Guest ranch with 8 modern cabins, 12 RV sites, and a yurt. Activities include horseback riding, fishing, hiking, kids play area, evening camp fires. End of the road, remote getaway.
We spent three nights in the Pine cabin. It was an adorable little cabin, though I wouldn't suggest it for anyone who is large in either girth or height; the ceiling is low in some places, and the bathroom is a bit of a tight squeeze. Lots of access to hiking trails; we did some of the Papoose trail, which runs right along a river. Everyone was very friendly, and we enjoyed all the animals. Sitting on the porch watching the hummingbirds was a highlight, and my kids spent some time hanging out with the horses, chickens, and pigs.
The kitchen comes well equipped, with pots, pans, utensils, plates, cups, and flatware. There's a full fridge and gas oven/stovetop, plus a charcoal grill outside. Bring your own consumables! They provide dish soap, hand soap, paper towels, and toilet paper, but the rest is up to you, and it's an hour to town. We brought salt, ketchup, charcoal, etc. (You're in the woods, so mice are a possibility; bring containers that can close tightly.)
We were under a fire ban (and in fact had to go home a different way since I-70 was blocked by a fire in Glenwood Canyon), so we missed the nightly campfires, but Mona was very nice and helpful with all the questions we had.

We rented 2 different cabins and stayed 3 nights. I have never felt so at home staying at a camping spot. The owners make sure to make you feel welcome. As a matter of a fact you feel as if the owners and all guests are family. There are beautiful hiking trails. An amazing fishing lake. Horses to ride. A park for the kids. And let's not forget the chickens, pigs and Turkeys the kids get to see. And the most fun was the community fire pit. Its amazing to get to know everyone around a fire. We will be going back several times EVERY summer. My Grandson says that Ute Cabins is the gateway to the "Lost magical Forrest" 😉 I highly suggest everyone makes it up there to stay.

We just got back from a week at Ute Lodge. We went in our trailer and stayed in site 6. We had the most relaxing week. When we drove in, we realized this was not like other RV campgrounds we had stayed in. It is very remote and rustic. Although we did have fully functional hook ups for water, electric, and sewer. We were virtually alone aside from some guests in the cabins. When I say not like places we had been before, when we checked in, they said we should feed our food scraps to the pigs, there were sweet camp dogs to pet, and horses to watch grazing on the hillside. The camp hosts Kim and Jason were so friendly and we loved visiting with them. The area of Colorado was not one we had been to before. There was great fly fishing in the White River and hiking literally behind our camper along papoose creek. We typically go, go, go when we camp but this week was sitting in the sunshine, hiking, fishing, reading, napping, and playing guitar. Exactly what we needed. We highly recommend Ute Lodge. Give it a chance and take a deep breath and relax.

The location is remote and quiet. It's beautiful and there are several great fishing options - the pond is small and didn't result in much but Sleepy Cat (White River) is close by and wonderful. Upon arrival, we had to clean multiple dog poop piles in order to set up. Could be the camp host dog (next door) but dogs were running around unleashed everywhere and never saw anyone cleaning up after them. We brought our pup, but he's always leashed (he's a runner). He handled literally being surrounded by multiple dogs at one time well, but that's a recipe for disaster.
A woman lives behind the campground and she literally walked thru our campsite at least a dozen times (several times while we were sitting there). Camp etiquette didn't apply, but she did take a different path once this was addressed.
Full hookups were appreciated and again it is beautiful. However, there are other places not as far away that we prefer.

The campgrounds are well taken care of and the hosts are great. Family friendly campground with everything from primitive camping to 2 bedroom cabins. RV sites are available. Great access to multiple hiking trails and the Wagon Wheel ATV trails. We will definitely be back as there is so much to explore. The stars at night were awesome as the Milky Way was seen almost every evening. You really can’t say enough about this place.

This is our third year coming here. This land is truly something else. Perfect views, friendly campers and two of the most humble hosts you’ll ever meet. Truly our happy place! The drive is so well worth what’s waiting for you.

My husband and I have stayed at the Ute Lodge/Cabins at least once, sometimes twice a year, for the past 3 years. The owners are always very welcoming and friendly. The location is excellent for getting away from it all, as there are no phones or TV available in the cabins. Some of the cabins are very old and have the sloped floors and mismatched furniture that come with a rustic getaway. I happen to like that aspect but I know it doesn't appeal to all. Wi-fi is available at the front porch of the owner's home (and it you are lucky from the bedroom window sill of the first cabin, LOL!) You are on your own for housekeeping during your stay but if towels/TP are needed the staff are happy to help. Bring an ice chest, food and the ability to cook as there are no restaurants near by, it will take you an hour, one way (beautiful drive) to reach Meeker. I may have rattled on too much but these are the things I like to know before booking. Also, book early...those who know and love the Ute Lodge come back often!!

My wife and I were going to ride the OHV trails into the Whiteriver Forest, and could not take our toy hauler. Found the Ute Lodge, and was extremely satisfied. Friendly, clean, and very peaceful. Great place to relax after riding for the day. Already planning our next trip, and looking to take our t o y hauler this time because they do offer RV parking as well as the cabins.

I’ve been coming up to this area for close to 40 years and this was our first stay at Karl and Mona’s little oasis in the Rockies. What a wonderful experience a beautiful place to stay for a few days to get away from it all! Definitely will be back!
