Best Cabin Camping near West Valley City, UT

Cabin accommodations near West Valley City range from basic furnished units to fully-equipped lodging at several state parks and private resorts. Pony Express RV Resort offers cabin rentals with modern amenities including electricity, running water, and climate control. Jordanelle State Park's Hailstone campground features cabin options with picnic tables and fire rings, providing easy access to reservoir activities. Most cabins include electricity and basic furnishings while offering mountain views. Bridger Bay Campground at Antelope Island State Park provides cabin options with covered picnic areas. "The site had a cement pad with a picnic table, a fire ring, and a grill," noted one visitor about their cabin experience at a nearby state park.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Echo Island RV Resort maintains year-round cabin rentals with varying sizes to accommodate couples or families. Pine Creek Campground in Wasatch Mountain State Park offers cabins with electricity and water hookups. Reservations are typically required, especially during summer months from May through September when demand peaks. Most cabins allow pets with restrictions, though Tanners Flat specifically prohibits dogs since it's located in Salt Lake City's watershed area. A camper wrote: "Very clean and well kept! Also dog friendly, so that was good," about their experience at a state park cabin.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Basic kitchenette facilities vary widely between properties - some offer only outdoor grills while others provide indoor cooking options. Mountain Valley RV Resort cabins feature more amenities than wilderness locations, including access to shower facilities, pools, and community areas. Nearby markets exist at select locations like Pony Express RV Resort, but supplies are limited. For extended stays, grocery shopping in West Valley City before arrival is recommended, as many cabin sites are 30-60 minutes from major shopping areas.

    Dixie Creek Campground — East Canyon State Park

    A good example of how government campsites should be done

    Overall, the facility is neat and clean for a campground. My visit was at the end of the 4th weekend, so some messes were expected. My campsite was in good shape upon setting up my 30ft trailer. All sites are back-in and mostly flat asphalt. A little rig leveling might be needed. The outside of the loop at Dixie C.G. is electric and water only. The inside of the loop has full hook-ups. 

     All sites have long, sturdy metal tables and a metal cover over a concrete pad. A fire pit was adjacent. Even with fire restrictions almost everywhere else in Utah, wood fires were permitted in the provided pit. Common area toilets are well maintained, containing flush toilets and running water. Most service buildings also contain free showers.

    A one-star deduction is due to the effects of climate change, which is out of the Park's control to an extent. That said, my beef is with maintenance of the beach - a nice beach by the way. It's obvious where the historical water level use to be. Wish I could have seen the reservoir full because it may never happen again. But I digress. I think the park should rake or scrape the beach surface to remove offensive weeds and people's discards. That takes workers, budget and equipment. My guess is our State representatives lack interest to fund state parks for such mediation measures. It would greatly enhance the visual appeal and safety for families at the water's edge.

    Hailstone - Upper Fisher Campground — Jordanelle State Park

    Immaculately maintained campground

    We stayed for only one night, but I would come back here in a heartbeat! Big, clean bathrooms with running water, mirrors, flushing toilets, & hot showers. Gorgeous view of the lake - you can walk right down to the water from your site. Super friendly staff. Tent pads are all level and maintained after each camper. Has all the other essentials- clean picnic table, big clean fire pit, and a charcoal grill.

    Dixie Creek Campground — East Canyon State Park

    Decent water destination!

    We went during the summer and had a great time. The views were perfect and the lake is active with choice of water fun rentals. The site is standard with a small lawn area and a pavilion. Bathrooms are onsite as well as showers. Pet friendly but need to be on a leash at all times. Great for RV’s as power and water is present on each site.

    Mountain Valley RV Resort, Utah

    One of our all time favorite RV parks. Located in beautiful Heber City, Utah. We felt at home as soon as we arrived and were greeted by a nice man on a golf cart who lead us to where we’d be staying. There is an adult only section if you’re looking for peace and quiet away from kids. The concrete was level and spacious, each with its own picnic table.

    They have two dog parks, one of which is the nicest and largest one we’ve seen thus far. The laundry room was sparkling clean and located adjacent to the pickle ball courts and outdoor fire pits. They have an on-site RV wash available and allowed us to borrow an adaptor from them at no charge. We enjoyed an evening in their hot tub/spa. They also have a large pool area near the bathrooms that were the most well maintained bathrooms we’ve ever used on the road. To top it all off, they have a gorgeous fitness center with weights, a treadmill and elliptical available to all guests.

