Best Cabin Camping near Buxton, ME

Several cabin campgrounds near Buxton, Maine provide access to coastal Maine attractions while offering varied accommodation options. Wild Duck Adult Campground, Bayley's Camping Resort, and Sandy Pines Campground all feature cabin rentals with modern amenities. Most cabins include beds, electric lighting, and air conditioning, while kitchen facilities vary by location. "Three days in a cabin that was perfect for two who flew in without camping gear. Fridge, coffee pot, microwave and AC. One queen bed and a bunk bed made for comfortable sleeping and a fire pit was even included," notes one visitor. Rustic cabins typically provide basic shelter with electricity, while deluxe models include private bathrooms and kitchenettes with refrigerators and microwaves.

Depending on the campground, cabin styles range from simple one-room structures to multi-room units with separate sleeping areas. Most locations require advance reservations, particularly during peak summer months from June through August. Pet policies vary significantly, with Wild Acres Sun RV Resort and Wolfe's Neck Oceanfront Campground offering pet-friendly cabin options.

Winter cabin availability is limited, as most campgrounds operate seasonally from May through October.

Cooking equipment requirements differ widely across locations, with some cabins featuring full kitchenettes while others offer only basic counter space and electrical outlets. Outdoor fire pits and grills are standard at most sites, allowing for traditional campfire cooking. Many campgrounds provide on-site stores selling essential supplies, firewood, and basic groceries. For more extensive shopping options, grocery stores are located in nearby towns. Cabin visitors should check with specific campgrounds regarding utensil and cookware availability before arrival.

    Freeport / Durham KOA

    Great spot, great hosts

    Kid and pet friendly. Lots of activities for kids including a flashlight candy hunt, water slide, and s’more roast. We’ve been coming back for years and the addition of a glamping tent, cabins, and domes have made it even nicer!

    Westward Shores Camping Area and Marina

    Nice spot for a lakefront vacation

    Westward Shores is an expansive resort located on Ossipee Lake. It caters primarily to seasonal campers and those with RVs, but can accommodate tenters as well. There are a couple of camping cabins starting at $70/night shoulder season and cottages that sleep 8-20 (at significantly higher prices).

    The campground is so large that many people get around on golf carts. There are ongoing renovations and new areas, so it still looks a little rough around the edges in places. Lots are large and level with pea gravel and hookups; if you are in a tent, you’ll want to be sure to have adequate padding for sleeping. Additionally, you’ll want one of the more basic campsites located near a bathroom. Some of the loops do not yet have facilities (Aug 2019). The bathrooms are basic and clean.

    The primary appeal is the location on beautiful Ossipee Lake with beaches, a marina, and kayak and SUP rentals. There is plenty to entertain the children, with playgrounds, bounce pillows, gaga pit, basketball, and tennis to name just a few. Kids were everywhere on their bicycles.

    They didn’t offer up prices when we stopped at the office, so I was dreading the worst, but when I checked online, the RV sites range from $50-56 with hookups, picnic table, and fire ring and there are special rates/deals for extended stays. These rates are a significantly lower than a nearby resort campground that starts at $65/night... but then I discovered this is only true during the shoulder season. My fears have been realized... peak season will set you back $87-95/ night and the camping cabin is $117. These are slightly more expensive than a nearby resort that offers a few more/ different amenities, albeit not on Ossipee Lake.

    Martin Stream Campground

    Three days in a cabin

    We rented a one room cabin that was perfect for two who flew in without camping gear. Fridge, coffee pot, microwave and AC. One queen bed and a bunk bed made for comfortable sleeping and a fire pit was even included. This site is located on a beautiful property and very quiet. There is also a pool and we’ll stocked store and the Zach and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating and that’s why I gave it five stares. We will stay again if in the area and I recommend you give this place a try. Trailer or tent sites are here as well as a ‘glamming’ canvas tent for a more romantic stay. 😉

    Martin Stream Campground

    Second stay

    We tented for two nights mid-week in 2020 and booked the cabin for Memorial Day weekend 2021. I thought we might like it less completely booked but that wasn't the case. The owners are quality people, the seasonal folks are super nice, the facilities are lovely. The weather was cold and rainy but there was still a great vibe and tons of activities. The cabin was cozy but had a microwave, coffee pot, and fridge (no need to worry about ice). Outside we had a canopy, fire ring and grill. The kids had a blast in the heated pool and on the playground.

    Runaround Woods

    Cool spot with super comfy cabins

    Super comfortable and cozy sleeping cabins in forest setting. Loved all the extras: wood-fire sauna, solar shower, cold plunge, picnic/eating space, outdoor seating spaces, games, fire pit, etc. We played the woodland disc golf course multiple times! Great way to experience the forest and end the day in cozy bed!! Ryan is an amazing host.

