Best Cabin Camping near Ogunquit, ME

Cabin accommodations in campgrounds near Ogunquit provide options for visitors seeking more shelter than tent camping. Sandy Pines Campground and Thousand Trails Moody Beach offer cabin rentals with varying levels of amenities. Most cabins include electricity, beds, and basic furniture, though amenities differ between locations. Sandy Pines features more upscale cabin options with modern furnishings, while others like Dixons Coastal Maine Campground provide more rustic settings. "The cabins are on a remote lake. Perfect for star gazing! Rustic but comfy (beds) cabins. Bring all your own stuff. No electricity, so no lights."

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Several campgrounds, including Red Apple Campground and Lazy Frog Campground, accommodate pets in select cabins, though policies vary by property. Peak season typically runs from May through mid-October, with most properties closing during winter months. Reservations are recommended, especially for summer weekends and holiday periods. According to one visitor, "Our cabin had a steep path. Others did not." Cape Neddick Oceanside Campground and Beaver Dam Campground maintain cabin rental programs with specific check-in procedures, often requiring security deposits.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Basic kitchen setups vary significantly—some offer only outdoor fire pits and picnic tables while others include small refrigerators or microwaves. On-site camp stores at locations like Red Apple Campground and Sandy Pines stock firewood, ice, and limited groceries. One camper shared: "The site was small and between the two driveways. All of the sites seem to have rocky ground, so I recommend a sleep pad and a footprint for your tent so you don't rip the bottom." General stores and supermarkets in nearby towns provide additional supplies for longer stays.

    Pawtuckaway State Park Campground

    Large and friendly park with plenty of water activity opportunities

    My first time experiencing a park in the New Hampshire Park system. We went down with a group. Pawtuckaway State Park offers a variety of landscapes, with something to do and see for everyone. The park includes a large family beach on the lake. There are many opportunities for hiking, with trails leading to many special points of interest, including a mountaintop fire tower; an extensive marsh where beavers, deer, and great blue herons may be seen.

    The park lines the shore of beautiful Pawtuckaway Lake.  The 192 sites are wooded and many provide views of the lake.  Each campsite has an open fire ring, picnic table, flat areas for a tent, and a parking space. The bathhouses are equipped with running water, flush toilets, and 24 hour showers.  There are no hook-ups at any of the campsites. The park also has a camp store where canoe and kayaks are available, as well as a plublic canoe and kayak launch. Five cabins are available; each sleeps six people, has electricity, and includes a fire ring and picnic table. Pets are not allowed in the campground or beach area of the park.

    Dixons Coastal Maine Campground

    Short stay, good experience

    This was a waypoint for our trip to Deer Isle. Our plan was to spend two nights for a rest from driving. The day spent here was to wander along the coast and bask in the sea air. So this was a pretty good campground for that purpose. We were here the very end of August on a Monday and there were very few campers. This is an old style campground where they escort you to your site and help get you in if you need help. It is family oriented with playgrounds and a pool. Pet friendly, quiet when we were there. It is not far from Ogunquit and Cape Neddick. The facilities appeared clean and functional, we did not use them though, we had water and electric hookups. The site we were on did not have much privacy but many others did. There are sites with trees over head as well. Don’t miss Nubble Light House and Fox’s Lobster house. Around the corner is a great Ice Cream shop.

    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.

    Winding River Campground

    Fun laid back place. This campground has a lot of potential. Some info on their website and Facebook isn’t accurate.

    I would like to share my experience this past weekend at Winding River in Exeter NH. My family of 3 Stayed at tent site 523 in the Oak area. We also had family at 553 and 554 and Cabin 2.

    About site 523: I clearly had one of the largest and most private tent sites. It was set back with a long driveway tucked between 522 and 524. It’s a very steep drop into the river making most sites a little nerve wracking with a little one. Online it said water available nearby. Most sites had a hookup but there wasn’t a one on my site. It looked like there may have been one to share on the road, but I didn’t end up needing to figure that out.

    Tent sites 522 and 524: Along with most of the tent sites these sites were very close to each other, much smaller and closer to the road. I wished my family members had gotten 552 and 553 as they blended together nicely if you are tenting in side by side spaces. The ground was very rocky making staking tents down difficult. They were right next to the bathroom which was convenient but loud. Ventilation in the bathroom was not good so the doors were propped open much of the time and loud hand dryers.

    Shower:

    • This is the smaller of the two bathrooms in the campground. There are 2 showers there. Each with a single insufficient curtain and no hooks on the wall or bench to place things down. Water was hot enough, pressure was ok if you set it to the high power massage-like setting.
    • The showers in other bathroom (near the town center area) had a door and two curtains. Some had hooks (some of which were broken). I almost tripped going in and out of these bathroom stalls because they are raised up but there is no marking on the ground to indicate that.

    Cabin 2: Ac worked well. There was a good sized bed downstairs, smaller beds in two lofts. I was surprised the couch didn’t pull out. Fridge and all dishes were nice and clean. All the cabins seem to have different back porch setups. This porch was smaller than C1. There was a propane grill that smelled rancid with sooo much caked on The burners. The location of the ceiling fan under the other lights in the ceiling gave them a flashing effect that really bothered me.

    Pros:

    • Lower price compared to other campgrounds (but I don’t feel like I got everything advertised on the website)
    • Two playgrounds, both were nice.
    • Water slide was fun
    • We arrived Thursday at the gate and were told how to get to our site, to set up and then come over to the office which was nice.

