… heard of camping cabins?

Driven indoors by bad weather, tourist information in Torrey, Utah recommended the camping cabins at Thousand Lakes RV Park.

Next day I hiked the Navajo Knobs.

Turns out camping cabins are a trend. So says National Park Traveler:

… Tents and recreational vehicles still house the majority of those who stay in the campgrounds, but the market seems to be growing for cabins, particularly those that are fully furnished. …

Yeesh. I don’t want to be trendy.

  1. Cabins are a throwback to the 50’s, when they preceded the soon-to-be ubiquitous motel as America entered the Auto Age. And now: absolutely!

    Tents are ridiculous. I’ve never understood the point. Travel around the world, and you’ll find the only people who use tents are those that don’t have to – wealthy people who live in over-large houses. Tents are a very poor shelter, useful only when walking very long distances in bad weather.

    While the cabins in Zion Park Lodge should remain a secret, the real deal are the classic tent cabins in Curry Village.

  2. We stayed down in Torrey last summer and there was an abundance of cabins. I think that they are a great idea. We never like to pay to much for a place to sleep in. The cabins are a happy balance for those who don’t like to sleep in a tent but doesn’t really want to spend money on a hotel.

  3. We have these ‘trekkers huts’ as they’re called throughout Belgium and in some places in Holland too. Great for hikers, and cyclists in particular. You bike stays dry and so do you!
