Best Cabin Camping near Otsego, MN

Cabin accommodations near Otsego provide heated indoor shelter with varying levels of amenities. Lake Maria State Park Campground offers camper cabins with electricity, heat, and bunk beds that sleep up to six people. Baker Park Reserve features cabins with picnic tables and fire rings for outdoor cooking. "The camper cabins had electricity and heat, no plumbing. Excellent fire ring for cooking," notes one visitor about similar facilities at Wild River State Park. Minneapolis Northwest KOA provides more developed cabin options with additional amenities like Wi-Fi access, while Bunker Hills Regional Park cabins offer a middle ground between rustic and modern accommodations.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Most park cabins require advance reservations, especially during summer months when availability becomes limited. According to a camper, "Plan ahead as these are hard to come by." Reservation windows typically open 120 days before arrival dates. Pet policies vary by location—Minneapolis Northwest KOA and Baker Park Reserve allow pets in designated cabins, while others may restrict animals or require additional fees. Winter cabin camping options exist at several locations, with Lake Maria State Park and Baker Park Reserve offering year-round access to heated structures.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Cooking facilities vary significantly between locations—some cabins prohibit indoor cooking entirely while others provide basic kitchen setups with refrigerators and microwaves. "No cooking is allowed inside the cabins, which can make things rough if the weather isn't cooperating," explains one reviewer about certain park cabins. Firewood is available for purchase at most locations, with prices ranging from $5.50 to $7 per bundle. Nearby convenience stores in Monticello, Maple Grove, and Medina offer additional supplies, though stocking up before arrival is recommended for more remote cabin locations.

    Whitetail Woods Camper Cabins

    Great camper cabins for spring and fall

    Each cabin has four sleeping spots: 2 bunk beds, and the 2 couches convert to beds. There's a heater inside, but no AC, which makes these the most suitable during the spring and fall.

    There is a fire ring outside of each cabin, along with a table. No cooking is allowed inside the cabins, which can make things rough if the weather isn't cooperating. 

    We enjoy hiking around the trails, but we primarily go to decompress, lounge around, and play games, read, etc. There's WiFi available, but depending on which cabin you reserve signal will be took weak for real usage. Same for mobile data -- don't plan on cell service here.

    The bathroom facilities are nice. Outside water is shut off during some parts of the year, so bring your own drinking water if you are camping close to/during winter.

    Cabins are accessible for those who need special assistance, which is nice. The only caveat is I don't recall there being an automatic door opener to the cabins.

    While the cabins are close together, noise is not a factor once you're inside. 

    It's difficult to get reservations, so I recommend trying to start booking 120 days in advance, which is the farthest out you can reserve. For example, as of this review (early June), all weekends are booked for all cabins.

    William O'Brien State Park Campground

    Camper Cabin

    We camped at William O’Brien State Park November 1-4, 2022. We were taking advantage of some unseasonably warm days, and we are so glad we did. This park is beautiful! The trails are well kept and cover woodlands, grasslands, and wetlands. There is a huge beaver lodge that can be seen from one of the trails, and we saw a smaller one from a different trail. We saw an abundance birds while we were there.

    We stayed in a camper cabin (‘Vasa’) and enjoyed it. The cabins are one room plus an enclosed porch. Furnishings are bunk beds and a table with benches. The cabin was heated and had electricity. You cannot cook indoors. There is a fire pit and picnic table outside. There are three cabins on a little cul de sac by the Savanna campground. There are two vault toilets near the cabins. The water source was off for the season, but water was available at the park office.

    Whitetail Woods Camper Cabins

    Great Cold Weather Option

    Super simple camping cabins. They each have 4 spots and have contactless entry as you get sent a code to use. There is no cooking inside the cabin so you have to use the fire ring outside. Shower facilities are really nice and match the cabins. Plan ahead as these are hard to come by.

    Ham Lake Resort

    Well Rounded RV Park and Campground

    My partner and I scheduled a 3 day / 2 night stay in a new Vintage Cruiser RV for $39.99, in exchange for attending a presentation on private membership.

    We checked in Wednesday evening, and the nicest staff I've ever met helped us acclimate to RV living. We are new to this game. They patiently described how to utilize the grey and black water tanks, as well as encouraged us to check-out the canoes, row boats, bikes, horseshoes, ladder golf and many other entertainment items - for FREE!

    The map provided was accurate which made locating the cruiser a breeze. There were further instructions inside as well. The RV was immaculate. Provided for our use were all linens (a public very clean bath and shower was just across the road), dish soap, dish towels, paper towels, flat wear, plates, bowls, mugs and pans.

    The campground has a couple of ponds, as well as access to Ham Lake where the watercraft is launched. There is a petting arena with goats, ponies, and a llama who gave my partner the stink eye, but fell in love with me rubbing the fence and giving me all googly eyes!

    The clubhouse sells bundled wood, ice, snacks, cold drinks, ice cream and provides 24-hour fresh coffee. There is also a small resupply area, and gift shop.

    There are pull-through sites, back ups, 50 and 30 amp hook ups, and tent sites, covered pavilions, picnic tables and fire pits.

    The campground itself seems remote, secluded and peaceful, however, you are conveniently located to two well-stocked convenience stores, as well as Wal-Mart about 15 minutes away. It's also only about 45 minutes from the Minnesota Twin Cities.

    One note: We visited in August and needed gallons of bug spray.

    We very much enjoyed our get away!

    Baker Campground - Baker Park Reserve

    Great First Time w/Travel Trailer

    Clean gravel sites with electric hook up surrounded by well maintained grass, picnic table, and fire pit. Central water spigot and dump station. Great signage throughout. Showers and restrooms available. A couple disc golf baskets, sand volleyball court and well maintained grass fields were available for play. Lake independence is a 5-10 minute walk along a newly paved trail. Lake offers two swimming beaches, a water equipment rental area, new restroom facilities, and a playground that was under construction at this time. Simple online reservation process at $26/night our one night total cost $36.03 all fees included. Morning of our reservation, camp staff called to communicate a change of site due to our reserved site having issues with its electrical. All amenities functioned appropriately. My wife, two young boys, and I had a great first time experience with our Bambi 19CB Airstream!

    Wild River State Park Campground

    Wild River State Park Camper Cabin

    The camper cabins at Wild River are located just above the St. Croix River. Our cabin seemed to be at a trailhead to the river, which we took advantage of. The camper cabins had electricity and heat, no plumbing. Excellent fire ring for cooking. The park itself has many trails.

    Wild River State Park Campground

    One of the better state park campgrounds we've stayed at

    We were at site 93. It's a large site with plenty of room for a huge tent or a few tents. It was very buggy so we got a screen tent. Nicely shaded site as well. Not far from the water station and pit toilet. For a bathroom with running water it's a long walk and there's not close parking either. The campground is a long drive into the park from the main entrance. 12x10 screen tent fit easily over the 8' picnic table.

    Afton State Park Campground

    Hiking and Yurting

    I have stayed multiple times in the hike in camp sites and also in the yurt! The hike in sites were beautiful with a view looking over the St. Croix River. It was a shaded site perfect for our hammocks, it was quiet and very secluded. The Yurt was very cool! Very comfortable beds and plenty of space for the 6 of us to stay and sleep. The fire pit and picnic table wasn't far from the yurt which made it nice to not have to walk too far since we camped in the winter. I highly suggest the expeeience of the yurt!
