Cabins near Riverside

Cabins near Riverside offer easy access to the wilderness of Southern California—situating campers within a short distance of mountains, desert, forests, and the Pacific Ocean. Find cabin rentals in the forests for a cool, shady escape, or foray into the mountains with a vacation rental on the slopes during a winter ski retreat. Many modern Riverside cabins include showers, kitchens, and potable water, but off-grid options offer a more rustic retreat with cabins sporting simple toilets and beds. No matter what amenities you look for, by day you can hike through the mountains in San Bernardino National Forest and Mount Jacinto State Park, where trails wind through coniferous trees and up to peaks for alpine views. California’s largest state park, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, also hosts walking trails and drives through the desert—look out for wildflower blooms in March and April. Ocean lovers can take an hour drive toward Los Angeles, where the Pacific Coast delivers new opportunities for surfing, swimming, picnicking, and beachfront cabin camping.
