2 campgrounds with availability this weekend
North Bridgton features several cabin rental options within established campgrounds like Lakeside Pines Campground and Papoose Pond Family Campground and Cabins. Most cabins include basic furnishings with electricity, beds, and picnic tables. Larger units often provide kitchen facilities with refrigerators, microwaves, and coffee makers, while smaller cabins may offer only simple sleeping quarters. Some locations provide cabins with private bathrooms and showers, while others require guests to use communal facilities. Many cabins include heating systems for cooler months, though air conditioning is less common. "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."
Cabin types vary significantly across the region, from basic one-room structures to multi-room family accommodations. Many properties operate seasonally, typically from May through mid-October, with reservations strongly recommended during summer months. Lakeside Pines Campground in North Bridgton remains open from Memorial Day to September 15, while nearby Papoose Pond operates from mid-May to Columbus Day. Most cabins are pet-friendly with specific policies varying by location. According to one visitor, "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."
Visitors should plan to bring their own bedding, pillows, and towels as these are rarely provided in standard cabin rentals. Basic cooking utensils and dishware may be included, but it's advisable to confirm what's available when booking. While most cabin properties maintain on-site stores with essential camping supplies and groceries, selection is typically limited to basics. For more extensive shopping needs, nearby towns offer grocery stores and outdoor equipment retailers. Fire rings are standard at most cabin sites, often with cooking grates, making it easy to prepare meals outdoors when weather permits.

LegendThis is a great campground for families! Conveniently situated for skiing, climbing, hiking and leaf peeping. Amenities include; swimming pool, dog park, horseshoes, arcade, disc golf, basketball and more! They also have a propane fill station. As KOA’s go, you will pay for these amenities, but you get a lot of bang for your buck.
TravelerRelaxing! Fun! Camping the way camping should be!! Nice wooded sites! Super friendly seasonals! The owner is the best and his campground is beautiful! You can tell he puts the “happy” in camping!! Stay Happy!!
ScoutVery Clean. They mow something everyday. Asphalt roads. Easy access to every spot. Extra clean showers and restrooms. They have activities for all ages. But no dog park. Why not? They have plenty of room.
TravelerWe come to this campground every year to hike a few 4000+ mountains. Typically we come in the fall. There are several full hook up rv sites, some without sewer and several spots for RVs near the river. While the pizza shop (Celli's) is closed for renovations right now, we love their pizza and fries. The bathrooms are decent and there is hot water!
GuideThis is one of our “go to” campgrounds when in NH. Super clean and good mountain biking.
TravelerPark is nestled in the woods with a lot of activities outdoors. Walking trails for people and dogs. Great laundry, bathrooms, office/store, cafe. The roads into the sites are tight but they guide you. We have a 30’ trailer and 20’ truck, I wouldn’t bring a trailer longer than 35’ in unless you are really good in tight spaces. Site 110 is a great pull thru.
TravelerLarge sites, clean pit toilets, in a beautiful, wooded campground adjacent to the Swift River.
Camp host, who’s been there for many years, keeps things clean, organized, and quiet.
Most sites can handle multiple big tents. Plenty of toilet houses and dumpsters available.
The great boulder loop trail is right there. It’s a very short walk to the trail head and it has gorgeous views of the swift river valley with much lower crowds than the major peaks in the whites.
Grab a drink and your chairs and take a short walk on one of the paths to the swift river and hang out a while.
GuideSeems clean and well-kept. Staff in the office are friendly and helpful.
ScoutWe showed up early (10:50 am) and asked to check in prior to the 12 pm check-in time. The owner was working and she told us we could not. I walked over and saw that our site was empty, so my wife asked the owner again if we could check in early as there was nobody there and we had two 16-mo babies who were ready to get out of the car. She then kicked us off the property. This was on a festival weekend with nowhere else to stay, and I told her that. The owner did not care and we had to drive 2 ours home.
