Best Cabin Camping near Neola, UT

Cabins near Neola, Utah include furnished accommodations at Steinaker State Park and Red Fleet State Park with both providing electricity and basic amenities. Steinaker's Dippy Cabin offers private access with kitchen facilities including a mini-fridge and microwave. "Wow! We spent 3 nights at Dippy Cabin and what a fantastic place! Amazing views, private drive, mini fridge, and microwave. Full size bunk beds, porch, and grill," notes one camper who stayed at the park. Red Fleet provides more rustic accommodations with multiple cabin options, all within walking distance to the lake for fishing and water activities.

Rustic guard station cabins provide off-grid experiences in the surrounding Ashley National Forest. Paradise Guard Station accommodates pets and includes toilet facilities but lacks electrical hookups or running water. The Vernal/Dinosaurland KOA offers more developed cabin options with amenities including electricity and nearby bathroom facilities with showers. A recent review mentioned, "We hadn't done much research in this area and hadn't planned where to go so we decided to 'glamp' at the KOA. For a KOA this was pretty nice. Restrooms were clean." Most cabins require reservations, especially during summer months when availability becomes limited.

Most forest service cabins require guests to bring bedding, lighting, and water supplies. "Remember to bring your own bedding and water," advises a camper who stayed at Colton Guard Station. Yurts and remote cabins typically provide basic cooking equipment including propane stoves and wood for heating, but personal items remain the responsibility of guests. KOA and state park cabins generally offer more amenities but still require personal linens. Moon Lake's nearby resort provides a small store with basic necessities should campers forget essential items, though selection is limited.

    Grizzly Ridge Yurt

    A toasty warm end of summer night at Grizzly Ridge Yurt, Ashley National Forest.

    We backpacked into Grizzly Ridge Yurt for a one night stay late this last summer. What a fun and beautiful place to stay. The Yurt is situated in a clearing at about 9000 feet. It's surrounded by pine and aspen trees, and at night from the front porch you can see the lights of Vernal in the distance. There is a fire ring located just below the yurt, with plenty of fire wood provided. The yurt is well stocked with two double bunk beds, a propane cooking stove, plenty of pots and pans, and a wood burning stove which kept us TOASTY WARM all night! Remember your own bedding, plenty of water, and lighting (no electricity or water at the yurt). We thoroughly enjoyed reading stories from the guest book.

    Colton Guard Station

    A weekend snowshoe into Colton Gaurd Station, Ashley National Forest, UT.

    Last spring we snowshoed into the Colton Guard Station. What a fun experience! It's about a five mile snowshoe from Highway 40. There is a gate in the winter preventing you from going any further than the parking lot on Forest Road 020. There is a cabin and bunkhouse on the complex, both with wood burning stoves (wood provided). The cabin has a set of twin bunk beds, and a futon that folds out. The bunk house has several twin beds with mattresses. There is an old outhouse that you can use in the winter (no running water to the guard station that time of year). We had so much fun playing games by the warmth of the wood burning stove and sledding down the surrounding hills. Our four legged friend enjoyed being able to accompany us on our adventure. Remember to bring your own bedding and water.

    Moon Lake Campground

    Beautiful Lake, Clean/Modern Campground

    Moon Lake Campground is a clean and modern campground on the shores of a beautiful high mountain lake. The spots can be a little close together, but they are well developed. The bathrooms are modern for a national forest campground with running water, electricity, flushing toilets and ventilation fans. The camp host did an excellent job of daily cleaning and stocking of the campground. Just feet outside the campground is a private resort with rustic cabins and a lodge. The lodge store provides basic necessities in the event you forgot something, as well as an ice cream bar with sundaes and soda on tap. The lodge provides rentals of kayaks and small fishing boats. It even has a taco truck out front. All around, our family ranks Moon Lake near the top of our favorite camping spots.

    Steinaker State Park Campground

    Always Busy

    This is a great lil campground although I feel like they tried to cram alot of campsites right on top of each other. All sites have picnic tables and firepits with a grill. Its kinda a dry vegetation in the park mostly sage brush and junipers, Some bigger shadier trees towards the lake but you better book those way in advance cause they fill up fast. They have small sites, tent sites, many large pull through sites, and even one small cabin. I did notice 3 bathroom facilities in spread throughout the park though and water spigots throughout. They have recently built a nature trail that runs from the side of the lake around to the front of it so thats a nice lil jont. They do also offer one group site that has a pavilion. This campground is not for anyone that doesnt like to be seen cause most likely you'll have a neighbor right next to you, above you, or below you.

    Red Fleet State Park Campground

    I love this place!!!

    I have been camping here for about 30 years and I'm only 30 years old. My family and our camp friends have been going here, year after year, for the great camp sites, fun hiking and most of all, the sublime waterskiing. To keep it fairly brief, the camp sites are mainly situated around a large, open, slightly uneven grass area which is great for tent camping and day activities (volleyball, frisbee, catch, BBQing.) Not much shade from the smaller trees but there are shaded picnic tables for each site. Around that are the RV sites with full hookups. The surrounding tent sites are in a more desert like, sandy area where I haven't spent much camp time. The bathrooms are usually clean and in good working order with running water, but nothing fancy (no showers.) The lake has a plethora of awesome acitivites including boating, kayaking, canoeing, swimming, cliff jumping, fishing and does provide some rentals. We usually try to go during the week as it does get quite busy/crowded on weekends.

