What you should know

Utility connections: Cabins with electric service have usage limitations to prevent overloading circuits. "Be careful hooking up your RV to water. Very high pressure."
Tips for camping with families

Activity variety: Look for cabins with multiple recreation options on-site. "Nice place with trees and large play areas for kids. On-site liquor store. RV spaces kinda closely packed but still big enough to get our awning out," explains a visitor to River's Edge at Heber Valley.
Transportation options: For walk-in cabin sites, check whether transport assistance is available. "This is a hike in area of camping. Luckily the park provides free wagons so that you can pack up and hike to your area. The hike is about a quarter mile."
