    Several cabin accommodations near Sorrento, Maine provide waterfront views and proximity to Acadia National Park. Cabin campgrounds near Sorrento range from rustic single-room structures to furnished cabins with private bathrooms, making them a practical base for exploring the Maine coast. Most cabins include basic furnishings with beds, tables, and chairs, while bathroom facilities vary from private attached bathrooms to shared campground facilities. Electricity is standard in most cabins, with heating options ranging from electric heaters to wood stoves depending on the season. "Our family of four stayed in a camping cabin for 5 days at the end of June. The cabin contained a queen sized bed and a set of bunk beds. It also had a private bathroom with metered shower. 50 cents got you a hot, 7 minute shower, which was plenty of time!"

    Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Bar Harbor Oceanside KOA provides furnished cabin rentals with more amenities than standard campground cabins, while smaller operations like Hadley's Point Campground offer basic cabin structures with varying levels of furnishing. Reservation policies typically require booking well in advance, especially during peak summer season from June through August. Most cabin sites allow pets with appropriate restrictions and additional fees. Seasonal availability varies significantly, with some properties closing entirely from late October through early May due to weather conditions. According to one visitor, "We stayed in a camping cabin for 5 nights in August, and loved it for so many reasons. Our campsite had a fire ring and picnic table and room for our car."

    Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities range from none (requiring all meals to be prepared at outdoor fire rings) to basic setups with microwaves and mini-refrigerators. Firewood is available for purchase at most campgrounds including Smuggler's Den Campground and Mt Desert Narrows Camping Resort, though some prohibit outside firewood due to pest concerns. Small camp stores offer essential supplies and ice, while larger grocery stores can be found in Bar Harbor and Ellsworth. Visitors staying at cabins near Winter Harbor have fewer shopping options but gain quieter surroundings away from the more crowded areas of Mount Desert Island.

      Hadley's Point Campground

      Just outside of Acadia National Park

      our family of four (my Husband and I and our 2 boys) stayed in a camping cabin for 5 days at the end of June. The cabin contained a queen sized bed and a set of bunk beds. It also had a private bathroom with metered shower. 50 cents got you a hot, 7 minute shower, which was plenty of time! You need to supply your own linens and towels. Toilet paper, garbage bags and a broom/dustpan are supplied. There was a fire ring outside of the cabin and a picnic table. We purchased firewood at a stand close to the campground. We found the cabins to be spaced far enough apart that we had peace and quiet and privacy. If you had wanted to make friends with your neighbors, you could. We noticed lots of families with children staying in the cabins area. The campground itself had a heated swimming pool. Best of all, the campground was on the Island Explorer bus route, which is a series of busses that take you to different areas of Acadia National Park and into the surrounding towns. Once you arrive at the campground, you wouldn’t need to use your car again!

      Rest Ashore Cottages

      Great waterfront getaway near the quiet side of Acadia National Park

      If you are looking for a Maine coastal getaway in a beautiful location that is away from crowds, Rest Ashore Cottages are perfect. This property features ten relatively new cottages located right on a quiet bay along the beautiful Maine coast. Some are right on the water and others are set back a row but all have access to a private sandy and rocky beach. The cottages vary in bedrooms and size ranging from king beds to bunks and able to sleep up to six people. Cottages with bunks for kids provide toys and games for their enjoyment. Each cottage has an outdoor picnic table and BBQ grill. There is a shared fire pit and gathering area on the beach and multiple play areas for kids with digging equipment to keep them busy. Units are fully furnished with an array of kitchen appliances (some even have a dishwasher and washer/dryer) and include linens. Their website has a detailed description of what is included in each cottage and the sleeping arrangements. Their cancellation policy is great – if you cancel 30 days prior to arrival, you receive a one hundred percent refund. 

      The cottages are located a short drive to the Schoodic Woods section of Acadia National Park in Winter Harbor, known as the “Quiet Side” of Acadia. Be forewarned, this is not the main section of Acadia near Bar Harbor on Mt. Desert Island. This section of the park does have plenty of hiking and biking opportunities with miles of carriage roads and trails and plenty of gorgeous views of the rocky coastline. There are also many great picnic areas and places to paddle and fish. A great place to visit is the Schoodic Institute Visitor Center that has lots of history and information about Acadia, the Maine coastline, and the research facility. If you want to visit Bar Harbor, there is a ferry from Winter Harbor that takes you across the bay on a 45-minute boat ride. If you don’t have a car, the Island Explorer (a free bus service) will take you around the park and over to Bar Harbor. There is a small grocery in Winter Harbor and plenty of restaurants within a 10-minute drive.

