Utah State Parks With Cabins

Utah State Parks with cabins are the best! Nine state parks have cabins by a lake, that you can rent to have a hybrid-type camping trip experience. But not only that option, similar to that, you could try a Yurt, Conestoga Wagon, RV, or a Teepee! Some of these commonly referred to as "Glamping" - what do you think of that word?

Each Utah State Park with a lake, has their own particulars. (NOTE: Pets/Smoking not allowed in yurts, cabins, wagons, or RV.)
