Call the raven's rest hostel in lake City if you don't want to break the bank. Or were you thinking campgrounds?

Alpine Village in Lake City has rustic, but clean cabins. Stayed there and loved it. I know that Elkhorn RV resort also has a couple cabins too, but I'm not sure how far out you need to contact them to get them reserved. I have tent camped there with my brother, mainly because we wanted access to shower facilities after hiking.
Seems like the times that I need a mountain the most are the times that I can not get to them.
