Best Cabin Camping near Spruce Head, ME

Cabin accommodations near Spruce Head provide visitors with rustic to modern lodging options along Maine's scenic coastline. Megunticook by the Sea Campground and Lobster Buoy Campsites both offer cabin rentals with water and electric hookups. Most cabins include basic furnishings with picnic tables and fire rings outside for cooking and evening relaxation. Bathrooms with flush toilets and hot showers are available in central facilities rather than within individual cabins. "The bathrooms are clean and the cedar showers are awesome! We've been excited to come back here since we left," noted one repeat visitor about Megunticook's facilities.

Rustic cabins predominate in the region, with options ranging from basic structures to more comfortable accommodations with additional amenities. Long Cove Cottages provides electricity, running water, and pet-friendly policies for travelers with animals. Sennebec Lake Campground operates 120 sites including cabins from May through mid-October, while Shore Hills Campground remains open until mid-October. A camper wrote of Lobster Buoy Campsites: "Rustic but everything you need. Some campsites are right on the water and the kayaking from here is awesome."

Most cabins require guests to bring their own bedding, pillows, towels, and cooking supplies. Campground stores at Megunticook, Lobster Buoy, and other locations stock firewood, basic groceries, and camping essentials, though selection is limited. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between properties, with some offering only outdoor fire rings and others providing indoor cooking options. Visitors should check specific cabin amenities when booking as furnishing levels differ substantially between locations. During peak summer season, reservations are essential as most cabins book weeks or months in advance, particularly those with ocean views or waterfront locations.

    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.

    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!

    Tops’l Farm

    Wow...Awesome Experience

    This place is like the Ritz Carlton of campgrounds! The owners took a farm and converted into an upscale camping experience. They have thought of everything!

    You can choose to stay in a tent or a cabin. The tents are outfitted with two beds and a nice outdoor seating area. Candles and solar lights will keep it illuminated at night. They include special touches such as branded matches and a carafe full of water on the bedside table. Each site has its own firepit and porch.

    The common spaces are equally as luxurious. The bathhouse was just like a four-star hotel. They provide you with shampoo, conditioner and body wash. There is even a hair dryer! Bug spray and lotion are also available for your use.

    There is a common space that includes picnic tables and a large fire pit. The bathhouse building also has charging stations for each tent so you can stay plugged in during your stay!

    Only downfall…There are quite a few of mosquitos. Thankfully they provide various bug spray's that you can use!

    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

    Tops’l Farm

    High end glamping at its best

    Tops’l Farm offer the best of glamping.  Located in Waldoboro, they create a wonderfully balanced experience between the outdoors and glamp.  While their model continues to evolve, camping is not available on all days/weekends.  They create special weekend camping events and retreats.   We participated in a weekend camping event that included a farm to table meal on Saturday evening in their barn.  They had recommendations for places to visit during the rest of the weekend, which we did not do.  

    Their model is a stay that costs a price, plus a lot of a la carte “extras” that you can order.  We ordered Friday dinner and wine;  and breakfast for one morning.  Depending on the weekend, ‘extra’ offers could also include yoga, foraging, s’mores kits, etc.  

    Tops’l Farm has both cabins and glamping tents.  The bath house is very nice for a camp bath house, with soap and shampoo.    The cabins are full of creature comforts, including nice sheets and blankets, lanterns, and an overall beautifully appointed space that is still rustic.  Each cabin has a fire pit.  

    The farm dinners offer delicious food with ingredients from local farms.  The food is delicious, simple and very satisfying all at the same time.  The barn that they hold the dinners in is simple yet elegant.  There is a camp store where you can buy beer, wine, snacks and other basic items.  

    They truly curate a lovely glamping experience.  It isn’t cheap, but if you want a glamping weekend, it’s one of the best.

    Seawall Campground — Acadia National Park

    Lots of privacy, good clean site, no RV's!!!

    I'd say the campground was above average. They had nice clean bathroom facilities with running water, electricity, and a dish-wash station. The sites are all walk-to sites so you're not right on top of each other with a bunch of RV's and generators which was a huge plus in my book. Makes it feel more like camping.

    The sites themselves are spacious with a fire ring, and table. Plenty of privacy for a campground. Lots of trees for setting up hammocks and such. Good flat surfaces for sleeping. Bass Harbor Light House is very close, and the sea-wall is close enough to walk to for a very pretty sunrise! The main part of the park is about a 30-45 minute drive though.

    Acadia is definitely different. First time in a National Park I ended up going out to eat for most of my meals rather than cooking, but Beal's was amazing! The fresh lobster was cooked perfectly! Send someone to get drinks while you wait in line.

    There isn't a shower facility at this campground. The markings for the sites could have been better. The site I stayed at (D2) wasn't marked well from the parking and the only marking was about 15 ft back in the woods. Only was a minor issue because I arrived so late and it was pitch black.