    Overall we were extremely impressed with all amenities and the customer service provided at Mountain Valley RV Resort and would recommend it highly to anyone visiting the area.

    Tanners Flat

    Good location for exploring Wasatch Mountains and Salt Lake City

    You really need to know this: No dogs are allowed because this campground is in the Salt Lake City watershed.

    And this: As inviting as the water running through the campground may look, you are not allowed to swim, wade or wash in it.

    One more thing: Gate closes at 10 pm although that didn't stop some partiers at the next site in from us. They partied and left around 11 or so. There was no payment tag on the post. The exit is open but has tire shredders if you enter over them.

    A pleasant surprise at a Forest Service campground: 10 lbs of ice for $2! (There was also the usual bundle of firewood for $6.)

    An unpleasant surprise: Old, dirty bathrooms. I've seen cleaner vault toilets elsewhere than these flush toilets.

    There is no water for now (July 2018) in bathroom sinks or at spigots. The host said something about a pipe issue and water needing to be tested. That covers the amenities other than dumpsters.

    What about the sites? We arrived on a Sunday morning when the host was putting up signs indictating which sites were reserved. We had 3 possible sites among 1 through 19 and grabbed #9, a pull through site with a buffer between the road in the parking/small RV area.

    Sites in the other area (higher numbers) were becoming available, but that area's host said many of the sites were only appropriate for tents.

    Our site #9: There are a few steps down to the picnic table, fire ring and grill plus a separate area to the left for a tent. See photos.

    General site info:

    • Some sites have a concrete pad for the picnic table, etc.

    • Many sites have an area for the tent that is away from the picnic table and concealed from the road.

    North Fork County Park

    Nice, spacious, and secluded

    Enough trees to keep your site private, able to fit a 30' trailer in over 75% of their spots, and holy cow the number of spots they have, this place is the size of 4 good sized camp grounds combined. Fire pits and picnic tables included, but that's all that's included so pack your generator and fill your water.... 5 stars it's exactly the get away we were looking for.

    Mountain Valley RV Resort

    Clean and Cozy

    We only stayed at Mountain View for one night while passing through, but we enjoyed our stay. The office staff was super friendly. Mark came out on a cart to usher us to our site. He was helpful and provided wonderful advice for the rest of our trip in Utah (Moab). The sites are a bit close, but the campground was quiet and clean.

    Our girls enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The laundry facilities were nice and even had a designated machine for pet laundry. The restrooms and showers were private and clean. The water pressure was high and temp was hot. There was a beautiful fire pit near the pool along with pickle ball and basketball courts.

    This facility is near the highway but the road noise wasn’t a problem for us.

    We would stay here again in a heartbeat.


Guide to West Valley City

Cabin camping near West Valley City, Utah offers year-round options with varying elevation ranges from 4,250 to 7,000 feet across nearby destinations. Winter temperatures frequently drop below freezing at higher elevation sites, while summer daytime temperatures regularly exceed 90°F at lower elevations. Most cabins within 45 minutes of West Valley City remain accessible during winter months, though mountain locations may require snow chains or 4WD vehicles from November through April.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: Antelope Island State Park provides access to unique fishing experiences with striking lake views. "Located right by the beach entrance, this campground has lots to offer including a very well designed campsite. Fire pits are nice benches are brand new and everything is very clean," reports one visitor to Bridger Bay Campground.

Wildlife viewing: Buffalo and antelope sightings are common at certain cabins around the Salt Lake area. "An amazing place to kick back, relax, and hangout with bison. They walk up and graze through the campsites which is a beautiful thing to wake up to," notes a camper at Antelope Island.

Dark sky stargazing: Cabins at higher elevations provide exceptional night sky viewing during summer months. A visitor to Ladyfinger Campground recommends: "I cannot recommend sky and bird watching here enough. Skies here are open in all directions - it's amazing to see satellites pass and look west and see city lights as well."

