Best Cabin Camping in Maine
Maine's cabin accommodations range from rustic one-room structures to fully furnished units with modern amenities. At Coos Canyon Campground and Cabins, visitors find electric hookups, running water, and basic furnishings, while sites like Schoodic Woods Campground provide cabin options within Acadia National Park. Cabin amenities typically include beds, electricity, and picnic tables, with some offering refrigerators, microwaves, and air conditioning. Most provide fire pits for outdoor cooking and evening gatherings. "We rented a one room cabin that was perfect for two who flew in without camping gear. Fridge, coffee pot, microwave and AC. One queen bed and a bunk bed made for comfortable sleeping and a fire pit was even included," noted one visitor at Martin Stream Campground.
Reservations are strongly recommended for cabin stays, particularly during the peak summer season from June through August. Many campgrounds like Bar Harbor/Oceanside KOA and Mt Desert Narrows Camping Resort operate seasonally, typically from May through October. Pet policies vary by location, with several campgrounds including Hadley's Point and Wolfe's Neck Oceanfront Campground welcoming dogs in designated cabins for an additional fee. According to a review, "The campground was very accommodated plus we had 2 service dogs that loved this place so much."
Most cabin rentals provide beds and basic furniture but require guests to bring their own linens, pillows, and towels. Kitchen facilities differ significantly between locations - some offer only outdoor cooking options while others provide indoor kitchenettes with basic appliances. On-site camp stores at locations like Sandy Pines Campground and Smuggler's Den Campground stock essential items, firewood, and some groceries. Campers staying at more remote cabins should arrive prepared with food and supplies, as nearby shopping options may be limited. Bathroom facilities range from shared bathhouses to private indoor bathrooms in premium cabin units.
