Best Cabin Camping near Lander, WY

Sleeping Bear RV Park & Campground, Twin Pines RV Park and Campground, and Louis Lake Campground provide cabin lodging options near Lander, Wyoming. All three established campgrounds feature cabins alongside other accommodation types with varying amenities. Sleeping Bear RV Park offers fully serviced cabins with access to drinking water, showers, and toilets. Twin Pines cabins include electric hookups, water connections, and sewer hookups, making them suitable for longer stays. Louis Lake Campground provides more rustic cabin accommodations in a forest setting without electricity or running water, though the adjacent Louis Lake Lodge offers rentable rustic cabins. "The owner/manager even gave us some local fishing tips and recommended a great place to have lunch in town. This is without a doubt the best campground in Lander and probably for miles around!"

Cabin facilities vary significantly between locations. Sleeping Bear RV Park cabins include picnic tables and allow fires in designated areas, while Twin Pines prohibits fires at their cabin sites. Most cabins require reservations, particularly during summer months when occupancy increases. Holiday Lodge Campground offers year-round cabin availability, a rarity in the region where many facilities close seasonally. All four campgrounds with cabins allow pets, though specific rules may apply. Louis Lake cabins start at $85 per night according to visitor reports, with proximity to water activities being their main attraction. One camper noted, "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."

Cabin guests should prepare for varying levels of amenities. Sleeping Bear provides more conveniences with laundry facilities, a camp store, and firewood available for purchase. Louis Lake cabins require visitors to bring drinking water as no potable water exists on site. Most cabins include basic furnishings but expect to bring your own bedding, cooking supplies, and food. Safeway and Mr. D's grocery stores are located just a few miles from Lander's in-town campgrounds, allowing for easy supply runs. All cabin locations offer trash disposal, though other amenities like WiFi or cellular service vary considerably by location. Sleeping Bear cabins provide the most reliable connectivity, while Louis Lake cabin guests should expect to disconnect completely from digital communications during their stay.

    Sleeping Bear RV Park & Campground

    Comfortable stay on the edge of downtown!

    This was the perfect place to stay for the Lander area, especially if you plan to access the Wind River Range in Pinedale. 

    OVERALL: Great customer service and handled our reservation over the phone- easy to work with and accommodating. Reasonably priced and used Good Sam discount. Laundry is$2.50/wash and$1.75/dry and the units were very good. They cleaned our clothes well, where most RV parks the washers are not good. It was super windy at times in the afternoon. We even lost power for a few hours one evening because of the wind gusts, but it wasn't too dusty so we could keep our windows open some of the time to let fresh air in. 

    SITE: Gravel roads throughout the park. Turns just a little narrow, but completely manageable- you just have to pay attention. There wasn't a lot of campground scenery at our site, but you can capture beautiful sunsets at the top of the hill at the park. Our site was almost level, we just needed one link on the left side. Lots of shade, along with a nice picnic table and fire pit(although no fires allowed right now). 

    WIFI: Works pretty well for campground wifi. Video calls and streaming were spotty and unreliable, but everything else worked just fine. We also switched over to our AT&T phone hotspot to help with internet speed at times during the work day. 

    NEARBY: There is a gas station right across the street. There is a Safeway or Mr. D's just a few miles down the road. Restaurants, bar and ice cream just a walk away downtown, along with a few cute shops- Dulce Ice Cream; Lander Bar, Cowfish and The Middle Fork(to name a few). They have gluten free options as well!

    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.

    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.

    Good location

    This RV Park and campground is about a mile outside of Lander Wyoming. The town is small but has wonderful small town charm. The campground is fairly large but the sites are close together. They have pull through, back in, and pull in sites. The pull in sites do have hook ups and they are not on the "wrong side" but that is designed for pull in units like small RVs or conversion vans. There are a couple tent sites with little to no shade and are really just gravel plots. The wifi is good and I had good service with Verizon. Nice bathroom and laundry facilities. I can see this campground being very crowded in the summer.

    Sleeping Bear RV Park & Campground

    Sleeping Bear is full service and then some!

    This campground has friendly and accomodating staff, nice bathrooms, laundry facilities, small camp store, water and sewer hookups, a small dog park and a splash pad to cool off! Spaces are all very level and a viriety of options including back in and pull thru and they can handle larger RVs as well. The owner/manager even gave us some local fishing tips and recommended a great place to have lunch in town. This is without a doubt the best campground in Lander and probably for miles around!

    The town of Lander seems to have a little of everything in a friendly small town atmosphere.  I'll be back, maybe even move here someday!

    Twin Pines RV Park and Campground

    Nice Little Campground Lovely Area

    Camp host Annette kindly waited for us as we arrived nearly an hour past her usual leave time. (Campers may arrive after hours and pick up registration packet at the front door alao.) We had a good pullthrough site out of 12 total RV spots. There are also cabins, playground, bathrooms with showers, and laundry. Neat host building with lots of wild animal heads! Full hookups. Pleasant stay.

    Awesome

    We arrived super late at 10pm. And they have maps in the front office where you can see availability. The place is very cozy and clean. It has a great view and a little stream of water, dog area, playground, and store. It's 3 minutes from the town where you have plenty of restaurants.

    Sleeping Bear RV Park & Campground

    Good Spot to Overnight or Explore the Area


    RV GPS easily took us right to the campground(CG), which is on Main Street on the south side of Lander. Check in was quick and easy and we proceeded to back-in site 9 with FHUs. However, the 50/30 AMP power was on the door side of our 5th wheel as this is a pull in site for motorhomes. Since our power cord was in the middle of our rig, we easily reached the post. If you could not reach they have 50 and 30 AMP extension cords. There was sewer on both sides of the site. Water was also on either side and the pressure was very good. We got 4 bars Verizon and the WiFi was below average for a CG this size. We got a few OTA channels. Satellite could be iffy due to trees in the park, but we had a clear shot to the southern sky. A nice feature about our site was a nice sized grassy area out back of our site for the dogs. We noticed that people cut through site 10 to use it. We did experience the wind gusts while we were there, but we weren't worried our trailer was going to blow over. You do need to keep your awnings in, especially if you are leaving your site. Sites were pretty close together, though not so close that awnings touched. They have a nice little camp store plus they sell propane and firewood. This CG was a nice overnight or short term option.

    Sleeping Bear RV Park & Campground

    Nice facility

    Is a rather small but clean and tidy facility. Tent sites are small but fairly level. Liked that they had individual bathrooms. Didn't like the proximity of the park to the highway which made it somewhat noisy in the early evening. Is very close to town of Lander
