    Reservations for cabin camping rentals are essential, particularly during peak summer months from May through September.

Austin Hawes Memorial Campground in American Legion State Forest provides more secluded forest cabins with a rustic experience.

Some private campgrounds implement quiet hours starting at 10 PM to ensure peaceful stays.

    Most cabin rentals provide beds with mattresses but require guests to bring their own linens, pillows, and towels. Kitchen facilities vary widely, from simple countertops with microwaves to full kitchenettes with refrigerators and stovetops in premium units. Basic cookware and utensils are typically provided, though campers often bring their own preferred cooking implements. On-site camp stores at larger facilities like Hammonasset State Park sell essential items, while grocery stores can be found within 15-20 minutes of most cabin locations. Firewood is generally available for purchase at campground offices, with outside firewood prohibited in many locations to prevent the spread of invasive species.

      Lake Compounce Campground

      Amusement Park Camping

      This campground is associated with a large amusement park. We were there in the fall when the amusement park was closed so the campground was not very busy but image it would have a very crowded feel if you were there during the summer. The RV sites are buddy sites which is never our favorite set-up (unless we are traveling with friends). Luckily, there was no one in the site next to us during our stay. The campground is big rig-friendly with roads and sites wide and long enough to accommodate any size RV; however, the road and roundabout you encounter when entering the campground is tight. There was very little traffic when we entered so navigating the entrance booth and roundabout was doable. The RV slots you pull into to check in at registration are far too short to accommodate large RVs with their tow vehicles and we ended up taking up four spaces. The tent sites are set away from the cabins and RV sites. Some are nicely tucked up against the tree line while others are in a grassy area and others are sandy nestled under some scrubby pine trees. One of the problems with the location of the tent sites is that they are far away from the bathrooms. Garbage cans are scattered throughout the campground so you don’t have to walk very far to dump your trash. There is no sewer but the electric (50-amp) worked well. There is cable but the channels were not HD so we switched to our over-the-air antenna and got great HD reception with about 60 channels. There is wifi but we could not get it at our site so we just used our Verizon hotspot (which had great reception). The water pressure is very high so we dialed our regulator back to around 45.  Roads and sites are gravel. All the sites are level and have a picnic table and fire pit.  We noticed that some of the fire pits needed to be cleaned out because rude campers littered them with water bottles, cans, and other garbage in the fire pits. One of the downsides is the noise from local recycling/transfer station. There is a dump station set to the side as you enter/exit. It was a little tight for us getting our 45’ RV in there but it was doable. There is only one sewer dump so we can image that it can be pretty backed up on Sundays when everybody checks out.

      Did Some Fishing

      After a busy few weeks, this was exactly the break we needed. The kids went swimming, we did some fishing, and everyone came home tired in a good way lol.

      White Pines Campsites

      Bunch Of Extra Trips

      White Pines made a really good home base for our trip. We spent most of the days checking out different spots around northwest Connecticut and came back here in the evenings. Made dinner outside, had a fire, and just relaxed. The campground itself had everything we needed without having to make a bunch of extra trips into town.

      Some Actual Downtime

      We brought our camper up for the weekend and the kids immediately wanted to go to the pool.😂 They also loved the fishing pond and exploring around the campground. There was plenty to keep them busy while we got some actual downtime.

      GrandView CampResort & Cottages

      Friendly staff and very clean facilities. They have sites with sewage hookups along with water and electric. Sites are small and very close together. I liked how many dog waste receptacles were available all over the property.

      Rest Of The Day

      One thing I really liked was having wifi when we needed it. Nice to be able to check in on work and then put the phone away and enjoy the rest of the day.

      Perfect Camping Day

      Nice campground with a good mix of activities. We went fishing one morning, spent the afternoon at the pool and had a fire that night. Pretty much a perfect camping day.

      Copake Falls Area — Taconic State Park

      Taconic SP Copake Falls

      A nice wooded campground that was quiet despite being almost full on our Friday night stay.

      The site we stayed at (64) had some pretty large roots to drive over and may have been an issue for a low clearance vehicle (we have a Subaru Outback).

      The shower / house bathroom combo units weee very clean with hot water and baby changing station.

    Guide to Avon

    Cabin camping near Avon, Connecticut offers year-round options in the western part of the state where the Farmington River Valley meets the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains. At elevations ranging from 200-1,000 feet, these woodland cabin rentals provide shelter across all four seasons, with peak availability during summer months when temperatures typically range from 60-85°F. Winter cabin rentals require advance planning as fewer facilities remain open when temperatures drop below freezing.

