Monroe cabin rentals offer year-round access to scenic central Utah landscapes at 5,400 feet elevation. The area sits near the eastern edge of the Fishlake National Forest where visitors find temperatures ranging from winter lows in the 20s to summer highs in the 90s. Most cabin properties operate from spring through fall, though some remain open during winter months.
What to do
Explore hot springs soaking pools: Mystic Hot Springs features mineral-rich soaking tubs and pools open 24/7. "The hot springs are amazing and it is beautiful. The camping and actual resort area does not live up to the potential of what it could be. Still is a beautiful area," notes Kelli R. in her review of Mystic Hot Springs.
Discover ancient rock art: A short drive from cabin accommodations, Fremont Indian State Park houses significant petroglyphs along accessible trails. "The campground is really nice and just a few miles off of I-70 and about 6 miles east of I-15. There is a nice trail out of the south end of the campground that follows a stream," explains Troy L. in his review of Fremont Indian State Park.
Fish in mountain waters: Cabin rentals provide access to nearby lakes and streams with trout fishing. "If you like to fish they have 20-40lb mackinaw trout. There are several camping sites around the lake but this one in my opinion has the best views of the lake and ambiance," reports Alicia F. about Bowery Creek.
Access OHV trails: Many cabin properties offer direct access to extensive OHV trail systems. "There are access to the trails right from the campground and the owners are very knowledgeable about the trails that you should ride given the amount of time you are staying," writes Shad G. in his review of South Forty RV Park.
What campers like
Year-round access options: Several cabin rentals near Monroe remain open during winter months. "Stayed in an old bus turned into camp spot. Stayed here in the dead of winter and was very comfy and cozy," notes Frederick S. about his winter stay at Mystic Hot Springs.
Nature viewing opportunities: Cabins often include wildlife viewing areas. "Ducks, geese and some stunning peacocks running around. It was a great experience and can't wait to go back!" shares Thomas B. about his stay at Mystic Hot Springs.
Proximity to hiking trails: Many cabin locations connect directly to trail systems. "There is a gorgeous paved bike path that runs along the river, nearby," mentions Casey G. in her review of South Forty RV Park.
Clean facilities: Cabin guests appreciate well-maintained restrooms and showers. "Showers, bathrooms, and common areas were spotless," writes Kristi R. about her stay at Fillmore KOA.
What you should know
Reservations recommended: Most cabin properties fill quickly, especially during peak season. "We'd planned a 3-night stay in a site toward the outer edge of the park under the trees. What we quickly decided was that we'd give it one night and see if we still wanted to stay," shares Robin G. about her stay at Sevier River RV Park.
Variable amenities: Cabin facilities differ significantly between properties. "Camp hosts do a great job keeping the bathrooms clean and the sites free of debris between campers," notes Benjamin B. about Fremont Indian State Park.
Fire restrictions: Some properties do not permit individual campfires at cabin sites. "The only down side was no personal firepits at campsites. The community fire was ok but when we tried to go enjoy it another larger group than us pretty much bullied us away," reports Heather R. about her experience at Bowery Haven Resort.
Pet policies vary: While many cabins allow pets, restrictions apply at certain properties. "There are some pretty strict rules with dogs, sewer lines, and washing UTVs/ATVs in your site. However, the camp is very clean so it appears the rules are working," explains Shad G. about South Forty RV Park.
Tips for camping with families
Bring outdoor games: Cabin sites typically include outdoor spaces for recreation. "The sites are wide and long enough to accommodate your tow rig, trailer, and SxS and they don't charge an extra vehicle fee for the SxS," notes Shad G. about South Forty RV Park.
Pack all necessary bedding: Most cabin rentals require guests to bring their own linens. "Bus had heated blankets and was thoughtfully set up," shares Leigh-Anne H. about Mystic Hot Springs.
Check for family-friendly activities: Some properties offer additional amenities for children. "The KOA pool and spa were great. Sites are very close together and not all sites that say have a fire pit actually do," mentions Preston G. about his family's stay at Fillmore KOA.
Consider proximity to town services: Cabin locations vary in distance from grocery and medical services. "Fillmore has a Best Western with a golf course, a few gas stations and a Carls Jr," notes Coleen B. in her review of Wagons West RV Campground.
Tips from RVers
Check site size limitations: Not all cabin properties accommodate larger RVs. "Long pull through spaces. Very quiet, and still dark enough at night to see the stars," writes Don W. about Wagons West RV Campground.
Verify hookup locations: Some properties have unusual hookup configurations. "RV area was taken care of and provided full hook up. Some of which were further away than standard sized hoses and cord so be prepared," cautions Heather R. about Bowery Haven Resort.
Bring leveling equipment: Some cabin and RV sites require significant leveling. "We made the mistake of choosing site 22 which would have been great for tents but even though it is large it is unlevel and took 4 2x6 to level the trailer," explains Troy L. about Fremont Indian State Park.
Consider seasonal operation: Many properties close during winter months. "Wagons West RV Campground operates all year while Fillmore KOA operates from March through November," notes the campground information.
