Best Cabin Camping near Stratton, ME

Cabin rentals near Stratton provide rustic lodging options with varying amenities and locations. Mountain View Motel & Campground offers cabins just 6 miles from Sugarloaf with easy access to the Appalachian Trail. Maine Huts & Trails features a network of backcountry cabins connected by hiking paths, providing a more remote experience. Most cabins include basic amenities such as beds, electricity, and heating options. Deer Farm Camps & Campground offers cabins with water and electric hookups, though currently temporarily closed. "The cabins have a great place to go four wheeling, a place to enjoy the lake and all the fun activities that go along with it, as well as bathroom facilities for showering," noted one visitor.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are available depending on location preferences. Flagstaff Hut provides backcountry cabin accommodations with shared bunkhouses that sleep up to eight people, communal dining areas, and modern composting toilets. Most cabins are pet-friendly, though Maine Huts & Trails does not allow pets at their locations. Reservations are essential, particularly during summer months from May through October when most facilities operate at capacity. Some properties like Coos Canyon Campground and Happy Horseshoe Campground maintain cabins with electricity, running water, and picnic tables outside each unit. According to one camper, "We discovered it while on a motorcycle trip 2 years ago. It was a great find."

Most furnished cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary widely—some cabins offer full kitchens while others provide only basic cooking areas or outdoor fire pits with grills. When staying at Maine Huts & Trails locations, meals are typically included with lodging when the facilities are fully staffed. General stores like Berry's in West Forks stock essential supplies for cabin guests. Several locations offer firewood for purchase on-site. Webb's Campground and Coos Canyon both offer cabin options with access to rivers and outdoor recreation opportunities, making them popular bases for activities like ATV riding, fishing, and gold panning in the Swift River.

    Base Camp — Umbagog Lake State Park

    Gorgeous sunsets!

    General: 27 sites with electricity and water, two cabins, 33 remote campsites, and four remote cabins in isolated locations around Umbagog Lake accessible only by boat. 

    Site Quality: Some sites have a lake view while some are tucked in among the trees. Site 1A was the fourth up from the lakeshore but still gave us a decent view of the lake. A fire ring and picnic table were at the site. My one complaint is that the electric hookup was so far from where we had to park that we were unable to access it without a very long extension cord (which we did not have). Fortunately, we did not need electricity.

    Bathhouse: Quite possibly the most immaculate campground bathroom I’ve ever encountered! They are cleaned at 8 am but when we arrived at 6:30 pm, they were still very clean. Soap and paper towels are appreciated. There was also a vault toilet closer to the wooded sites, although it would not be an unreasonable walk to the main bathhouse. 

    Activities/Amenities: Boat launch and slips, fishing, and swimming. Canoe and kayak rentals are available. The building that has restrooms, laundry, and showers also has a large deck with chairs so you can enjoy the view. The sunsets can be spectacular! There is a small store at the office. 

    Although just an overnight stay for us, it was very enjoyable. We conversed with a ranger in the morning, and he told us that even when the campground was full (in the summer months), it is a very quiet campground.

    Webb's Campground

    Small waterfront campground

    The majority of campsites are right on the Dead River in a beautiful region in Maine called The Forks. This area is an outdoor paradise with tons of things to do kayaking, white water rafting, hunting, fishing, hiking, and nature viewing. Riverdrivers has a myriad of overnight accommodations including primitive tenting, RV with electric and water (some just 20A and water and the others 20A/30A and water), cabins with electricity and screened in porch, motel rooms, and a rental home open year-round that sleeps 14. 

    There is a dump station onsite for RVs. There are picnic tables and fire pits at the camping sites and cabins. Wood is available for purchase at the good price of$10 for a wheelbarrow load. Sites are mostly grass and the road is smooth gravel devoid of any potholes. There are some trees for shade but not many and there is not much privacy between campsites. Obviously, the best sites are right on the water but the majority of those are without hookups. Check out their Facebook page because they offer camping discounts in the past if you mention the add. There are restrooms and showers with 14-hour access and a few port-a-potties scattered about. There is also a dishwashing station. Bathroom facilities were very clean as was the dishwashing station. Horseshoe pits are present but that is pretty much it for amenities, other than the great water view. No online reservation you must call or email them. 

    The biggest complaint is the loud road noise from big logging trucks. The campground is located directly off Route 201 in West Forks which makes for easy access into the park (but you get the road noise). Across the street is Berry’s General Store with just about everything you need and is a fun old store to roam around. Just up the road is Hawks Nest Lodge which has a great restaurant with full bar. Their outside seating is great for soaking up the sun and watching the rafters on the river. Head over to Moxie Falls for a short hike into one of Maine’s famous falls.

