Best Cabin Camping near Hanover, CT

Cabins near Hanover offer varying comfort levels from rustic to fully furnished accommodations. Hopeville Pond State Park Campground provides cabin rentals with basic amenities, while Mystic KOA features deluxe cabins equipped with linens, cookware, utensils, kitchen essentials, and full-sized refrigerators. Most park cabins include bunk beds without mattresses, picnic tables, and outdoor fire rings. Some waterfront cabins at Burlingame State Park Campground offer scenic pond views. Odetah Camping Resort and Strawberry Park both feature cabin options with more modern amenities. "The cabin was cute and clean and furnished with linens, cookware, utensils, kitchen essentials, keurig coffee maker/pods, and full-sized fridge," noted one visitor about their Mystic KOA experience.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. State park cabins typically provide minimal furnishings with two sets of bunks requiring campers to bring their own mattresses or sleeping pads. Private campgrounds like Hidden Acres and Waters Edge Family Campground offer more equipped cabin rentals with electricity and some kitchen facilities. Pet policies vary significantly between locations, with Mystic KOA allowing pets in certain cabins while state parks often prohibit pets entirely. According to one camper, "If you don't have a tent, consider reserving one of their rustic cabins. These offer two sets of bunks (no mattresses) and a small porch with a picnic table and fire ring outside."

Most cabin rentals require guests to bring bedding, pillows, towels, and personal items regardless of accommodation type. Kitchen provisions vary widely, with state park cabins typically offering no indoor cooking facilities while private resort cabins may include microwave ovens, coffee makers, and basic cookware. Campground stores at Odetah, Strawberry Park, and Mystic KOA stock essential supplies, though selection is limited. Many campgrounds provide firewood for purchase on-site for outdoor cooking, and most cabin sites include picnic tables and fire rings. Several campgrounds feature bath houses with showers and toilets within walking distance of cabin areas, though cleanliness can be inconsistent during peak season.

    Burlingame State Park Campground

    Huge campground, not many level sites.

    I've never camped in Rhode Island, so I was curious to see what a state park campground had to offer. Rates are reasonable for state residents, but quite high if you are out-of-state, given the amenities. There are no hookups, but dump stations are available. Bathrooms have flush toilets and coin-operated showers. There's a small beach at the pond, a boat ramp, and proximity to wildlife refuges and the ocean. It's a HUGE campground, with 700 sites and 20 cabins. Canoes are available to rent.

    There's a nice playground, a camp store, and a naturalists cabin. Trails are available for hiking and biking. The beach is sandy and there's a small parking lot there, but I suspect most people walk to it. No alcohol allowed. 

    I didn't see more than a handful of level sites, with varying degrees of slope, but many are quite large. If you have an RV, plan to level; if you have a tent, be sure to bring good mattresses to protect you from the roots and rocks and orient your head to the uphill side. Most of the sites have some degree of visual separation from their neighbors, but there are places where it's hard to tell where one site ends and the next one starts. Site have fire rings and picnic tables, but if you plan to cook over the fire, bring your own grate or plan to use sticks and/or aluminum foil. 

    If you don't have a tent, consider reserving one of their rustic cabins. These offer two sets of bunks (no mattresses) and a small porch with a picnic table and fire ring outside. Some are located along the pond.

    3-4 bar cell phone coverage. No road traffic. East Beach is nearby, but parking fills early.

    Mystic KOA

    Awesome Sunsets at the Mystic KOA

    Didn’t quite feel like camping, but it was still a lovely weekend away at the Mystic KOA. We decided to head down to check out the aquarium and stayed at a deluxe cabin. It was cute and clean and furnished with linens, cookware, utensils, kitchen essentials, keurig coffee maker/pods, and full-sized fridge. Only complaint was an odd, musty smell we couldn’t quite figure out.

    The grounds are large with vast amounts of space. Be forewarned that it’s right off of 95, and the sound definitely carries. Trees are sparse in areas, but the sunsets were a nice trade off. Amenities seemed nice from what we could tell - cool outdoor movie screen, pools and playground, though we certainly didn’t get to enjoy these things in February.

    Hammonasset State Park Campground

    Great Beach

    This campground has great sites with great beach access. Running water and full bathrooms. Also close local shopping and restaurants. Campground is extremely reasonably priced. You have to book early as this Campground books extremely quickly during peak season.

    Getaway Machimoodus

    First Time Glamper!

    Getaway is fabulous! My first glamping experience was a winner! Machimoodus is one of the newest outposts just outside Boston and NYC. My bf and I went during one of the snowiest weekends all winter, but it was completely worth it!

    First of all, the huge picture window in the cabin is AMAZING. It is just so rejuvenating waking up to freshly fallen snow on the trees - corny I know, but 100% accurate. The cabin was beautiful and rustic, and outfitted with cookware, dishes, a Bluetooth capable radio, essentials like coffee for purchase, books and a shovel for the snow.

    Since the outpost was new, the fire pit was brand new, and despite the snow, we were able to cook on it. Very easy to use.

    Only critiques would be the lackluster water pressure in the shower and how icy the walkway leading up from the driveway got in the cold weather. The water pressure was a small price to pay, however, and the icy walkway is resolved easily enough wearing micro-spikes.

    I can’t recommend enough. It can be a pricy excursion, but the outposts are established in very beautiful settings. I cannot wait to check out more!

    Mystic KOA

    Wasp Breeding Ground!

    Pros: Helpful staff, morning garbage pickup, excellent laundry facility, plenty of activities and amenities for children. Cons: Wasps!! Wasps everywhere!! We did our best to keep them at bay by lighting some sage but they were persistent. Not much privacy back in the tent/cabin areas, camp sites very close together and people have the ability to stare right into your site.

    Rocky Neck State Park Campground

    Shady Spot walking distance from Beach

    I’ve lived in CT all my life but never used the Rocky Neck State Park Campground until now.

    The campgrounds are named after water fowl: Crane, Egret, Osprey, Heron etc...We stayed in Egret. We camped at site #4 (sunny) then moved to #38 (shady).

    Both spots were quiet, music low and people minded their business. Equal mix of RVs big and small as well as many tents.

    Bathhouses and toilets were not as cleaned as I would have liked but passable. Coronavirus social distancing required.

    Sites include one paved parking spot (ours was very muddy) a fire pit and a picnic table. No water or electric hookup. Wi-fi not available at this campground. Fire wood is sold at camp office. There is no store in park - no ice either.

    A lot of you children. Short walk to Rock Neck beach. Nature Center has movies on weekends for kids.

    Anyone with kayaks can’t easily get to boat launch. It’s 4-5 miles by car at 4 mile river boat launch. See photos.

    Hammonasset State Park Campground

    large family friendly campground with beach access

    Hammonasset Beach State Park Campground is huge, family-friendly, and has direct beach access from the campground. There is no lifeguard on duty at the campground beach but lifeguards patrol the beach a mile or so north within the park. Smaller (car-top) boats can be launched from this area as well.

    The campsites do NOT include a fire pit (or grill). You must bring your own or there are fire tub rentals available at the campground store.

    The park includes a Nature Center complete with exhibits and activities, and hiking trails. Bald eagles can be seen on the nature reserve.

    Expect long lines at the state park entrance fee station on the weekend if the weather is nice.

    Fairly large campground. Tent sites available but mostly RV/Campers. WiFi in common areas isn’t great so if you’re planning on working during some down time, this isn’t the place. Nice hiking around the area. Bathrooms are clean. Good for kids/families.
