Best Cabin Camping near Boulder, WY

Rustic cabins are available at several locations surrounding Boulder, Wyoming, with options including Snyder Guard Station, Hoback Guard Station, and Sherman Guard Station within the Bridger-Teton National Forest. Most Forest Service guard station cabins offer basic amenities like water hookups and fireplaces but lack modern conveniences such as showers or flush toilets. Electric hookups are available at Hoback Guard Station, while others operate without electricity. "The campsites fill up quickly but there are many to choose from. There are also cabins nearby and a small store," noted one visitor about Louis Lake Campground. Vault toilets are typically available at campgrounds with cabin accommodations, but guests should verify amenities before booking.

White Pine Wyoming Ski and Summer Resort offers tent cabins during summer months, providing a semi-furnished option between traditional camping and fully enclosed cabins. Reservations are required for most cabin accommodations in the region, with many facilities booking months in advance during peak summer season. Sherman Guard Station, Snyder Guard Station, Hoback Guard Station, and Cazier Cabin all accept reservations and allow pets. Pricing varies significantly by location and amenities, with rustic Forest Service cabins generally more affordable than resort accommodations. According to one visitor at Louis Lake, "There are some rustic cabins just next to it that you can rent out. Be aware that there isn't electricity, but there are lots of canoes and kayaks you can take on the lake."

Most cabin rentals near Boulder require guests to bring their own bedding, towels, cooking equipment, and food supplies. Facilities at Forest Service cabins are particularly limited, with some offering only the most basic shelter. Guests should plan to bring drinking water or purification systems for cabins without potable water. Daniel Junction offers more amenities with its cabin options, including a full restaurant, convenience store, and gas station on the property. While some cabins remain open year-round, accessibility becomes challenging during winter months, especially for remote Forest Service cabins.

    White Pine Wyoming, Ski and Summer Resort

    Summer use also!

    This ski area has developed summer camping options. There is a camping area with several tent cabins, teepees, and 6 RV spots. Also a general tent camping area. Shower house is available to campers or $5 fee if just buying a shower. The 6 RV spots are very tight together and have zero shade (hence the three stars). RV spots with water and electric are $30, $20 no hookups. Tent cabins and teepees $30, bring your own tent $12. There are hiking and Mt biking trails for summer use. However, Fremont CG and Trails End CG are only $12/$6 senior per nite for "dry" RV camping and that is likely why the camping area at white pine was completely empty on a week in July. Too bad as it is a small local operation...but the close proximity to FS CGs is too much.

    Green River Lakes Campground

    Very nice but hard to get to

    It took me about 90 minutes once I hit the unpaved portion of the road. Very rough. Averaged about 5 to 10 mph. I have a 4x4 van. I did see a Subaru coming the other way. Would not want to travel this road if it was wet and muddy.

    However, the campground and surrounding area are beautiful. Lots of hiking nearby around the lake and into the Winds. The sites are fairly private and spread out. The clean vault toilets are like little log cabins. There was only a handful of sites occupied while I was there in mid-October.

    Louis Lake Campground

    Great for paddling

    Fun place in a beautiful setting in the Shoshone National Forest in the southern most part of the Windriver Mountains.

    Be perepared for afternoon rain. But bring plenty of drinking water as there is no potable water here.

    The rate is $10/night pretty reasonable! The camp sites are kind of close together, but it is also fun to get to know your fellows campers.

    There are pit toilets, bear proof storage, and nice tables and fire rings with grates. There is no potable water here.

    There is a lodge on the lake with rustic cabins for rent. starting at $85/night Www.louislake.com

    I prefer Fiddlers Lake ( see my Review) There is abundant primitive camping all over the area if you prefer space over amenities.

    Price is way wrong on Dyrt

    I was charged over $50 for a parking spot w/no water - there are no bathrooms here. Way overpriced for an electric site.

    Louis Lake Campground

    A good lake

    We went in July - so bring bug spray if you go at the same time we did! Louis Lake is beautiful. There are some rustic cabins just next to it that you can rent out. Be aware that there isn’t electricity, but there are lots of canoes and kayaks you can take on the lake as well as life vests to wear. If you drive a little ways from there you can do an AMAZING hike that ends in beautiful waterfalls and a “slide rock” that is very smooth and you can slide over the falls. Park at Bruce’s (it’s a good parking spot) then hike Popo Aggies trail to the falls.

    Affordable

    Crew has worked hard on improvements. Decided to stay for a while. WiFi is good, better than anyplace I’ve ever been. Great restaurant “The Den”! Gas is cheaper than in Pinedale. Propane on site. Convenience store...beer, liquor, deli. The only drawback is the wind gusts (so watch your awning)but that’s Wyoming! Beautiful sunsets, view of mountains!

    Daniel Junction

    Stayed in Motel

    Had a great experience for a last minute booking. Only $75 for the night after a long day of driving. Was an adorable little room with cable tv. Wi-Fi didn’t work and no one seemed to know why. But I received very friendly service from the gas station workers and loved how easy it was to shop, get gas, and sleep all at the same place. Can’t comment on the rv site but the room was solid for the price and for my situation.

