Top 10+ Cabin Camping in Utah

Utah's cabin camping spans 195 locations from rustic park cabins to resort-style accommodations with full kitchens and bathrooms. Most cabins include basic furnishings like beds and tables, but bedding, kitchen supplies, and linens vary significantly between properties, making advance planning essential.

Moab area cabins dominate the selection, with options ranging from basic camper cabins at Sun Outdoors properties to larger family cabins at Moab KOA. The KOA cabins include private bathrooms, small fridges, and microwaves, while Sun Outdoors camper cabins typically share bathhouse facilities. Air conditioning becomes critical during summer months when desert temperatures exceed 100 degrees.

Zion area cabin camping offers the advantage of staying close to park entrances without securing competitive campground reservations. Zion River Resort cabins include queen beds with provided sheets, though bunk bed linens aren't supplied. The resort's cabin placement near restroom facilities reduces walking distances, particularly helpful for families with children.

National park cabin availability is extremely limited, with Devils Garden in Arches and Watchman in Zion offering the closest options to park activities. These locations book months ahead, especially for spring and fall visits when weather conditions are ideal for hiking.

Cabin pricing varies dramatically by season and location, with Monument Valley cabins at Gouldings commanding premium rates during peak seasons. Budget-conscious visitors often find better value at properties like Bryce Canyon RV Resort, where small cabins offer mountain views and basic amenities at lower costs than resort options. What's included differs substantially between cabin types. Resort cabins typically provide full bathrooms, heating and cooling, and basic kitchen appliances. Camper cabins often lack private bathrooms and may require visitors to bring their own bedding and cooking supplies. State park cabins like those at Steinaker include unique features like private drives and grills but maintain simpler accommodations.

Booking timing is crucial for Utah cabin camping, particularly near national parks where availability disappears quickly. Many properties require minimum stays during peak periods, and cancellation policies tend to be stricter than traditional campground reservations. Pet policies also vary widely, with some cabins accepting dogs while others maintain strict no-pet rules that can't be overlooked during planning.

    Bryce Canyon RV Resort by Rjourney

    Great Location

    Great location. Nice mountain views. Horses across the road. Mule deer out back occasionally. Small RV park with a lot of small cabins. RV spots are small, gravel, and pretty tight. Some sites are not very level. Fire pits and picnic tables. A few sites had a nice brick patio with table & chairs. 2 bars Verizon. Terrible WiFi that is provided by 3d party. Need to register. Keeps quitting.

    Private showers and shared bathrooms. All very clean. Laundry: washers are $6.50!

    A nice little playground, used pretty regularly by little ones. Lots of space to walk dogs out back. It’s right on main road but not too noisy.

    We would stay there again if back in that area.

    Moab Koa

    Stayed in a cabin

    We arrived on the later side of things and every camp area was full, in all of Moab, KOA had four cabins available so we snatched one up. It was a new cabin and it was wonderful. We normally wouldn't camp in a cabin but after a 3 hour drive, we weren't interested in turning around and driving home. It had a queen bed in the room you first walk in to. Then beyond that was another room with a bunk bed and a full bathroom. Toilet, tub and sink. It also had a small table, fridge, microwave and tv. It was basically a small hotel room. It had it's own deck and cook grill. The views were nice, the staff was nice. We didn't explore a whole lot of the campground but they did have a pool and other sites looked nice. It was not far from Arches National Park and town was even closer. If we were looking for a less rugged camp trip, we would consider their cabins again.

    Moab Rim RV Campark

    Best spot in Moab!

    6 stars for customer service! We came in late on Easter weekend during the Easter Jeep Safari Event. They were packed but found a place for us in the back. The host brought out a picnic table and fire ring for us, even offering a barbecue upon request. The Restrooms were Super clean and the hot water seemed endless in the shower. Guys get there early my hubby said the wait in the men’s room for anything was horrible, I did not have that experience on the Ladies side. The camping inside the inner circle seemed super nice with grass and shade, some sites even having shade structures. We were in the back lot (79) not on the map pictured. The CampPark also had several small cabins that looked adorable, and prices vary by season. Wi-Fi was available, the general store had a little bit of everything and it’s just down the street from downtown Moab! I would recommend this campground to everyone! Totally family and pet friendly and the perfect base camp for all your Moab adventures. Arches National Park is 4 miles from Moab and Canyonlands another 30+ Miles. If you have Children be sure to stop at the visitor center prior to your adventure and pick up a “Junior Ranger” packet and get your kids involved and enable them to earn their junior ranger badge for each National Park!

    Beaver KOA/ Bryce Canyon

    Pleasant Surprise

    This location has clean bathrooms and showers centrally located on the grounds. So it doesn’t matter if you’re in a tent or RV, it’s a close distance for everyone. They are also pet friendly with trash cans and doggie bags placed around the site. Our tent area included water/electric, a picnic table, and fire pit/grill. We really enjoyed our little grass area and the quiet surroundings!

    Moab Rim RV Campark

    Ranger Review Mountain House Meals in Moab

    Campground Review

     Moab was AMAZING! Moab Rim RV Campark was just as fabulous with 6 stars for customer service and overall experience. We came in late on Easter weekend during the Easter Jeep Safari Event. They were packed but found a place for us in the back. The host brought out a picnic table and fire ring for us, even offering a barbecue upon request. The Restrooms were Super clean and the hot water seemed endless in the shower.

If you have Children be sure to stop at the visitor center prior to your adventure and pick up a “Junior Ranger” packet and get your kids involved and enable them to earn their junior ranger badge for each National Park! Shaffer trail was also really cool out of canyonlands, I believe it was roughly 45 miles of dirt trail. Absolutely breathtaking red rock views and you may even catch a peak at a big horn sheep if you’re lucky!

    Product Review

     Mountain House Ice Cream Sandwiches

    As a Ranger for https://thedyrt.com/ I occasionally have the elite privilege of trying out fantastic products such as this. Our thoughts you ask?  WOW WOW AND WOW.. where have these been all my hiking days! An Ice cream Sandwich at the end, middle or beginning of any trail is a sure motivator in our family now. After discovering https://www.mountainhouse.com/ Ice cream sandwiches on our trip to Arches NP in Moab, Utah I don't think another backpacking or hiking trip would be complete without them. What I really enjoyed about the product was it seemed to always be enough and didn't leave me feeling dehydrated and parched. Shout out to all the parents wanting more miles out of your tiny humans, this is a game changer. No preparation or water required was a bonus, just snack and go!

    Sun Outdoors Moab Downtown

    Great location !

    This park has great location on S side of downtown Moab. Across the street from Moab Brewery.

    They have RV spots, small cabins, and private tent camping. Bathrooms are clean. Good water pressure in showers. Nice little heated pool and splash pad.

    RV spots have level concrete pads. They are small and pretty tight. Each site has a picnic table. Good Verizon signal and good WiFi (we are close to welcome center & park pretty empty).

    Zion River Resort

    Cabin review

    Check in was fast and smooth. Got the key and remote for the tv then head to the cabin that was around the way from the office/pool area. Sheets was provided for the queen bed but not the bunk beds. Which was fine because we were ready with our own sheets. Rest room and shower was right in front of our cabin, so we didn’t have to walk far. Good ac unit and lighting the with number of windows they got. Overall a great experience from our 1 night stay.
