What to do
Fishing opportunities: The Echo Island RV Resort cabins provide access to on-site fishing. "My family and I have been coming here for years. It has a lot of trailer spots that are almost all pull throughs and have hook ups. It's fun to bring kayaks and float the river," notes Jake V.
Mountain biking trails: Cabin accommodations at Jordanelle State Park serve as a convenient hub for nearby trails. "Jordanelle resevoir is a destination of its own but is a 10 minute drive from Park City.

Winter activities: The cabin units at Wasatch Mountain State Park remain accessible during winter months with nearby snowshoeing routes. "This campground has 3 loops. 1 for tents, 1 for medium size trailers. 1 for large trailers. Check the website or call the guard station before booking to double check," advises David T.

Proximity to cities: Many campers appreciate cabin accommodations at River's Edge at Heber Valley for their strategic location. "We loved our time at this beautiful park so much we added an extra day to our trip. The customer service was excellent- there was a friendly family vibe. Everything was very clean. The river is right across the street as well as a nice little walking path. Park City and Heber are just a short drive away," states Amy H.
Multiple recreation areas: The Springville/Provo KOA Holiday provides cabin accommodations with diverse activity options. "This park is pretty and in a beautiful location. However, the spots are small and tight. Our slide was in our neighbors yard area, we were both there for only one night, so we made it work," notes Sarina.
What you should know
Seasonal closures: Several cabin locations operate on limited schedules, with some closing completely from October through April. "Tanners flat is a close trip up Little Cottonwood Canyon. NO Dogs allowed in the canyon- it is a watershed. Very popular spot for locals to day trip or weekend trip," reports Andrea P.
Advance reservations required: Summer cabin bookings in the area should be made 3-6 months in advance, especially for weekend stays. "It can be tricky to get a spot here in the summer. Make sure to call ahead!" advises Joseph L. regarding cabin availability at Tanners Flat.
Noise considerations: Some cabin locations experience traffic noise due to proximity to roadways. "A lot of road noise and the 30amp electric did not work at our site, site 151. Front office was closed and no one returned our call when we called the number provided," shares Kelly P. about their Echo Island RV Resort experience.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Cabins at River's Edge feature dedicated play areas for children. "We have two dogs and there's lots of grass for them to play in. We don't have children but there's a very nice playground and small pond where they can fish - catch and release," observes CJ L.
Swimming options: Multiple cabin locations offer swimming facilities from late May through September. "This RV park is by far the nicest park I've ever stayed at. I've had the unique experience of living at this RV park for the last 6 months and my opinion of this place has only gotten better over time. The facilities are very new and always clean, nice big private restrooms with showers, two laundry facilities, two hot tubs and two pools," describes Zoe M. about Mountain Valley RV Resort.
Indoor amenities: For rainy days, some cabin locations provide indoor recreation options. "Nice clubhouse with pool table, foosball, large TV, comfy chairs, guest kitchen area.

Tips from RVers
Site selection guidance: RVers staying in cabin accommodations should check for level surfaces. "Site 56 was fairly level and had decent shade and access to the showers/bathrooms with still good privacy in the trees. Bathrooms very clean. Road cyclists: excellent access to Empire Pass," shares Mark M. about Cabins at Wasatch Mountain State Park.
Morning temperature variations: Cabin campers should prepare for significant morning temperature swings, especially in spring and fall. "Given how close it is to the city, Tanners Flat has always been a little too busy for our family during the full swing of summer. After finally staying here, we realized the views and proximity to hikes makes it well worth it! September/early October gives cooler temperatures and less crowds," explains Sara M.
Pet facilities: Several locations offer dedicated pet areas near cabin accommodations. "We have already been here for 3 nights and are staying a week. The grounds are so well-maintained. We have two dogs and there's lots of grass for them to play in," shares CJ L. about their experience at River's Edge at Heber Valley.
