and jumping pillow. It really feels like a resort."
Hot springs access: Several cabin options provide natural hot water experiences. "In the winter time the hot pools were 100 feet away and a heated swimming pool. In the summer time the pool is nice and cold and there are water slides," explains a visitor to Downata Hot Springs.
What you should know
Seasonal availability: Many facilities close during winter months. Bear Lake/Marina Side KOA Holiday operates "April 1 to October 15" according to their listing information, while others maintain year-round operations.
Site spacing varies significantly: Some cabins offer privacy while others place guests in close proximity. "The sites have shadow from trees (not all)," notes one camper at Bear Lake/Marina Side KOA, while Brigham City-Perry South KOA receives this observation: "They pack them in tight here! Each pitch is no wider than 15', which actually makes it pretty challenging to back in."
Utility hookups: Not all cabin locations offer full services. "No sewer, electricity and water at most sites," reports a camper about Downata Hot Springs, while other locations provide complete hookups but may lack consistent WiFi or cell service.
Tips for camping with families
Cabin size options: Family-sized cabin rentals vary significantly. "We had a cabin with a loft. They are super cozy, and come with a full kitchen. The loft above had 2 twin beds, the main floor had a full size bed, futon, closet, full kitchen and a bathroom with both shower and tub," describes a visitor to Downata Hot Springs.
Activity variety: Locations with multiple recreation options receive high marks from families. "There is a center grass location that's great for kids to play," mentions a Cub River Lodge visitor, while another campground offers "basketball, pickle ball, bounce area, mini golf, shuffle board, sand volleyball, and a pool."
Quieter alternatives: For families seeking less crowded accommodations, Bear Lake/Trail Side KOA Journey provides a calmer alternative. "Smaller in size and way less amenities than the other KOA but way more quiet. If you're looking to have a more peaceful stay, this is your place."
Tips from RVers
After-hours procedures: Late arrivals should check for special instructions. "We stopped here for one night driving from Albuquerque to Yellowstone, it was a great place to spend the night. The staff were very friendly and helpful," reports a Brigham City-Perry South KOA camper, while another mentions "Nice and helpful staff when booking late in the day. After hours pick up was easy and site was clean."
Utility information: RV campers note varying quality of hookups between locations. "Excellent wifi," reports one visitor to Brigham City-Perry South KOA, while others mention inconsistent service at some campgrounds due to location or user volume.
Proximity to essentials: Some camping areas provide better access to supplies than others. Sun Outdoors Garden City Utah notes its location provides "full hookups, picnic tables, and wifi," while another Bear Lake location offers "ACS hardware and a full grocery store next door."