Cabins near North Bridgton, Maine range from rustic sleeping quarters to full amenities in properties situated on Long Lake and surrounding water bodies. The region experiences cool evenings even in summer months, with overnight temperatures often dropping to the 50s°F. Rental accommodations typically operate seasonally from May through October, with availability limited during peak summer weekends.
Water activities on Trickey Pond: Located at Loon's Haven Family Campground, this crystal-clear pond offers swimming, boating, and fishing opportunities. "The pond is crystal clear and we boated over to one of the small islands to find a rope swing which provided entertainment and memories for my children," notes one visitor.
Golfing access: Many cabin rentals provide convenient access to area golf courses. At Point Sebago Resort, cabins include access to their on-site course. "This is a large resort with a golf course attached, there are golf carts everywhere. Probably 75%+ of the sites are camphomes, which are single wide 2 bedroom rentable cabins," explains a guest.
Kayaking on Long Lake: Numerous cabin properties provide direct water access for paddling. "We tent camped here not for the family fun, but because we wanted to be able to slip into our kayaks for an early paddle with the loons, bald eagles, and herons," reports a visitor at Poland Spring Campground.
Private beach access: Waterfront cabins often include dedicated beach areas. "Long Lake, Maine. Some lakeside sites. Lots of wooded sites with easy access to the lake," mentions a camper at Lakeside Pines Campground.
Wildlife viewing: The lakes and ponds around North Bridgton cabins provide excellent wildlife spotting opportunities. "Had an amazing experience when loons took off from the far end of the lake and came in right beside and over us for a landing. We visited in late August and enjoyed seeing mature and immature bald eagles, too," reports a Poland Spring Campground visitor.
Cabin variety: Rental options range from basic structures to multi-room units. "They offer everything from a basic site to cottages. Nightly events for adults kids and family. Kayak/canoe rentals an amazing beach," states a camper at Papoose Pond Family Campground and Cabins.
Booking requirements: Most cabin properties require substantial advance reservations, especially for summer weekends. "We booked for next Memorial weekend while there because we had so much fun," mentions a visitor at Acres of Wildlife Family Campground.
Bathroom facilities: Cabin restroom arrangements vary significantly between properties. "We stay in an HHK which is a site that has its own electric stove, kitchen sink, covered picnic table, and small bathroom in the back! It's definitely more lux than a standard site, but it makes camping with kids insanely easy," notes a Papoose Pond guest.
Cell service: Connectivity varies throughout the region, with some properties offering WiFi at central buildings only. "Internet connection extremely slow. Bath house was extremely clean and tidy," reports an Eastern Slope Camping Area visitor.
Playgrounds and recreation: Many cabin facilities include multiple play areas. "There are three playgrounds, a swimming lake, kayaks, canoes, paddleboats, tie-dying, a great camp store, a bar for adults, ice cream bar for kids and nightly firetruck rides," explains an Acres of Wildlife visitor.
Activity calendars: Check for scheduled events during your stay. "Tuesday trivia, Wednesday beach party, Thursday dance party, and Friday karaoke- the latter being the most fun! There are so many things for kids to do throughout as well, there's very little time for down time or boredom," notes a Papoose Pond camper.
Site selection: Consider location within the campground when booking cabins. "Pond side is a lot more crowded and desired so if you're more into a quiet experience, stick to pool side," advises a Papoose Pond visitor.
Limited maneuverability: Many cabin-focused properties have tight access roads. "Trees and roots everywhere making it impossible to take turns and forget about kids on bikes! I cleaned so many wounds during our stay from my kids falling off their bikes thanks to the landscape," cautions a Poland Spring Campground visitor.
Site configuration: Confirm utility layouts before arrival. "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," advises an Acres of Wildlife visitor.
Off-season considerations: Early and late season cabin rentals may have limited amenities. "We went the last weekend they were open for the season (sometime in October) and it was a blast! Tent sites were spacious and had a decent amount of privacy. Electric and water hookups at tent sites," notes an Acres of Wildlife camper.