      Bar Harbor/Oceanside KOA

      Cabin Sweet Cabin

      My cousins, my husband and our dog rented a deluxe cabin in September, and it was perfect. The cabin provided all of the amenities of a home including linens, dishes, cookware, heat, a/c and even cable tv. Outside we had a small deck with a grill and a fire pit on the ground. It was the perfect place for our group of six to retire at the end of a day of hiking.

      The cabin we stayed in was not secluded in any way. Our neighbors were right next to us on all sides, but it wasn't a problem for us at all. Just something to keep in mind if you're looking for a more rustic experience.

      Hadley's Point Campground

      Pet and family friendly campground BUT crowded and crawling with ticks

      Hadley's Point is a private campground just outside Acadia National Park. This campground prides itself on being family-friendly and welcoming to pets.

      Children are allowed to bike throughout the campground until dusk. While we stayed, there was a campground-wide Fourth of July bike parade. The kids loved it. 

      Pets are welcome but cannot be abandoned in the motorhome when you leave. Plan to take your pet with you everywhere.

      Hadley's Point offers laundry facilities, showers, a heated pool, cornhole, and shuffleboard. While the pool is heated, it is not hot -- or even very warm. But this is Maine we are talking about, and I'm sure that the water was warmer than it would otherwise have been. 

      The campground is primarily designed to accommodate RVs and motorhomes. The large fields and open lots for RVs provide ample parking and the campground offered electricity as well as other hookups. 

      Cute cabins offer cozy sleeping (but no running water) for visitors without tents or RVs. 

      We brought our tent and felt a little like second-class citizens at this RV-focused campground. The tent sites were tiny. Our large van, tent, and screened-in pavilion covered the entire site, leaving very little walking space. Our site also lacked trees for shade and hammocks. 

      Worse yet, the campground has an infestation of Black-Legged Deer Ticks -- the ticks responsible for Lyme disease. We found two on our son during our stay. I hope they treat for these ticks soon because it poses a huge risk to their campers. 

      There is a lot of potential for this campground but they need to spray the grounds for ticks and create more comfortable sites. They could be awesome if they shifted their focus from trying to fit as many people as possible to creating a comfortable camping experience for all. 

      Pros:

      - Heated pool

      - Bathrooms cleaned regularly

      - Laundry

      - Good price

      - Good location

      - Playground

      - Kid and pet friendly

      - Island Explorer Bus stops at the campground

      Cons:

      - Cramped sites

      - Ticks

      - Crowded

      Smuggler's Den Campground

      Great Campground

      Amazing campground. Staff is extremely friendly. Campground has a small camp store, a heated pool and children's pool, large home style gas grills with picnic area, horseshoe pits, a large playground for children and a large field for anything from badminton to football. Multiple sights with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. This campground has every possible kind of sight, RV, pop-up, tent, Cabin, Rustic Cabin, and tents on platforms. All sights are decently leveled having some slight grades for drainage so no sights are flooded. Camp store has firewood, ice and other essentials including live lobsters. Campground is extremely close to Acadia Nation Park and does have access to a few parts of the park within walking distance. Local brewery and Winery within a 15 minute drive of the camp ground. There is a local grocery store and ice cream shop within walking distance of the campground. Downtown Bar Harbor is only a 25 minute drive away.

      Bass Harbor Campground

      Honeymoon Campground

      My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon to Acadia National Park! We stayed in a small cabin and it was perfect for our stay. Weather was a bit cold when we were there (October 2018), but there was a space heater. Had space to prepare food as well as a microwave, fire pit, and grill for use. The showers and bathroom were well maintained and close to the cabins. Walking distance to the Bass Harbor Lighthouse and other National Park hiking trails. We loved it and look forward returning for another trip!

      Seawall Campground — Acadia National Park

      Overall, a great choice!

      This is a national park campsite. First impressions, really good!

      When you enter you pass by a ranger booth to register, etc. Definitely grab the campground map! Why? Because you are given a free handful of wood and the map will show you where to pick it up. We didn’t realize until later and bought some on the way in. Don’t be us.

      We stayed in D loop, which are all walk-up. Some are closer to the parking lot than others. Ours was D84. It had a pretty good sized space, and plenty of good area for our tent. Had a picnic table and a fire ring with a grate you could place over for cooking, if so inclined.