    Buck Rub's Hidden Acres Campground

    Nice-sized wooded sites, plenty to do in the area

    Pittsburg, NH is an area popular with those who enjoy riding ATVs, hunting, fishing, and boating and Buck Rub's Hidden Acres Campground is a nice good place to make your base with easy access to trails and lakes. 

    I had no problem making reservations online; all sites have water and electric and you can select a wooded or open site. If proximity to the ATV trail is important to you, you may select a site accordingly. Sites were large and most quite level. There are some seasonal campers. The bathroom is rustic, but functional with warm showers. The sites have picnic tables and fire rings.

    Check-in was at the main lodging office (they have cabins/lode rooms available as well) across the street. 

    If you don't want to cook for yourself, the Buck Rub Pub provides a good menu selection; it's popular and you may need to wait, esp. on a weekend evening. For a quick breakfast or lunch at a fair price, the Happy Corner Cafe will meet your needs. For dessert, check out Moose Alley Cones. And look out for moose and other wildlife, esp. if driving at dusk, dawn, or night!

    Rudys Cabins and Campground

    Great stop along a Cohos Trail thru-hike

    Rudy's looked mostly to be an RV park, so my stop was maybe not the usual for this campground. I stopped for one night while I was thru-hiking the Cohos Trail in New Hampshire and had a great experience. There seemed to be much more space at this campground for RV and van travelers, though I didn't check out that part of the facility

    I booked a tent site beforehand and on arrival had the choice of right next to Clarksville Pond or another area that I didn't check out since pondside sounded amazing, so my review is specific to the tenting experience.

    I stopped by Rudy's before my hike, and they held onto a food drop for me (in a sealed big plastic container) for free, and held onto some extra gear for me so that I didn't need to carry it 

    There are maybe ~3-4 tent sites right along the edge of the pond, in front of a few permanent cabins. They are basic tent sites right on the grass, with a fire ring and a picnic bench. The sites were flat and the views were amazing along the pond. 

    I was able to get in a morning fly fishing session 5 feet from my tent! The wind was a bit high so no luck for me, but I saw the fish jumping when I stopped by after my hike to pick up some gear I left. Kathleen, the owner of the property, offered a free fly fishing lesson during my stay, but I had to decline to keep up the pace of my hike.

    There was also access to the bathhouse with free heated showers, full bathrooms, and coin-op laundry. This was a great free amenity after 7 days on my hike for a necessary refresh.

    The owner and other residents of the campground were super friendly. This was a great stop along my hike to refresh and connect with a few folks along the way.

    Honey Run Campground and Beach

    Family oriented!

    Perfect stay if you have kiddos and dogs! There’s a playground, arcade, and beach. They offer kayak and canoe rentals. We grabbed a tent site for 3 days and it had water and electric! You get a picnic table and fire ring

    Mountain View Cabins & Cmpgrnd

    Hillside campground above the lakes

    This is a family run campground located on a hillside between Lake Francis and First Connecticut Lake in Pittsburg, NH. The area is a favorite for those who enjoy boating or riding ATV/snowmobiles (depending on the season), hunting, and wildlife watching (it's called Moose Alley for a reason). 

    There's a public boat launch at Lake Francis and easy access to ATV trails.

    Sites may be in a field, partially wooded, or wooded. While there are a number of seasonal sites, there are also many short-term sites available. I was on site 39, in a wooded area best suited for tents and small campers. On the campground map it looks like it's a loop, but they've put a barrier up between two sites, so there's no driving around. There'd been significant rain before/during my stay and the road to my site was quite muddy, but the site itself was dry. Sites 40-42 are parallel to the road, but site 39 was off the end and I was able to back in with my trailer. About half the sites on the 'loop' were occupied and it was quiet and somewhat removed from most of the sites.

    The bathroom was clean with large, private rooms providing shower/toilet/sink, a nice bonus during the pandemic. Laundry is also available, a definite win if you're muddy after a day of riding.

    I had to call to make reservations; the reservation link on the website is only for the cabin rentals. No one was in the office when I arrived, but there were directions to my site in the office.

    If you don't want to cook, the Buck Rub Pub a few miles down the road provides good pub food; it's popular and there can be a wait. For a filling and satisfying breakfast, The Happy Corner Cafe across the street will meet your needs at a reasonable price with good service. For dessert or a treat after a day on the lake or trail, stop by Moose Alley Cones. A drive after dusk or at dawn may reward you with a moose along the roadside.

    i had OK cell phone coverage.

