Cabin accommodations near Marysvale sit at elevations ranging from 5,800 to 6,500 feet, offering moderate temperatures that average 85°F in summer and drop to 20°F during winter months. The area serves as a gateway to the Paiute ATV trail system with over 900 miles of interconnected routes. Cabin options include renovated historic structures, modern units with basic amenities, and luxury options with private yards.
What to do
Trail riding access: Most cabin properties in the Marysvale area provide direct access to the Paiute Trail system. At South Forty RV Park, cabins put you right on the trail network. "Paiute Trail access right from the RV Park. Each site has a tree! The park is tucked in a beautiful canyon, and surrounded by mountains," notes Casey G., highlighting the convenient location.
Fishing opportunities: Several cabin properties offer proximity to fishing spots. The Sevier River runs alongside many accommodations, with rainbow and brown trout being common catches. "We walked down to the river and fished for small fish. The owners are very friendly and stopped by multiple times to see if we needed anything," shares one visitor about their experience at the riverside cabins.
Hot springs soaking: Mystic Hot Springs features unique cabin and converted bus accommodations with 24-hour access to mineral pools. "Amazing soaking and star gazing, and surprisingly easy soaking. The hot springs are amazing and it is beautiful," explains Steven E. Cabins here place guests within walking distance of multiple soaking tubs built into the hillside.
What campers like
Unique accommodations: Beyond standard cabins, some properties offer distinctive lodging experiences. "Stayed in an old bus turned into cute little camp spot. Stayed here in the dead of winter and was very comfy and cozy. Bus had heated blankets and was thoughtfully set up," reports Leigh-Anne H. about her winter stay at Mystic Hot Springs.
Wildlife viewing: Many cabin areas feature resident and migratory wildlife. "There is a fishing pond that was also home to geese, ducks and other birds. A river runs along two sides of the park. There is also an enclosure containing chickens and turkeys," writes Richard about his experience at Sevier River RV Park, where feeding the birds became an activity for young visitors.
Location convenience: Cabin accommodations provide strategic access to multiple recreation areas. "Medium sized campground... It's ok for a one night stop but don't think you'd want to stay longer," mentions Roxanna L. about using the Richfield cabins as a basecamp. Many visitors use Marysvale cabin locations as mid-points between national parks and monuments.
What you should know
Seasonal operations: Operation schedules vary significantly between properties. While the existing guide mentions seasonal closures for South Forty RV Park, other considerations exist. "Stayed here in the summer and winter. Stayed in one of their buses and camped. Both times have been fun experiences," notes Sarah S., explaining that Mystic Hot Springs operates year-round but with different accommodations available seasonally.
Cleanliness standards: Maintenance quality varies between properties. "Sites are well maintained and groomed daily, as well as clean," notes one visitor about maintained properties, while others mention more rustic conditions. "The camping here isn't for everyone, but if you read up ahead of time, you won't be disappointed," advises Sarah S., suggesting prospective guests should research specific cabins before booking.
Noise considerations: Highway proximity affects some properties. "OK, but quite a bit of freeway noise due to proximity and acoustics of site," writes John K. about his experience at Sam Stowe Campground. Cabins farther from I-70 generally offer quieter surroundings, while those closer to highways provide easier access but more ambient noise.
Tips for camping with families
Cultural exploration: Combine cabin stays with educational opportunities at nearby state parks. "Great hiking trail at the rear of the campground. Goes up the canyon. Visited the various sites for Rock Art through the park. Great stuff," shares Wayne F. about staying near petroglyphs at Fremont Indian State Park, where cabin accommodations provide access to interpretive trails suitable for children.
Pool access: Several cabin locations offer swimming facilities for children during summer months. "Kids loved the pool and the playground! Tent pitching mostly on gravel. Hookups have multiple options. Very kind staff," reports Yasemin Y. about her family's experience at Beaver KOA, where cabin accommodations include recreation amenities.
Wildlife interactions: Many cabin properties feature opportunities for children to interact with resident animals. "The office provided food so our 3 year old granddaughter could feed those birds," mentions Richard about the structured wildlife activities available at Sevier River RV Park, where cabins place families near animal enclosures.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: When booking cabin accommodations that also serve RVs, location within the property matters. "Reserved a 'Long and Shady' site, but it had no shade in the afternoon. That would be site 48. It has two very young, apparently dead trees," cautions Janette C. about her experience at Richfield KOA, suggesting guests request specific cabin locations based on shade and proximity preferences.
Utility connections: For cabins with utility hookups, quality varies between properties. "Hookups are in excellent condition. Neighbors could be a little close if the place is full. Sites did not included a table, but there was plenty of room to set up outside," explains Richard about Sevier River RV Park, noting that even furnished cabins may lack outdoor furniture.
Internet access: Connectivity varies widely between cabin locations. "We had 3 bar LTE with Verizon. I was able to use my hotspot, though had trouble posting on Facebook later in the day," shares Richard about connectivity at one location, while another visitor notes "WiFi is sporadic but the quietness from spam callers is also nice" at Otter Creek State Park's cabins.