      The bathrooms. We noticed they were cleaned every morning, and we stayed during the weekend. During the day of course they can get somewhat dirty but nothing crazy. No showers. Water spouts were ample and spread across the campground. They also had a dish washing station in the bathroom building, in a separate room. Trash bins were also right in the parking lot.

      The space itself was kind of close to our neighbors but not like we were on top of each other. Everyone was courteous and the noise level was fine. Seemed like around 10/11, everyone went to bed and it was very quiet.

      The campground location itself. It’s actually kind of great. It is not right next to the actual park, in a not heavily trafficked area. As a result, it’s peaceful. And you have the town of Southwest Harbor right next to it. You actually have to drive through it to get here. It’s got some shops and restaurants but a lot less people than Bar Harbor. It took us ~25 min to get to the other side and to the park itself.

      The only con. Mosquitoes. Everywhere. All the time. The fire will scare them off or fry em, but no fire = you become a delicious blood flavored snack bar. Bring bug spray!

      HTR Acadia

      Peaceful getaway

      I showed up to Maine unprepared with a place to stay. Somes Sound View Campground was the only campground I could find in the area with availability. The entire staff during my 6 nights was very friendly. I stayed at two different sites during my stay due to my first one being reserved after my fourth night. Both sites were very nice. The sites were equipped with hammock trees, fire rings, picnic tables, and even running water and electricity! One of the nights we heard a bunch of coyotes howling nearby which was pretty cool. Very clean and nice showers too

    Guide to Sorrento

    Cabins near Sorrento, Maine offer visitors access to both Frenchman Bay and Mount Desert Narrows, with elevations ranging from sea level to 1,000+ feet in nearby hiking areas. The region experiences morning fog that typically burns off by mid-morning, especially during summer months when cabin camping is most popular. Waterfront accommodations provide direct access to tidal waters that fluctuate 10-12 feet daily.

    What to do

    Kayak from your cabin site: At Acadia Seashore Camping and Cabins, you can launch directly from the property. "We got to hike some of the best spots without the crowds and even got to catch starfish at a spot nearby," notes Balon N.

    Explore Schoodic Peninsula: The less-crowded section of Acadia National Park is accessible from cabin rentals in the area. "This branch of Acadia requires a full hour's journey from the Mount Desert side by car," explains LoneCamper C. from Schoodic Woods Campground.

    Take advantage of shuttle services: Free transportation makes exploring easier from your cabin base. "The Island Explorer bus for Acadia National Park stops at the campground, so you have easy access without driving, if desired," reports Heather C. who stayed at Bar Harbor Oceanside KOA.

    What campers like

    Cabins with waterfront access: Ocean views are a major draw for cabin campers. "Our waterfront site 344 was terrific - gorgeous view, and one of the larger waterfront spots. We could launch our kayaks directly from the site," shares Heather C. at Bar Harbor Oceanside KOA.

    Private cabin areas: Many campgrounds separate cabin sections from other camping areas. "We found the cabins to be spaced far enough apart that we had peace and quiet and privacy. If you had wanted to make friends with your neighbors, you could," notes a visitor at Hadley's Point Campground.

    Clean bathroom facilities: Cabin campers value well-maintained restrooms. "Very clean bathrooms and dish wash station. Free bus ride around the loop and to the Schoodic point," writes Jae H. who stayed at Schoodic Woods Campground.

    What you should know

    Booking timeline requirements: Reserve well in advance, especially for premium cabin sites. "You need to supply your own linens and towels. Toilet paper, garbage bags and a broom/dustpan are supplied," explains a camper from Hadley's Point Campground.

    Tidal changes affect water activities: Be aware of significant water level fluctuations. "You have about a four-hour window to paddle because of the tides. You will be left walking across muddy soft clam flats if you are not mindful of the 10-12 foot tides," warns Nancy W. about Narrows Too Camping Resort.

    Off-season considerations: Many cabin facilities have limited services outside peak months. "We stayed in late May 2019 so maybe they were still working on cleaning up after the winter (wet spring)," explains Erik B. about Mt Desert Narrows Camping Resort.

    Tips for camping with families

    Cabin options for different family sizes: Family configurations determine ideal cabin choices. "The cabin contained a queen sized bed and a set of bunk beds. It also had a private bathroom with metered shower. 50 cents got you a hot, 7 minute shower, which was plenty of time!" reports a visitor at Hadley's Point Campground.