    The Birches Resort

    Great Camping Spot Near Historic Lodge

     There are a few times in your travels when you find someplace you never want to leave. It’s the kind of place where you pull in and it just feels right and we found ourselves at the registration desk extending your stay…and again…and again. The Birches Resort and Campground in Rockwood, Maine was that slice of paradise we absolutely loved. 

    The Birches is perched on Moosehead Lake about 30 minutes north of Greenville which is a pretty small town (we’re talking population 1,600) with a few restaurants, a fly fishing shop, a great grocery/outdoor/camping/clothing store and a scattering of interesting attractions like an old passenger ship offering lake excursions. There is a ferry over to Mt. Kineo which has spectacular hiking and definitely worth spending an afternoon. There is great fishing in the area in numerous rivers and lakes. 

    The Birches has a magnificent historic lodge dating back to the 1930’s that is warm and comforting and smells of wood burning fires, fresh coffee, and salty bacon. There are only a handful of campsites (for RV’s and tents) and a bunch of cabins all with great views. Don’t be expecting to have all your creature comforts of television, wifi, and phone service because they are nonexistent or sketchy at your site. However, the lodge provides all those services where you can enjoy them by the fire or at the bar. There is also a full-service restaurant serving three meals a day with delicious comfort food like Thanksgiving turkey dinner, slow roasted prime rib, and French onion soup. RV sites can be a little tight for larger RVs but we were able to manage. The best campsite (#5) backs up to the lake so your patio and fire pit are right there on the water and provide spectacular sunrises. Our site was 30-amp which was fine for us as we were there in October and didn’t need air conditioning. Since no one else was coming into the site next to us, we were allowed to pull in such that we took up two spots and overlooked the marina. There was water but no sewer however the dump station was easy to access and never very busy since the campground is so small. The tent sites are located farther away from the lodge and facilities but are spacious and private with great water views. The sites are surrounded by trees so you get some shade if you want or can be in the open sunny areas. Each tent site has its own garbage can so you don’t have to trek over to the dumpster. There are also picnic tables, rock-lined fire rings, low electric hook-up, and a water spigot. The restroom/showers were older but clean and we did not mind showering there which meant we didn’t have to pack up the RV and dump our tanks during our stay. They do have a hot tub for those who like to soak in steaming water. 

    We absolutely loved our stay at the Birches. Having the lodge for warm fires, cold beer, and hot meals was a definite plus. There are so many outdoor activities between hiking, fishing, paddling, and just enjoying the natural beauty. There are boat rentals and seaplane flights you can book for sightseeing and a launch for boats/paddle craft. We will definitely be back.

    Spacious Skies Balsam Woods

    Quiet, Spacious, Lots of Amenities

    While we don’t usually stay in private campgrounds due to their high cost, the price was reasonable for the quality of this campground and amenities provided. We were in need of a shower and a place for the night and this campground was perfectly situated off the highway to Greenville. 

    Most of the sites are designed for larger RVs with full hook-ups, but they have just a handful of simple tent/small camper sites without services, which is exactly what we needed.   Just a picnic table and fire ring and some privacy and we were happy campers.

    The shower house was newly remodeled and very clean, as was the laundry facility with dishwashing/utility sink. The campground has access to over 1000 miles of trails, which are designed for ATV’s. They even have an ATV washing station. While it was not open in late September, the campground offers a nice pool, game room for the kids of all ages, a small camp store, and even has a snack bar and ice cream counter.  And, if you are seeking some amazing hiking, it's relatively close to Borestone Mountain and sections of the Appalachian Trail.

    The young husband and wife team who own/run the place are very sweet folks who seem to really pay attention to the needs of their customers.  For instance, they recently spent a good deal of money on high speed wifi because that is what their customers said they wanted.  We didn't need it, so can't comment on its quality, but it's there if you do.


Guide to Stratton

Cabin accommodations near Stratton, Maine include options at 1,800 feet elevation in the Carrabassett Valley region, where seasonal temperature swings range from below freezing in winter to 70-80°F in summer months. The area sits within Maine's western mountains, featuring woodland terrain and proximity to numerous water features including lakes, rivers, and streams. Several campgrounds maintain cabin rentals with varying levels of amenities throughout the May-October peak season.

What to do

ATV trail riding: Coos Canyon Campground and Cabins offers cabin accommodations with direct access to regional trail systems. "Great place to stay with ATV trails access right from your campsite. With the river right close by you can pan for gold," notes Andrew G. The trails connect to broader networks throughout the region.

Gold panning: The Swift River provides natural gold panning opportunities for cabin guests. "Rent a pan or sluice from the coos canyon rock and gem shop a 3 min walk from the office and pan for gold in the river right from the campground!" explains david B. Beginners can often find small flakes with basic equipment.