    Grizzly Ridge Yurt

    Adventure at it's finest

    Grizzly Ridge yurt can be accessed in Winter or Summer, by snowshoeing, snowmobiling, 4 wheel drive or hiking in. We decided to hike into the yurt. The hike itself is about 4.5 miles with a 1200 feet elevation gain, it is a good trail and easy to follow. The yurt itself has a nice outside deck, two double bunk beds, wood stove, cook stove and some pans and utensils. People leave cleaning supplies and overall the yurt was pretty clean. The view is outstanding. There is not running water, so make sure you bring plenty... or melt snow in the winter. There is an outhouse on site. There was an occasional 4 wheeler that would come by, but other then that it was complete solitude. They have a journal on site for people to log their experience. It is worth reading.


Guide to Neola

Cabin camping near Neola, Utah offers options ranging from rustic forest service facilities to more developed accommodations with modern amenities. Located in the Ashley National Forest at approximately 7,000 feet elevation, the area experiences warm summer days with cool evenings and occasional afternoon thunderstorms. Winter brings heavy snowfall, limiting cabin access from late fall through early spring.

What to do

Fishing at local lakes: Moon Lake Campground provides direct lake access for fishing with rentals available. "We love to rent a boat and go fishing(we use the little gold and silver jakes fish hooks) and then we serve them up over the campfire," notes a camper who visits annually at Moon Lake Campground.

Water activities in summer: The reservoirs offer multiple water recreation options. "The water is refreshing to swim, water ski, paddle board or any water sport. Lots of fish in the lake and craw fish," explains a visitor at Indian Bay Campground.

Hiking nearby trails: Several hiking paths surround the cabin areas. "There are many walking trails and atv trails accessible from this campground," states a reviewer about the trails at Steinaker State Park.

Dinosaur tracks exploration: A unique local attraction involves kayaking to prehistoric sites. "Our absolute favorite part of this campground is the ability to rent kayaks and kayak over to see the dinosaur footprints. This was our first time seeing anything of the like, and it absolutely blew our minds," shares a camper at Red Fleet State Park Campground.

What campers like

Privacy at select sites: Some cabin locations offer more seclusion than others. "Some sites are close but others are set alone for privacy. Short hilly walk to the lake depending on which site your in," explains a reviewer at Steinaker State Park.

Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain their amenities well. "The camp host did an excellent job of daily cleaning and stocking of the campground," reports a visitor at Moon Lake Campground about the bathrooms and common areas.

Nature observation: Wildlife viewing opportunities exist throughout the region. "We saw several deer throughout the day. There are a few hiking trails and they offer horse rides as well," notes a camper at Moon Lake Group Campground.

Convenience stores: Several locations have small markets for basic needs. "The Moon Lake Lodge has some cabins that you can stay in and they have a nice little store that has some essentials there including ice cream," mentions a recent visitor describing the amenities.

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Most cabins require advance booking, especially during peak season. "They take reservations so that is your best option," advises an Indian Bay Campground visitor about securing spots during summer months.

Weather considerations: The area experiences significant seasonal changes. "We camped in August and temperatures were in the high 90's, maybe 100 degrees. That made things hot. The nights were great. Clear skies made looking at stars wonderful," shares a camper at Moon Lake.

Insect preparation: Bugs can be problematic in warmer months. "The bugs were pretty bad. Gnats that would bite and leave some pretty big welts. Bring plenty of bug spray," warns a Moon Lake visitor.

Site differences: Cabin and campsite quality varies by location. "The spaces are large, level, and easy to get into. I think they all have electricity and water. They are paved, as are the roadways," describes a camper at Mountain View Campground.

Tips for camping with families

Activity options for children: Several campgrounds offer family-friendly facilities. "The family had a blast. The camping area is all paved and the kids loved riding their bikes all day," shares a Mountain View visitor about their experience with children.

Swimming areas: Designated beach zones provide safer water access. "It's just a short drive down to the water with a beach area," notes a reviewer, though they caution "the water was freezing."

Kid-friendly rentals: Some locations offer recreational equipment specifically for younger visitors. "They also rent 3-wheel cycles for kids to ride up and down terrorizing everyone," mentions a reviewer at KOA Campground Vernal.

Playground facilities: Recreation areas supplement water activities. "Lots of activities for families (pool, play area), small dog area, clean restrooms, staff was very friendly," describes a KOA visitor.

Tips from RVers

Hookup availability: Electric and water connections exist at most developed sites. "Steinaker State Park and Campground is located about five miles north of Vernal, UT. The campground is beautiful, and the campsites vary between desert vegetation, large shady cottonwoods, and sandy beaches."

Site selection guidance: Some RV spots offer better experiences than others. "I was glad I had a back-in site around the edge of the loop. I loved the view. The pull through sites in the middle were super close together that left little room for slide outs and entry/exit from the trailers unless you were in the end."

Dump station locations: Know where services are available. "No sewer available in the site, but they do have a dump station," notes a Mountain View Campground visitor detailing the RV facilities.
