Camping cabins near Lonetree, Wyoming provide access to the high-elevation terrain of the Uinta Mountains and Flaming Gorge region at approximately 7,000 feet elevation. Summer temperatures typically range from 45-85°F with cool nights even in peak season. Winter access to rental cabins becomes limited after October when snowfall frequently closes secondary roads in the area.
What to do
Fishing at Red Fleet State Park: Just 45 miles from Lonetree, this park offers excellent trout fishing opportunities. "The fishing is ok, but there is a boat ramp for loading and unloading boats. I have stayed on the East and West sides, and there are more trees on the east side," notes Britney O. from East Marsh Lake Campground.
Wildlife viewing: Keep your camera ready as many cabin areas have resident wildlife. "We saw moose and deer and went fishing. Clean area and safe. Great place to ride side by sides!" shares Becky J. about the area near East Marsh Lake Campground.
Historical exploration: Visit Fort Bridger just 20 minutes from Lonetree. "Don't let location fool you, very nice, well appointed, next to the State Park," mentions Lyn R. about staying at Fort Bridger RV Camp. The historic site offers self-guided tours of 19th-century buildings and exhibits.
What campers like
Privacy and natural settings: Cabins along the Flaming Gorge area offer seclusion. "We camped in the east side camp ground on the first weekend of June 2015. It was quiet, not too many other campers as this camp ground had just opened for the summer," writes Bree C. about East Marsh Lake Campground.
Clean facilities: Many cabin locations prioritize cleanliness. "They have the largest private bathrooms. Complete with toilets in a private room. Very clean," reports Elsie H. about Fort Bridger RV Camp. This is particularly important for those using shared facilities.
Water recreation access: Cabins near lakes provide water activity options. "The lake is really cold, but there are people in shiny boats, kayaks, and float tubes," explains Britney O. about the water access near cabins. Most state park cabin locations have boat rentals available during summer months.
What you should know
Reservation timing: Summer cabin bookings fill quickly. "We spent one night here. The staff was really friendly and it's a very well maintained camp. The showers and bathrooms were spotless... I ended up at a full hookup spot that cost $50 a night," shares Kelda C. about Steinaker State Park Campground, which rents the Dippy Cabin.
Temperature fluctuations: High elevation means cold nights. "First year we went in July and the nights were perfectly chilly (dog water had a layer of ice on top by the a.m.). The sun is very warm due to the altitude," explains Randy about East Marsh Lake area cabins.
Accessibility issues: Road conditions vary seasonally. "The road getting up to here from Mountain View is really rough (wash boardy). The loop is dirt road, but it is smooth so you can ride bikes around it!" notes Britney O. about accessing rental cabins in the area.
Tips for camping with families
Water safety equipment: Bring life jackets for kids if staying near lakes. "The lake is always full and perfect for kayaks and SUPs. There is water available near each bathroom but there is no water at the sites themselves," mentions Randy about the Lucerne Campground cabin area.
Wildlife education opportunities: Many cabin areas have resident wildlife. "Antelope wander around the park all day and the water is crystal clear," explains Sara about Lucerne Campground, making it ideal for nature education with children.
Extra shade provisions: Some cabin areas lack adequate shade. "My suggestions are to take some kind of extra shade. There are not a lot of trees for shade. Also lots of ice to keep food cool," advises Arnel O. from Red Fleet State Park cabins, where summer temperatures can reach 100°F.
Tips from RVers
Extra parking considerations: Many cabins have limited parking. "Well maintained, spacious park, good spacing between sites. All sites have water, electric, and sewer," notes Matthew B. about Fort Bridger RV Camp.
Pet accommodations: Verify pet policies before booking. "I only stayed here one night, but it had everything I needed. Kind, attentive hosts, squeaky clean restroom including showers, a small, fenced in area for dogs to be off leash, and plenty of space between campers," explains Mary S. about Lyman KOA cabin options.
Grocery planning: Stock up before arrival. "The facilities are very nice and clean. The staff is super friendly," notes Todd S. about Flaming Gorge-Manila KOA, but does not mention grocery options as they're limited throughout the region.