Backcountry exploration: Flagstaff Hut provides cabin-style accommodations along trail networks. A visitor reports, "Although they are called huts, I would call them lodges. There is a large main area with showers, compostable toilets, a kitchen, and shared dining and living room space." Hiking paths connect to multiple destinations.

Paddling and fishing: Several cabin properties maintain water access for small watercraft. "Ellis pond and Webb lake were close and great to take to canoe out. Worth the trip up to rangeley roughly 40 miles from the camp," shares Matthew H. Fishing licenses are required and available at local stores.

What campers like

Cabin affordability: Deer Farm Camps & Campground offers economical cabin options. "Each wooded site is relatively level and offers water and electric hookups, all for a price on par with state parks without utilities (even after tax is added to fees, you're still under $25/night). Bring cash or a check because they don't accept credit cards," advises Jean C.

Nature immersion: Cabin locations provide wildlife viewing opportunities in natural settings. "We were able to see moose regularly during evening hours just a few miles from camp. When leaving camp make a left, drive aprox 15 mins and you are sure to see them," reports Adam &. from Happy Horseshoe Campground.

Outdoor meal preparation: Cabins typically include cooking options. "Grilles to cook on and a fire pit at every site," explains Dotty L. Many properties sell firewood on-site for convenience, eliminating the need to transport wood from outside sources.

Disconnecting opportunity: Several cabin properties have limited connectivity. "There is not much wifi or cell phone reception in the huts, and they like it that way. Take a break from the reality of the modern world," suggests Tony F. Cabin guests often report this disconnection as a benefit rather than drawback.

What you should know

Seasonal operations: Most cabin rental facilities operate from May through October. "This small, family run campground is a nice spot to get off the grid and explore western Maine," notes Jean C., adding "It is a 4-hour drive from Boston, so it's not a quick getaway from there."

Pet restrictions vary: Happy Horseshoe Campground and most cabin facilities welcome pets, but specific properties have limitations. "My husband, daughter, myself and our labradoodle truly had a remarkable time during our two and half month stay from July til the end of September," reports one visitor.

Primitive to modern spectrum: Cabin amenities range widely between properties. "No electrical outlets or cell service, so you are off the grid," explains one camper about more rustic options. Others offer fully equipped kitchens and modern bathrooms.

Road noise considerations: Location affects noise levels at cabin sites. "The biggest complaint is the loud road noise from big logging trucks. The campground is located directly off Route 201 in West Forks which makes for easy access into the park (but you get the road noise)," reports Nancy W. about Webb's Campground.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Mountain View Motel & Campground provides family-friendly facilities. "On the grounds of a roadside motel just 6 miles from Sugarloaf and east access to the AT, this newly added 13+ campsites are easy in and out, well appointed and have wonderful facilities," notes Rhonda D.

Entertainment options: Some properties schedule regular activities for guests. "Game room, pool, you can walk a holiday if you would like. Great entertainment on the weekends. Clean bathrooms and up to date. Friendly campers. Baked bean suppers sold on Saturday night," shares Tammy H.

Kid-friendly water features: Properties with shallow water access work well for families with young children. "Grassy site surrounded by trees and brush, so pretty private. It was not on the lake, there are about 7 RV sites right on the lake with full hookups which are great but they do not have the privacy," explains one camper describing site options at Umbagog Lake State Park.

Cabin spacing: Research site layouts when booking for families. "We had site 7 (the numbering system here makes no sense) and moved to site 48 after a couple of days. I had space for my teardrop trailer, but site 48 was much smaller," notes Jean C. about navigating site options.

Tips from RVers

Hookup variability: Base Camp — Umbagog Lake State Park offers diverse site options. "You can choose something more open and grassy or a wooded site. There's a swimming area and boat rentals. The office has limited hours. If you arrive after 5 or 6 (depending on the day/month), you'll need to check in in the morning," advises Jean C.

Cabin alternative considerations: Cabins provide alternatives when RV camping isn't viable. "We have stayed here twice. The first time we rented a cabin. The second time we stayed in our RV," explains one camper, showing how cabins offer flexibility when vehicle options change.

Amenity differences: RVers note the variation in amenities between properties. "Bathrooms are clean and bright, offering hot showers ($) and laundry," reports one camper. Others mention "hot showers are free. I was there late in the season, so the campground wasn't full. It was quiet."

Site positioning: RV and cabin placement affects experience quality. "We had our 25' converted shuttle bus. We stayed in site 32 (no hookups). It was a grassy site surrounded by trees and brush, so pretty private. It was not on the lake, there are about 7 RV sites right on the lake with full hookups which are great but they do not have the privacy," explains Jim O.