    Cons:

    • The river is very low and yucky so none of the boating or fishing advertised was possible. likely causing the massive amount of mosquitos.
    • The whole arcade building was was “out of order”
    • The laundry room had two washers (one was broken) and two dryers 2.50 each per load. Not sufficient for a campground this size (especially when people leave their clothes in the machine for 30 mins after they’re done!)
    • Camp store was poorly stocked (multiple empty coolers).
    • Ice $3 per SMALL bag.
    • Wood $10 per bundle and rules say you can’t bring from off-site. I saw people with huge metal bins of wood but was never offered that option when I payed for multiple bundles.
    • Camp store closes at 3 on Sunday and doesn’t open until 11 am during the week (which is also checkout). This made it a little confusing when I wanted to return the golf cart. They have a small area with icecream that is scooped and maybe a kitchen. I never saw it open but I think the sign said open morning to 12 and then again in the evening.
    • The pool was green and cloudy on day 3. I called the office and was told they had just shocked it and that was a result of the copper. I am not informed enough on pool safety so I opted out of swimming on the hottest day of our stay. My son was bummed.
    • Planned activities were only scheduled for Friday and Saturday, when online mentions “daily”. During adult kareoke there were plenty of kids and really poor wifi (wasting so much time between songs).

    And just to add:

    • Staff I encountered was friendly enough, but It would be nice if they wore shirts to identify themselves.
    • Golf cart was great, but cost more than the site per night.
    • Pedal go-carts were available for rent (I didn’t ask a price).

    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

    Bear Brook State Park Campground

    Convenient and fun

    The park was easy to get to, only about half an hour from Manchester. It has kayak rentals and a very well stocked camp store, that was close to the camp sites. Our campsite was only about a hundred feet away from the camp store but still felt private.

    Our campsite also had a fire pit and a picnic table which were great.

    The size of the sites varies quite a bit though as well as their isolation, some were out in the open.

    For cell service: ATT seems to have pretty decent coverage but not Verizon.

    Bear Brook State Park Campground

    Bearbrook Pros and Cons

    Con: Signage is awful! Hard to find park, office and cabins! Once there, Looong drive to both campground and Cabins.

    Pro: cabins are on a remote lake. Perfect for star gazing! Rustic but comfy (beds) cabins. Bring all your own stuff. No electricity, so no lights. Our cabin had a steep path. Others did not.

    Thousand Trails Moody Beach

    Great location friendly staff

    We came in in October, the foliage is beautiful on the “wooded” sites. There are new sites with gravel and no trees as well, we had our choice. The wooded sites are pull through and back in, depending on the row. There are cabins and rentals as well. Fire pits and charcoals grills at all wooded sites. Family friendly facility with a playground. Lounge closed for Covid, pool closed for season. Events and activities are run by management. Great location for beach and stores.


Guide to Ogunquit

Ogunquit, Maine sits on the southern coast of the state, featuring a shoreline of sandy beaches bordered by rocky cliffs and tidal marshlands. The area experiences warm summers with temperatures averaging 75-80°F during peak camping months and cooler evenings around 55-60°F. Several campgrounds near Ogunquit offer cabin accommodations with varying levels of amenities, from rustic shelters to fully-equipped cottages with kitchenettes.

What to do

Kayaking at tidal marshes: Sandy Pines Campground offers direct marsh access for water activities. "The back end of the campground is a salt marsh, campers can put in canoes and kayaks right from the campground," notes reviewer Steve K. The marshlands connect to tidal rivers flowing to the ocean.

Beach exploration along coastline: Multiple beaches within 10-15 minutes of most campgrounds. "The beach and historic area were only a 10 minute drive!" explains Cat R. in her review of Sandy Pines. Beach access varies by season, with some parking areas requiring permits during summer months.

Biking through nature preserves: Cape Neddick Oceanside Campground offers proximity to local trail systems. "York is wonderful with lots of stores and good food, and even a small 'mountain' to hike or drive up for gorgeous views," mentions Jessica A. The Emmitt Smith and Tyler Preserves provide established biking trails.

What campers like

Clean, modern facilities: Many campgrounds invest in quality bathhouses and amenities. One camper at Dixons Coastal Maine Campground noted, "The pool and restrooms are spotless. There are yurts, power and water available, plus tent-only sites." Well-maintained facilities consistently receive positive mentions across reviews.

Scenic water views: Waterfront sites provide natural beauty and recreational opportunities. "Our tent site at Sandy Pines was a bit small, and we were a bit closer to the people in the sites on each side than we would have liked, but overall, we had a good stay. We could hear the ocean from our site and had a nice view of the marsh area behind us," shares Michelle.

Proximity to coastal attractions: Cabin camping near Ogunquit offers convenient access to nearby towns. "This spot is central to local spots in Ogunquit, ME or Wells, ME," notes a reviewer of Thousand Trails Moody Beach. Most major attractions fall within 5-25 minutes of area campgrounds.

What you should know

Seasonal operation: Most campgrounds open mid-May through mid-October. "We came in in October, the foliage is beautiful on the 'wooded' sites," reports Kasey M. about Moody Beach. Facilities may have limited operation during shoulder seasons.

Site spacing varies significantly: Campgrounds differ in site layout and privacy. "The sites in the front are the newest area of the park and mainly available for the 50AMP consumers," explains a reviewer at Moody Beach. Some campgrounds offer more wooded seclusion while others have open field arrangements.

Reservation requirements: Popular cabin options book quickly, especially waterfront units. "This place isn't for everyone, and it's hard to get into. They pretty much keep a 'No Vacancy' sign out all the time, you really need to stop and ask if there is anything available," explains Jessica A. about Cape Neddick Oceanside Campground.
