Best Cabin Camping near West Newfield, ME

Campgrounds surrounding West Newfield, Maine feature a variety of cabin rentals with different amenity levels. Pine Ridge Campground in nearby Acton offers furnished cabins with electricity and basic furnishings, while Danforth Bay Camping & RV Resort in Freedom, NH provides more upscale cabin accommodations with private bathrooms and kitchenettes. Spacious Skies Walnut Grove in Alfred features cabins equipped with beds, small refrigerators, and microwaves, making them suitable for families seeking more comfort than traditional tent camping. Most cabins include picnic tables and fire rings for outdoor cooking and gathering. As one visitor to Runaround Woods noted, "Super comfortable and cozy sleeping cabins in forest setting. Loved all the extras: wood-fire sauna, solar shower, cold plunge, picnic/eating space, outdoor seating spaces, games, fire pit, etc."

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Bear Brook State Park offers more primitive cabins situated on a remote lake, perfect for stargazing but requiring guests to bring all supplies as they lack electricity. According to a recent visitor, "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." In contrast, KOA locations like Chocorua KOA provide more amenities in their cabin rentals, including electricity and comfortable beds. Pet policies vary significantly between properties - Pawtuckaway State Park prohibits pets in their cabins, while many private campgrounds welcome them for an additional fee. Reservations are essential during summer months, particularly for waterfront cabins, which often book months in advance.

Most cabin rentals provide beds with mattresses but require guests to bring their own linens, pillows, and blankets. Kitchen facilities range from none in rustic cabins to basic setups with mini-refrigerators and microwaves in deluxe units. Visitors should pack cooking utensils, dishwashing supplies, and food storage containers. Campground stores at locations like Gunstock Campground and Westward Shores sell firewood, ice, and basic groceries, though selection is limited. For more extensive shopping, the towns of Sanford and Waterboro have supermarkets within a 20-minute drive of West Newfield. Cabin campers should also bring flashlights, lanterns, insect repellent, and appropriate seasonal clothing, as even electrified cabins may have minimal lighting and heating options.

    Freeport / Durham KOA

    Great spot, great hosts

    Kid and pet friendly. Lots of activities for kids including a flashlight candy hunt, water slide, and s’more roast. We’ve been coming back for years and the addition of a glamping tent, cabins, and domes have made it even nicer!

    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.

    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.

    Galehead Hut

    Mountain Luxury

    Expensive but incredible. Great food and cozy bunks. Bunks are in shared bunk rooms. Best to have a reservation, especially in July. Croo is wonderful. Overall great stay, huts make it easy to light the trip load. But no pets allowed in hut.

    Baker Rocks

    Great location and amazing facilities

    I tent camped here while doing some fishing in the area.

    Baker Rocks had a host of different camping options onsite including tent platforms, yurts, and cabins. I booked one of the tent platforms.

    The site had a large tent platform they could fit multiple tents, a brand new picnic table, a fire ring (with a free bundle of firewood), two chairs by the fire ring, and even a few strings of solar lights around the camp area.

    The tent sites are within the wooded area around the property and felt very secluded. There was a bit of road noise overnight.

    The facilities here were great. There is a full bathhouse with individual rooms for showers and sink/toilets, with running water.

    Around the campground there was a little beach along the Baker river. I only caught a few minnows when fishing but that may have been more to do with the angler. Along another bend of the river were two chairs for taking in the scenery.

    Check-in was super easy with the camp hosts who were very flexible with timing and wanted to make sure I had a great stay. The property and individual sites are deliberately designed with guests in mind.

    I would definitely stay here again if I’m in the area and might try some of the glamping options as well.

    Runaround Woods

    Cool spot with super comfy cabins

    Super comfortable and cozy sleeping cabins in forest setting. Loved all the extras: wood-fire sauna, solar shower, cold plunge, picnic/eating space, outdoor seating spaces, games, fire pit, etc. We played the woodland disc golf course multiple times! Great way to experience the forest and end the day in cozy bed!! Ryan is an amazing host.