    What to do

    Fishing access: Close proximity to premier trout waters makes Austin Hawes Memorial Campground at American Legion State Forest a top choice for anglers seeking cabin accommodations. "Right on the farmington river and off the main road with access to many many other favorable fishing spots," notes visitor Tom C. The campground offers "excellent rates on all sites" with cabins positioned for easy river access.

    Hiking trails: Extensive network of forest paths surrounds many cabin rental locations. White Pines Campsites offers "hiking trails with nice, good variety of easier and more difficult terrain," according to Becca Z. Trail access directly from cabin sites allows for morning walks without driving.

    Drive-in movie experiences: Nostalgic evening entertainment just minutes from your cabin. Austin Hawes cabins put you "10 min away from a drive-in movie theater (we always tailgate a movie as tradition)," as Austin S. mentions. Several cabins include outdoor fire pits where you can continue the evening after returning from local attractions.

    What campers like

    Spacious sites: Room to spread out at Waters Edge Family Campground provides privacy not mentioned in other descriptions. "Our water and electric site was surrounded by super tall trees and although the sites were close, it didn't seem crowded," reports Erin M. The campground features several waterfront cabin rentals with extra yard space.

    Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathhouses enhance cabin camping experiences where private bathrooms aren't available. At Lake Compounce Campground, "Restrooms are clean and spacious. Showers are great. Whoever planned this campground is/was a camper," notes Diane R. This attention to cleanliness extends to cabin interiors, which receive thorough cleaning between guests.

    Wildlife viewing: Natural encounters add to the cabin experience. "Not far enough away" from a black bear was spotted by campers at White Pines in "the late morning hours," according to Sylvia P. While typically harmless, proper food storage at cabin sites remains essential, with metal food lockers provided at some locations.

    What you should know

    Site selection matters: Terrain varies significantly throughout the region's cabin campgrounds. At Prospect Mountain Campground, "a lot of the sites we drove by were pretty sloped," warns Becca Z., suggesting visitors should "recommend a drive through if you can beforehand." Cabin locations on level ground typically book first.

    Cellular coverage: Limited connectivity affects some woodland cabin locations. Austin Hawes Memorial Campground has "no cellphone service, which is either a good or bad thing, depending on how you feel about it," mentions Katherine P. Cabin guests should download maps and information before arrival.

    Noise levels: Weekend ambiance changes at several cabin rental locations. Waters Edge visitor Rob L. describes "very friendly guests and staff" but notes activity levels increase on weekends. Many campgrounds implement noise restrictions starting at 10:00 PM.

    Tips for camping with families

    Pool options: Swimming facilities vary between cabin rental locations. Cozy Hills Campground features a "pool that is nice and clean but a little cold" according to Rebecca S., while other reviewers note its family-friendly depth: "Pool is very nice for families - with no deep end, really safe for younger kids" (Ann S.).

    Rainy day alternatives: Indoor recreation spaces provide backup plans when weather disrupts outdoor activities. Brialee Family Campground offers "a Rec hall, mini golf, shuffleboard" alongside outdoor options, as Christine M. points out, making it suitable for multi-day cabin stays.

    Kid-friendly scheduling: Structured activities enhance family cabin experiences. "Arts & Crafts, Arcade, Bingo, Casino Night etc." are available at Cozy Hills according to Ann S., who appreciates the variety of supervised programs offered throughout the day.

    Tips from RVers

    Camp store offerings: Essential supplies vary widely between cabin rental locations. Black Rock State Park Campground has limited provisions, but "there's a Stop and Shop nearby, as well as a couple of general stores," Katherine P. notes when describing the American Legion forest area. Cabin guests should bring specialized items not commonly stocked.

    Utility considerations: Power limitations affect cabin amenities. "Some sites have electric while others don't, and sites with hookups vary between 30-amp and 50-amp service," according to experienced RVers who've also used cabin facilities. Guests should confirm whether heating/cooling systems match seasonal needs, particularly for spring and fall visits when temperatures fluctuate.

    Road conditions: Access varies by season with some cabin areas requiring careful navigation. "Roads are in rough shape" at certain campgrounds according to Michael S., while others maintain well-graded access suitable for standard vehicles throughout the camping season.
