Best Cabin Camping near Nice, CA

Clear Lake State Park offers rustic cabin accommodations at Kelsey Creek Campground where the sites are level with paved pads. The cabins have no hookups but provide basic sleeping quarters for visitors looking to enjoy the lakeside setting. "The campground is beautiful, good space between sites. Staff was great," notes one camper about their stay at Kelsey Creek. Nearby, the Old Train Caboose provides a unique cabin camping experience with electricity and running water, offering guests a distinctive overnight option compared to standard cabins.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Pine Acres Blue Lake Resort and Narrows Lodge Resort feature cabin accommodations with more amenities, including electric hookups and water access. These locations typically require reservations, especially during summer months when lakeside properties fill quickly. Most cabins welcome pets, though specific policies vary by location. A visitor commented that Pine Acres offers "a private cove right by lake" for cabin guests, providing direct water access for fishing and kayaking.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Cooking facilities vary significantly between properties, from basic fire pits at simpler cabins to full kitchenettes at resorts like Narrows Lodge. On-site markets exist at some locations, including Pine Acres and Narrows Lodge Resort, offering basic provisions for cabin guests who forget essentials. Bathroom facilities range from shared campground restrooms to private bathrooms assigned to specific cabins. As one guest at Narrows Lodge noted, "We rented a camping yurt and we were so surprised how big it is! We received a key to our own bathroom and shower!"

    Quiet, fun, relaxing

    We rented a camping yurt and we were so surprised how big it is! We received a key to our own bathroom and shower! They had a sink to was dishes in and a place to clean our fish. We rented a motor boat for a few hours to explore the beautiful lake.  Pet friendly. Great little beach. A dock to fish from. Everything you need to have a great time! They also have bigger yurts and cabins to rent. Also, RV parking .We have already booked another visit.

    Manchester Beach / Mendocino Coast KOA

    Safe sound and beautiful

    Senior camping at it's best. A heated cabin and pad on bed that was comfortable. Got showers and a family vibe. Great location for scouting Mendocino coastline and Pt Arena. No wifi though so don't bring work.

    Hendy Woods State Park Campground

    Family Freindly Redwood Camping

    Spacious sites with fire pit, wooden food box and picnic table. Potable water available at spigots along the roads every 3-4 campgrounds. The campground has restrooms with sinks (bring your own soap), flush toilets, coin operated showers. Campground ha easy access to hiking, swimming in the river, and wine tasting just up the road. There a local produce stands just up the road where you can expect to buy tasty Gravenstien apples if you visit in August! Mosquitoes are present so bring bug spray! If you forget anything, there is a Mom and Pop store up the road that sells almost everything you need including batteries, tableclothes, butane, ice and firewood for about $6 a bundle. The campground host sells firewood for $8 a bundle. Campsites are for 8 people maximum. Even with 8 people, we didn't feel cramped. Sites come with 2 parking passes. If you have more than two cars in your party, you can pay for additional parking passes. Dog friendly! I was the only person in my group to have cell service here and I have Verizon.

    Ritchey Creek Campground — Bothe-Napa Valley State Park

    Campground in the heart of wine country

    Small, cozy campground located in the heart of wine country. Site contains fire pit, picnic tables, and bear locker. Several prominent wineries located near by as well as a charming town called Calistoga. Sites and bathrooms were well maintained. Good option if you're doing Napa on a budget!

    Manchester Beach / Mendocino Coast KOA

    Delightful, quiet campground in the pines not far from Mendocino

    Normally I wouldn't think of myself as a KOA sort of camper. This campground is enough to change my mind! There are some weekends you need to get away, but there's no time to pack the long list of stuff needed for camping. So we tried out one of these little cedar cabins. It was fantastic!!

    We loved the quiet, laidback campground, with lovely old pines giving a sense of being in the forest -- even while being walking distance from the water. You're literally close enough to hear the surf, and see the Point Arena lighthouse.

    It's dog friendly, with pool, hot tub, hot showers, full bathrooms, and also extensive Camp Kitchen facilities with sho-nuff gas grills.

    We absolutely plan to return!

    Pine Mountain Lookout

    A Unique Experience

    A simple, rustic cabin.  As noted by others, it suffers from a little damage/neglect—many of the windows are boarded up—but it's an old fire lookout so we didn't expect a rental cabin atmosphere.  Views are exceptional, as is the peace and quiet.  Get up early and you'll catch the dawn chorus of an amazing number of birds: warblers, woodpeckers, quail, juncos, grosbeaks, cowbirds, even robins.  The cabin is roughly outfitted with cots, bunkbeds, a table and chairs.  There's a clean outhouse down by where you park and a firepit, which we didn't use because it was windy when we were there.  Keep your food up on the table at night--the mice are nocturnal visitors and will help themselves if you leave food on the counter.  Only caveat is the access to the cabin.  They're not kidding when they warn you to bring a chainsaw.  Two of the three roads in and out were blocked by downed trees (so big our small chainsaw wasn't helpful), and in places the road that was open had pretty deep potholes and gullies formed by last winter's heavy rains.  I was really glad we had 4WD.

    Mendocino Redwoods RV Resort

    Perfect!

    Let's start with check in. As you know this is the beginning of your stay. It was late and we were tired but when I walked in and heard good evening, I knew we found a nice spot. We were checked in and drove into the park. Clean and festive. By the smiles on the faces of adults and children it looked like those that participated had a good time. My husband and I rented a small cabin for the night. It was clean and welcoming. We only stayed one night but will come back again and again. Look forward to using this app again.
