If you are looking for a weekend getaway, check out Van Camp Cabins in Yampa. My husband and I recently stayed there on a last minute trip as an alternative to camping. I was prepped for a primitive experience but we were pleasantly surprised. First, this historic property is charming with loads of character. The cabin we stayed in was cozy and the bed was like sleeping on a cloud. This is a great place to relax after a day of fishing and hiking. The bathhouse is spotless and has everything you need, including a sauna to ease those overworked muscles after hiking the Devil's Causeway!
Van Camp Cabins is an excellent facility. It's not a big facility so it feels very private.
The cabins are well kept and very comfortable. Susan the owner lives on site and is available if needed. She is very friendly and keeps this property looking great. My family and I are looking forward to our next visit.
These little cabins are super clean, they have log beds and ceiling fans made of antlers, they are more modern and updated, so not run down or too rustic. Beds are super comfortable and the shower house is literally steps away from your door. The cabins are aligned in somewhat of a circle loop, and the shower house is in the middle. I believe I recall seeing grills, and there is a spot for a campfire that is in a remote spot. It is walking distance to the liquor store, the 50's Diner (Penny's) and the Antler's Bar as well as the Montgomery's General Store/Grocer. Access to the flat tops, fishing, camping, hunting and hiking is just a short BEAUTIFUL 17 mile drive on Forest Service Road 900.
Really cute and quaint cabins. No TV or bathrooms but there is a public bathroom with showers. The wood burning stoves were amazing and kept the room warm but also gave you a bit of a nostalgic feeling.
Perfect to kick off our hunting trip. I and 3 buddies met up at Van Camp Cabins and shared one of the large cabins with 4 double beds. Rate was great! Cabins are well build and nicely furnished with Fridge and Microwave + wood burning stove. We used a provided propane BBQ grill to cook our evening meal and warm up Breakfast Burritos we made before embarking on our trip. Everything we needed for our last good night sleep before we headed out into the Flattops. The central Bath house is great. Also well constructed with logs. There is a main room with tables, chairs, board games, cards and books to pass the time. The Men's showers and bathrooms are separated from the Women's. Water was hot and plenty. Susan is super nice and friendly. Great place - beats the heck out of the Travel lodge (worn and tired) down the street.