    Sandy Pines Campground

    Pristine beautiful campground

    This is high end camping! Cleanest nicest bathrooms and showers I’ve ever seen camping. Also fun game areas and a beautiful store which has good food too! The sites are very nice and not too close together. We tent camp but they also offer small cabins which looked adorable and glamping tents. Easy access to local trails and tourist spots. A fantastic campground I hope to return to

    Old Orchard Beach Campground

    Huge campground with lots of sites and amenities.

    Old Orchard Beach is a fun, family-oriented campground located in the fun little beach town of Old Orchard Beach. Old Orchard is known for their amusement park, arcade, pier, fun downtown, and expansive beach with seven miles of room to walk. Here you can stroll along the streets listening to the melodic sounds of an arcade, buy an airbrushed t-shirt and eat pier fries and fried dough. And the best thing is there is a trolley that takes you from the campground to the beach so you don’t have to deal with parking. 

    When the summer season is in full swing, there is lots to do in the campground and at the nearby Atlantic Ocean beach. There are lots of amenities in the campground like a basketball court, Wiffle ball field, horseshoes, badminton, playgrounds, arcade, swimming pools and hot tub, group bonfire, and dog park. The campground is quite large and divided into a variety of sections, some areas are all seasonal campers and others are for transients. The campground offers RV sites, cabin rentals, park model sites, and simple tent sites. We liked the sections in the back (Bear Brook and Black Forest) which are set away from the entrance and the majority of activities. We visited in the off-season but can only image the park gets pretty busy especially in the front section where the swimming pool, arcade, camp store, and other activities are located. The campground is gated which limits who can come into the park. If you want to have guests, plan on shelling out a bit of cash as it is $8/day for kids and $10 for adults and$12 for overnight guests. 

    Our gravel site was perfectly level with no potholes and the roads leading to our site were easy to navigate in our 45’ motorhome. The patio was gravel and there was some grass between campsites. Our picnic table was clean and not made of old rotten wood with sagging benches. There was not much shade at our site which was fine with us because it was October when we visited and wanted the sun. We were able to pick up wifi at our site because we were close to a tower. Our Verizon phone and hotspot worked great as did the parks cable television. The campground is just one mile from Old Orchard Beach and close to Route 1 which is the main corridor leading up and down the Maine coast. 

    The nearby town of Biddeford has some great restaurants(Palace Dinner, Run of the Mill Public House and Brewery, and Dunston Tab and Table). While the campground is large enough for a good long walk, we prefer to walk the wooded trails at Ferry Beach State Park. If you are looking for something for kids to do there is Funtown Splashtown which is a large water and amusement park and you can get discount tickets at the campgrounds camp store

    Chocorua KOA

    Small, quiet family campground

    The Chocorua KOA is a great campground with super friendly staff, a variety of sites and lots of activities and things to do for everyone in the family.

    We stayed with two other families on pull-through full hook-up sites 43, 45, and 47. Although we were on the main road, we really enjoyed these sites. They were wooded and in a central location close to the playgrounds, pavilion, beach and nature trails. Site 45 was pretty narrow but the other two sites had a bit more space so we mostly used 43 and 47 to hang out. We especially loved that the pull-through road behind our sites was not a main access road so we had a nice long stretch of road that was just for us. We played games and the kids road bikes without having to worry about cars driving through.

    There are also a lot of really nice tent sites along the water, cabins, teepees, lodges and great areas for groups to camp. They are fairly strict with quiet hours so it is a very quiet campground at night.

    The facilities are nice and clean. The pavilion and fire pit area are a nice place to gather with games and a mining station to enjoy. There are two playgrounds for little and big kids. The bathrooms are quite dated but clean. The pool is freezing cold so the kids didn’t swim much. The beach area is small and not deep enough to swim but the kids enjoyed playing in the sand and water. There are a lot of options for boat rentals- paddle boats, kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, and row boats. There is a beautiful board walk that leads through the marsh to a system of short nature trails. We really enjoyed walking the trails though some need a lot of work due to fallen trees and overgrowth. There were also a lot of free activities for the kids like crafts, wagon rides and games with a full schedule of events. You really never have to leave this campground!

    This is also an incredibly dog-friendly campground with a fun dog park, a special swimming pond just for dogs and doggie day care available. This is one of the most pet loving campgrounds we’ve ever camped in and our pup loved it!!

    We had a great trip and will definitely be back!

    Papoose Pond Family Campground and Cabins

    I GREW UP HERE

    My dad grew up going here and so did I. My siblings and I all learned to ride our bikes here. My nieces and nephews are now doing the same. Its where I learned to love nature. I became addicted to kayaking here and am now a wildlife ecologist!!! Its the PERFECT family campground. Kayak, canoe, SUP rentals, a carousel, pool, lake, hike, and sooooo many activities. I've stayed in tents, half moons (kitchen and bathroom but sleep in tent), cabins, RV sites....I LOVE this place so much. Its my childhood


Guide to Buxton

Cabin rentals near Buxton, Maine provide convenient access to southern Maine's outdoor recreation opportunities and coastal attractions. Most cabin campgrounds in this area operate seasonally from May through October with limited winter availability. The cabin lodging options vary significantly in size, amenities, and proximity to popular destinations like Old Orchard Beach and Kennebunkport.

