Most cabin sites include picnic tables and fire rings for outdoor dining and evening relaxation. A recent visitor noted that "sites are very clean, good space, well laid out and pretty level" at cabins within the area. Several locations offer full bathroom facilities with showers, while others provide only basic toilets, requiring guests to use communal facilities.

The Micro A-Frame Cabin provides a unique, intimate setting for those seeking a minimalist experience, while campgrounds like Parks Pond and Pleasant Hill offer more conventional cabin accommodations. Most locations accept pets in cabin rentals, though specific restrictions may apply. Seasonal availability varies significantly, with many campgrounds operating from May through mid-October. As one camper described their experience at a local cabin, "This little slice of peace was well worth the drive!

Most cabins require visitors to bring their own linens, pillows, and bedding. Kitchen facilities vary considerably between locations—some provide basic cooking equipment while others offer only outdoor fire rings for meal preparation. The Hawnets Nest and Great Pond Outdoor Recreation Area maintain quiet, rustic cabin environments with limited amenities but peaceful settings. On-site camp stores at locations like Pushaw Lake Campground and Parks Pond Campground stock basic provisions, firewood, and forgotten essentials. Advance reservations are strongly recommended for all cabin accommodations, particularly during summer months and fall foliage season when demand peaks.

    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!

    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!

    Spacious Skies Balsam Woods

    Fun for all ages

    This gampground has the access to snowmobile trail in the winter as well as the ATV trails. It has it's own parking lot for your atvs. Their is a inground outdoor heated pool, a great big playground, basketball court, volleyball net, arcade, ice cream, outdoor projector for Saturday night movie. As well as grass and rock lots for camping. Their is seasonal sites for both renting and campers. This is dog friendly and has doggie stations spread throughout the campground for all their bathroom breaks. Has a great bath house, coin operated laundry room, and a great little walking trail. Phone service, cable TV, and wifi are provided. Recently added for the 2018 season where three to four brand new log cabins built to add to the previous ones already their. Their is a boat launch a mile or less down the road. And the campground over all is a great place for both old and young to enjoy. I highly recommend this place. Although becoming a new seasonal is hard and you are put on a waiting list. The campground offers so many fun activities that are well worth the time their. Their is also a wagon ride offered on the weekend throughout the day.

    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 Stillwater

Cabin camping near Stillwater, Maine features sites situated within the Penobscot River watershed, with elevations ranging from 100-350 feet above sea level. Most cabin rentals are accessible from May through October, with peak foliage typically occurring in early October. The region experiences summer temperatures averaging 75-80°F during daytime hours, with nighttime temperatures dropping to 50-55°F even during summer months.

What to do

Kayaking on nearby ponds: Great Pond Outdoor Recreation Area offers cabin renters direct access to water activities. "It is very quiet and there is 0 cell service! Perfect place with lots to do at the campground! Great location to just disconnect from the rest of the world," reports one visitor who recommends avoiding black fly season for maximum enjoyment.

Fishing opportunities: Cold River Campground provides access to multiple fishing spots with both pond and river options. The campground's layout supports easy access to fishing areas, though wifi can be inconsistent if you need to stay connected.

Local wildlife viewing: The cabins at Pumpkin Patch RV Resort offer opportunities to observe local wildlife. "There are nice little walking trails and a small fenced in dog park where dogs can play," notes a recent visitor, highlighting the resort's quiet setting that attracts various bird species and small mammals.

What campers like

Privacy levels: The Micro A-Frame Cabin offers exceptional seclusion. As one solo female traveler noted, "I'm pretty proud of this A-frame! As a single female - it is QUITE amazing to be able to calm this little piece of peace a joke away from home!"

Clean facilities: Parks Pond Campground maintains exceptionally clean bathrooms. A camper observed, "Restrooms were clean. I witnessed staff checking on them several times." Another mentioned that "the all around environment was very welcoming," indicating consistent maintenance throughout the property.

Quiet atmosphere: Many cabin renters prioritize peaceful settings. One visitor to Great Pond Outdoor Recreation Area stated, "Guests are very kind, quiet and respectful of others and of the campground. Everything was clean and in working order." This sentiment is echoed across multiple cabin locations in the Stillwater region.

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Summer weekends at cabin sites fill quickly, often 2-3 months in advance. Winter cabin availability is extremely limited, with only The Hawnets Nest and Great Pond Outdoor Recreation Area offering year-round options.

Accessibility considerations: Most cabins require several steps to enter. Bangor Holden KOA offers accessible cabin options with "full hookup (sewer, water, 50 AMP)" and "lots of amenities," though a visitor noted the "gravel site" and "not much shade" as potential drawbacks.

Wi-Fi and cell service: Connection quality varies significantly by location. At Pushaw Lake Campground, a visitor noted the limitations: "It had a nice porch to sit on for the morning sun but unfortunately, that looked the opposite way from the lake toward the dense central campground." Many cabins have weak or no cell signal.

Temperature fluctuations: Cabin interiors can experience significant temperature variations. Even in summer, overnight temperatures can drop to 45-50°F, requiring extra blankets. Most cabins lack insulation for temperature regulation.

Tips for camping with families

Activity planning: Parks Pond Campground provides family-friendly amenities that kids enjoy. A visitor shared, "They have two wading areas, playground, sand box, laundry and arcade as well as a general store for extras you may have forgotten."

Safety considerations: Cabin locations near water require vigilant supervision of children. Fire safety is particularly important as one camper at Parks Pond noted, "I caught fire to said borrowed camper and everyone was so helpful and the fire department was quick to respond even knowing the fire was put out."

Kid-friendly cabin options: Look for cabins with bunk bed configurations. Holden KOA organizes numerous family activities as one visitor described: "We did the pancake breakfast for donation, crafts, and wagon ride during the day as well as enjoyed the well kept pool. The kids loved the playground and the ice cream window."

Tips from RVers

Site selection: When booking cabin accommodations as an alternative to RV sites, consider location carefully. At Bar Harbor Oceanside KOA, a visitor advised, "My challenge with the KOA is the sites were so close together and it was very crowded. Everyone was really packed in, with no buffer between sites."

Parking logistics: Many cabin sites have limited parking space for additional vehicles. One camper noted, "Someone was parked in the spot and had to move so I could back in," highlighting the importance of confirming parking arrangements when booking cabin accommodations.

Supply planning: Most cabin rentals require bringing your own bedding, pillows, cooking equipment, and food supplies. The distance to nearest grocery stores varies widely, from 5 minutes at Pumpkin Patch RV Resort to 30+ minutes from more remote cabin locations.
