Cabin accommodations near Limington provide access to the lakes and forests of southern Maine's inland region, where elevations range between 300-600 feet. Located about 30 miles from Portland, the Limington area experiences typical New England seasonal patterns with summer high temperatures averaging 75-85°F. Cabins remain available primarily from May through mid-October, with some properties extending availability through leaf-peeping season.
What to do
Paddling opportunities: At Wild Duck Adult Campground, campers gain access to the Scarborough Marsh waterways. "There is a culvert under Rt 9 that you need to pass under which is dangerous - the Audubon Center informed us that people have flipped in the culvert due to the current," notes one visitor at Wild Duck Adult Campground, highlighting the importance of launching from designated areas.
Hiking access: Trails connect to several cabin locations with varying difficulty levels. Danforth Bay provides on-property hiking options as mentioned by a camper: "Mary's mountain is a nice hike accessible from the RV/Boat storage area." The trail requires moderate fitness and takes approximately 45 minutes to complete.
Winter sports: While most cabins close for winter, Point Sebago Resort maintains some year-round cabins with proximity to regional ski areas. A recent visitor praised the lake access: "The key draw to this place for me is Sebago lake, which connects to Long Lake, and is some of the best boating I've done. The water is clean and clear."
What campers like
Privacy levels: Campers appreciate varying degrees of privacy between cabin properties. According to one Acres Of Wildlife Family Campground guest, "The space between us and our neighbors is significant." This contrasts with other properties where cabins are positioned more closely together.
Lake swimming: Bunganut Lake cabins provide direct water access. "Has a dock and swimming area, clean bathrooms and showers are a little bit of a hike uphill from the beach area," reports a visitor. The swimming area is roped off for safety and features a gradual entry point suitable for children.
Recreation facilities: "Very nice campground that caters to adults only. It is quite relaxing. It has both tent and rv sites, some with full hookup and some with power and water only," explains a reviewer about the quieter atmosphere at Wild Duck Adult Campground, where cabins cater primarily to couples and older travelers.
What you should know
Seasonal rates: Cabin rental rates fluctuate significantly based on season and day of week. Weekends during July-August typically cost 30-50% more than midweek stays. "We visit in the off-season but can only imagine the park gets pretty busy especially in the front section where the swimming pool, arcade, camp store, and other activities are located," notes a reviewer at Old Orchard Beach Campground.
Site positioning: Many cabin rentals feature significant elevation changes. A Family and Friends Campground visitor mentioned, "Very wooded area. Hard to maneuver big rigs. Steep, unleveled roads." This topography affects accessibility for guests with mobility concerns.
Water quality: Some properties have mineral-rich well water. "Water is yellow and stunk of iron. Manager assured it was safe. Made our shower look dirty constantly," reported one camper at Family and Friends Campground. Bringing drinking water is recommended at certain locations.
Tips for camping with families
Entertainment options: Danforth Bay Camping & RV Resort provides structured activities throughout the day. "They have volleyball courts as well as a swim area with a dock, that I spent soon much time on," noted a visitor. Activities are typically scheduled between 9am-5pm with evening programs on weekends.
Noise considerations: Family-oriented cabin areas can get noisy during peak season. A visitor at Acres Of Wildlife Family Campground stated, "Huge campground on a lake with SO MANY activities, but also a lot of screaming kids." Requesting cabins in quieter sections works best for light sleepers.
Budget planning: Additional fees apply for many cabin amenities. "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," explained a camper at Old Orchard Beach Campground. Most properties charge extra for boat rentals, recreation equipment, and guest passes.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Bayley's Camping Resort offers both wooded and open cabin locations. "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," explains a regular visitor. Cabins near recreational facilities experience more foot traffic and noise.
Booking timing: Reserve cabins well in advance, especially for weekend dates. "We were given tent site 83, this was AWFUL, do everything you can to avoid this and similar numbers, it is directly across from the bathroom and they leave the very bright lights on all night," cautioned a Bayley's visitor. Researching specific site numbers before booking prevents disappointment.
Internet connectivity: Most cabin locations offer limited WiFi coverage. "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," reported a camper. Connection strength varies significantly between properties and specific cabin locations.