    Heads up

    The website is very modern and the camp looks awesome. Reality… gas station RV park. It does has a grill/bar but expectations vs reality is disappointing. Young staff member didn’t seem to be too enthused to help me check in and wasn’t sure that someone wasn’t still in my spot. I asked for a paper with a map and WiFi password on it… nope! However the sight watching the storm pass by was pretty awesome.


Guide to Boulder

Cabin accommodations near Boulder, Wyoming provide rustic shelter for all-season visitors. Several guard stations and historic cabins in the Bridger-Teton National Forest are available for reservation through recreation.gov. Winter visitors should note that many cabins become inaccessible during heavy snow months without snowmobile or cross-country ski access, while summer visitors can typically reach most cabins with standard vehicles.

What to do

Fishing access: Green River Lakes Campground offers exceptional fishing opportunities with proximity to two lakes. "The views are absolutely amazing, second to none! It's hard to find a more picturesque place to be," notes Bryan P. The 18-mile access road requires patience but rewards anglers with less pressured fishing.

Paddling opportunities: Louis Lake Campground provides direct water access for paddlers. Carrie C. reports, "Fun place in a beautiful setting in the Shoshone National Forest in the southern most part of the Windriver Mountains. Be prepared for afternoon rain. But bring plenty of drinking water as there is no potable water here." The lake supports kayaking, canoeing and paddleboarding.

Winter activities: White Pine Wyoming Ski and Summer Resort transitions from summer camping to winter recreation. Their winter cabin accommodations provide shelter for skiers and snowshoers exploring the surrounding wilderness. Summer visitors have access to hiking and mountain biking trails directly from the property.

What campers like

Lakeside sites: Louis Lake Campground receives consistent praise for waterfront camping. Jacinda C. describes it as a "Mini Lake Tahoe! This is one of my favorite campgrounds. You are right on the water! The spots are small, larger campers and some medium campers could have a hard time getting situated." Early arrival is recommended during peak season.

Scenic drives: The loop road through the Bridger-Teton National Forest provides access to multiple cabin locations and scenic viewpoints. Kim B. noted about the Louis Lake area: "Loved driving here and seeing signs for Atlantic City...it's about as different from the NJ one as you can get!"

Wildlife viewing: Green River Lakes Campground offers substantial wildlife viewing opportunities. Michelle E. reports, "Wildlife was abundant in the area," while other visitors mention moose, elk and deer sightings near cabin locations throughout the region.

What you should know

Road conditions: Access to remote cabins requires preparation. Green River Lakes access requires high-clearance vehicles. "The 18 mile road is beyond rough. Dirt road and driveways in the campground with pit toilets," reports Michelle E. Most Forest Service cabins have similar access challenges.

Amenities vary widely: Daniel Junction RV Park offers more modern cabin accommodations than Forest Service options. Karin R. notes, "Crew has worked hard on improvements. Decided to stay for a while. WiFi is good, better than anyplace I've ever been. Great restaurant 'The Den'!"

Seasonal considerations: Most Forest Service cabins have limited or no winter plowing. Louis Lake area cabins typically close by mid-October. Skye A. reports, "Stayed 1 week and had an amazing time. Just drive in and find an empty place to camp. Very large spots with lots of room between sites."

Mosquito preparation: Green River Lakes visitors consistently mention intense mosquito pressure during summer months. Lawrence M. warns, "Mosquitos! Mosquitos! Mosquitos!!! Beautiful scenery! The mosquitos were vicious." Pack appropriate repellent and clothing if visiting between June and August.

Tips for camping with families

Water recreation: Louis Lake Campground provides safe swimming areas for children. Suzy H. mentions, "Louis Lake is beautiful. There are lots of canoes and kayaks you can take on the lake as well as life vests to wear." The shallow entry points make this location suitable for younger swimmers.

Multiple activity options: Green River Lakes area offers diverse family activities. Molly P. shares, "This was one of our best camping trips of the summer! So many activities! You can swim, paddle board, hike, run, flit down the river, and just relax around the beautiful lake!"

Alternative to tent camping: Forest Service cabins provide shelter from unexpected weather. Most cabin locations require families to bring all supplies including bedding, cooking equipment, and drinking water. Plan accordingly for limited amenities.

Tips from RVers

Full-service option: Daniel Junction RV Park offers the most amenities for RVers seeking cabin alternatives. Kimberly notes, "Great RV park, newly renovated. Motel on property as well as a full Restaurant/Bar, convenience store, gas station." This provides a convenient basecamp with services when Forest Service cabin reservations are unavailable.

Wind considerations: Wyoming's high elevation creates significant wind events. Karin R. cautions about Daniel Junction, "The only drawback is the wind gusts (so watch your awning) but that's Wyoming!" This applies to most exposed cabin locations throughout the region.