What to do

Beach access options: Old Orchard Beach Campground features cabins within walking distance of sandy beaches and coastal entertainment. "There is a trolly that will take you to the city for $2, but if you have a bicycle it is a quick 15-minute ride to the beach," notes one visitor, who also mentions that "the city itself is super fun with lots of rides, good food, and you can even learn how to surf!"

Fishing opportunities: At Acres Of Wildlife Family Campground, cabin campers can fish in the on-site lake. A reviewer explains, "Huge campground on a lake with SO MANY activities, but also a lot of screaming kids. There's fishing, boats for rent, and an activity calendar to keep all ages entertained."

Kayaking from your cabin: Wild Duck Adult Campground & RV Park provides access to Scarborough Marsh. "This quiet campground is about a mile from the Eastern Trail through the Scarborough Marsh," reports one visitor, who adds, "Close to the city of Portland, about 20 minutes, but tucked away in the beautiful riverside marsh. Kayaks/canoes available at the front desk."

What campers like

Adult-only accommodations: Wild Duck Adult Campground offers cabins in a quieter setting without children. "This adult only campground is peaceful and quiet, with the sounds of birds and the trees being the main thing you hear - it is quite relaxing," writes one camper, who appreciates that "the bathrooms were very clean. There is a small camp store that sells wood."

Farm-based cabin stays: Wolfe's Neck Oceanfront Campground combines cabins with a working farm environment. "A unique opportunity to stay and relax on a farm by the ocean. We stayed on waters edge in a band of trees, breezes, birds, and fish jumping," explains a visitor. Another adds, "My kids enjoyed visiting with the farm animals and walking along the rocky shore each day."

Upscale cabin options: Sandy Pines Campground in Kennebunkport offers more luxurious cabin rentals. "Sandy Pines has impeccably maintained campsites for all style of camper and tent. If you do not have either one, you can rent one of their super funky Gypsy Wagons, A Frame chalets or Glam-tents on the platform," describes one reviewer.

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Most cabin rentals near Buxton close during winter months. One camper noted about Paradise Park Resort, "Nice little campground with many amenities which unfortunately shut down the weekend before we arrived."

Reservation requirements: Advance booking is essential, particularly for summer weekends. At Bayley's Camping Resort, "Nightly rates in peak season are outrageous but you can find much cheaper rates if you stay in the shoulder season or go with 30 amp electric and no sewer," advises a visitor.

Noise levels vary significantly: Some cabin areas can be quite busy. A Wild Acres Sun RV Resort visitor reports, "More of a festival than an RV resort. Extremely crowded, close sites, and heavy car traffic in walking and bike areas. Sun night was way quieter than Fri and Sat night."

Check pet policies: Rules regarding pets in cabins differ between properties. One Old Orchard Beach Campground guest mentions, "Dog and kid friendly," while another notes at Wild Acres the "dog fee was steep 25/pup."

Tips for camping with families

Look for activity-focused cabins: Paradise Park Resort provides numerous family amenities with their cabin rentals. "This campground is very cute, oriented to families and couples. There are multiple pools and playgrounds. One pool has a hot tub for kids. There's also paddleboats available to rent," describes one visitor.

Consider cabin location: At larger properties, cabin placement matters. "Depending on your site location you may get more privacy than if you stay in the big rig sites. The wooded sites tend to be more private and less loud. Staying by any of the pools will be louder," notes a Bayley's Camping Resort camper.

Pack entertainment for rainy days: Maine weather can be unpredictable. A visitor to Old Orchard Beach Campground appreciated that "there is pinball, Pac-Man, and pool table! But, if you want to stick with the normal stuff, they also have basketball courts, badminton courts, horseshoes, and tons more."

Tips from RVers

Site selection strategies: At Wolfe's Neck Oceanfront Campground, "There are tenting spots, camper spots and field spots. I recommend any with tree coverage. There are bathrooms close by to all, the main lodge is nice and the food at the snack shack is sooo good!"

Hookup configurations: Check utility placement before arrival. An Acres Of Wildlife camper warns, "Be sure to bring extensions for electrical and sewer as a lot of sites are set up with difficult connection spots. Relatively level sites, long dirt road to get to is a bit of a problem."

Internet connectivity concerns: Cabin renters who need connectivity should verify options. "The wifi was pretty terrible. We paid extra for what was supposed to be fast, streamable wifi, but at times that didn't work at all or was very slow," reports a Sun Outdoors Old Orchard Beach Downtown guest.