Water recreation: Multiple reservoirs within 30-60 minutes of West Valley City offer swimming and boating from May through September. "The island is absolutely beautiful, the bison amazing and we looked at two campgrounds that were both in great locations, with great spots," states a Ladyfinger camper, though they warn about insects during certain seasons.

What campers like

Clean facilities: Many cabin sites maintain high standards of cleanliness. At Mountain Valley RV Resort, a guest observed: "This place is terrific. Clean everything and tons to do on-site. Very popular so the place is full but everyone had great etiquette."

Proximity to activities: Cabin locations balance nature access with convenient drives to amenities. "Convenient location right off the highway with full hook ups and nice paved sites. Dog areas, playground, games, and a pool. Easy access to the Jordan River Trail for running, biking, or sunset walks," notes a visitor at Pony Express RV Resort.

Winter cabin options: Several locations offer year-round cabin rentals, unlike tent camping. "We were staying in a yurt and it was an amazing experience! The yurt had a cozy gas powered fireplace. It got down to about 30 degrees but we were actually too hot," reports a winter visitor to East Canyon Campground.

Pet-friendly policies: Most cabin sites welcome pets with specific restrictions. A Mountain Valley RV Resort visitor mentions: "Very helpful employees, clean and pet friendly. Can see mountains all around you. Great WiFi and good water. Three dog parks and dog washing bay."

What you should know

Bug conditions: Insects can be problematic at certain times and locations. "The only negative impact from camping was the lack of trees where the campground is located and the horse flies that wake up early to sting you in the summer," warns a visitor to Ladyfinger Campground.

Noise considerations: Highway proximity affects some cabin locations. A visitor to Echo Island RV Resort noted: "Clean, paved shady sites with full hookups. Lots of fun things for kids to do. Friendly staff. Pristine property. The only reason I couldn't give 5 stars is due to the highway noise, but that made it convenient."

Water restrictions: Some locations have temporary utility limitations. "At the time of our visit, the park was rebuilding its visitor center. This meant there is currently no running water so no toilets other than pit and no showers," explains a camper about their Antelope Island experience.

Reservation requirements: Popular cabin sites fill quickly during peak months. A visitor to Pine Creek Campground shared: "Rangers were great getting us a last minute spot on our road trip. Sites are clean and nice with showers and restrooms."

Tips for camping with families

All-season amenities: Cabins provide shelter during unpredictable weather patterns. At Pine Creek Campground, a visitor notes: "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."

Kid-friendly activities: Some sites offer dedicated recreational spaces. "The sites are pretty close together so if you like your space, this probably isn't the best place. You can't burn firewood but you can have a propane fire pit," explains a visitor to Pony Express RV Resort.

Wildlife education: Turn bison and antelope sightings into learning experiences. "We drove from Central Oregon to saltlake in one go and when we got to saltlake we had no idea where we were going to go for the night. Antelope island was maybe 30 minutes of a drive from Salt-lake and the island was BEAUTIFUL," shares an enthusiastic Ladyfinger visitor.

Private bathroom options: Some cabin locations offer individual bathroom facilities. "Good park design for the back up sites to get a large trailer situated no problem. Seems like a large and very nice pool, although I did not use those facilities. Bath and restrooms clean and plenty of them for the size of the campground," notes an Echo Island visitor.

Tips from RVers

Site accessibility: Access varies significantly between locations. "The campground is pretty, but it is not for family camping with a tent. This campground has pull-through areas for people towing camping trailers, but not much for those that want to set up a full-size tent and lounge around outside," observes a visitor to Tanners Flat.

Hookup quality: Water pressure varies between properties. "Great campsite. Clean and nice amenities for a State Park. Be careful hooking up your RV to water. Very high pressure," warns a visitor about Hailstone campground at Jordanelle State Park.

Long-term stays: Some sites accommodate extended visits better than others. A Pony Express visitor noted: "Like others have said...if you want space to spread out this is not the place for you. If I planned on staying for a few months I would consider staying here. Only if they had a hefty monthly discounted rate."

Cell service reliability: Connectivity varies across campgrounds. The visitor at Pine Creek Campground remarked: "It's close to 2 reservoirs, tons of dirt bike and side by side trails, and Heber city. There's also a few group sites with pavilions."