    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


Guide to West Newfield

Cabin camping near West Newfield, Maine provides access to the sandy soil terrain of York County where elevation varies between 400-700 feet above sea level. The region experiences four distinct seasons with summer temperatures averaging 70-85°F during peak cabin rental months. Most rental cabins in this area are positioned within pine forests with limited cell service but good road access via Routes 11 and 110.

What to do

Beach access at multiple lakes: Chocorua KOA offers a small beach area with multiple boating options. According to Jake C., "Its rare to find a campground with so many spacious wooded sites overlooking the water. They seem to always have events & family friendly activities to keep kids entertained. I always appreceiate the onsite kayak rentals for exploring the river that runs along the campground."

Swimming options beyond the lake: Gunstock Campground provides a pool for guests who prefer chlorinated swimming over lake waters. The campground maintains multiple recreational facilities as noted by Sara D.: "Pool and playground available, camp store, bike & Segway trails, quick access to some of NH's most beautiful mountains."

River tubing adventures: When water levels permit, several campgrounds offer river tubing. At Whits End Campground, Susan L. reports, "River is great, even when low you can still tube it!! They have everything you need at the store, great heated pool."

What campers like

Private waterfront sites: Many campers appreciate lakefront cabin options with dedicated water access. At Danforth Bay Camping & RV Resort, Michael M. noted, "Really liked this campground, large sites with full hookups. Beach and boat ramp with some cabins on the water."

Proximity to outdoor activities: Located near Mount Chocorua, cabin rentals provide access to regional attractions. Heather M. from Whits End Campground shares, "Beautiful area by Mount Chacora as well as wooded sites. You can tube down the river, it's peaceful and clean with great views and location is great ❤️ We even went horse back riding as it's close to castle in the clouds."

Clean facilities: Bunganut Lake Camping Area maintains well-kept amenities. Laura K. reported, "Small and quaint. This was such an adorable perfect campsite. The store has anything you may have forgotten for fair prices."

What you should know

Seasonal availability impacts booking: Most cabin rentals operate from May through mid-October with limited shoulder season availability. At Spacious Skies Walnut Grove, El Jefe B. observed, "Mostly seasonal campers, but they were only about 20% occupied mid week."

Security policies vary significantly: Each campground enforces different quiet hours and security protocols. One visitor to Danforth Bay noted, "The campground has a rule that fires have to be out at 11:30. The security people have been extremely aggressive to us."

Pet documentation requirements: Many campgrounds allow pets in cabins but require verification of vaccinations. Katelyn D. from Danforth Bay advises, "Strict with dog paperwork as well so be prepared."

Tips for camping with families

Activity schedules vary by day: Weekend programming typically offers more structured activities than weekdays. At Acres Of Wildlife Family Campground, Sarah L. shares, "Amazing family activities to keep kids occupied, great sites, clean bathrooms (free showers), and a good restaurant if you don't want to cook."

Multiple playground options: Families appreciate different play areas for various age groups. Laura K. at Bunganut Lake mentions, "Small rec ball with games and movie nights was all the kids needed! Plus a playground/basketball court that has something for all ages."

Waterfront safety considerations: Beach areas have different supervision levels and water depths. Darci F. from Acres of Wildlife states, "This camp ground is FULL of fun for kids. There is activities and 2/3 playgrounds."

Tips from RVers

Site leveling challenges: RVers report varying degrees of site levelness requiring additional equipment. Michael K. from Chocorua KOA advises, "The only level part of the site is away from the deck and water. My wife wanted to get the camper up close to the deck so our area under the awning was close to that, which meant I had a lot more leveling to do."

Hookup placement varies: Water and electrical connections may be positioned inconveniently. One camper at Acres Of Wildlife notes, "Be sure to bring extensions for electrical and sewer as a lot of sites are set up with difficult connection spots."

Campground layouts affect privacy: RV sites have different spacing and privacy levels throughout each property. Charlie & Danielle B. observed at Beaver Hollow, "Sites are not very large. We were fortunate to have a somewhat decent sized site but the site behind us was so small that their picnic table was practically touching our water and electric hook up area."
