Best Cabin Camping near Alexandria, NH

Several campgrounds within 30 minutes of Alexandria, New Hampshire provide furnished cabin rentals with varying amenities and comfort levels. Meredith Woods Four Season Camping offers cabins with electricity, picnic tables, and fire rings, while Clearwater Campground features cabins that accommodate families with basic furnishings. Pawtuckaway State Park provides five cabins that "each sleeps six people, has electricity, and includes a fire ring and picnic table," according to one visitor. Bear Brook State Park offers more rustic options with cabins situated on a remote lake, though these lack electricity and require guests to bring all personal supplies. Most cabins include outdoor fire pits for cooking, and some feature small refrigerators or microwaves depending on the property.

Rustic and deluxe cabin options vary significantly in their amenities and seasonal availability. Pet policies differ between locations, with Chocorua KOA being particularly pet-friendly, offering "a fun dog park, a special swimming pond just for dogs and doggie day care." Many campgrounds operate from May through mid-October, though a few remain open year-round. Reservations are essential during summer months, especially for waterfront cabins or holiday weekends. Spacious Skies Seven Maples provides cabins with kitchenettes and private bathrooms, as one camper noted: "We stayed in the cabin with a kitchenette and bathroom. The shower worked well and it was nice not to have to walk to the restrooms." KOA cabin camping locations typically offer more amenities and structured activities for families.

Most basic cabins require guests to bring their own bedding, pillows, towels, and cooking equipment. While deluxe cabins may include beds with mattresses, visitors typically need to supply their own linens. Kitchen facilities range from simple fire pits with grates to cabins with small refrigerators, microwaves, and basic cookware. On-site camp stores at larger facilities like Meredith Woods and Davidsons Countryside Campground sell firewood, ice, and basic provisions. For more extensive grocery needs, the towns of Bristol and Meredith offer supermarkets and convenience stores within a 15-20 minute drive from most cabin locations. Campers staying in more remote forest cabins should arrive prepared with all necessary supplies, as Bear Brook State Park cabins have "no electricity, so no lights" and require guests to "bring all your own stuff."

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Quechee-Pine Valley KOA

    Typical KOA

    This KOA is what you expect from a KOA– lots of amenities, sites of all sizes and levels of cost, tons of activities, and in a vacation destination area. We spent five nights at the campground and found lots to do in the area and that we had an enjoyable and pleasant stay. 

    The park is a large park that is terraced since it is in a pretty hilly area. There is the range of sites from pull-thrus, pull-ins and back-in sites and can accommodate RVs of any size. Some sites are full hookup while others are not and that is reflected in the cost. We paid $57/nigh for our full hookup site which is pretty costly especially since we did not use any of the amenities. Most sites are gravel with gravel patios but there are deluxe sites with paved patios, patio furniture, umbrella, and gas bbq grill. There are also camping cabins, some of which have kitchenettes and bathrooms that sleep six people. 

    Our site, was located in the back of the park in a quieter section because it was away from most of the activities and park entrance. The site was a pull-in which was kind of nice because the view out of our front windshield was of a wooded area. Our fire pit was in the front of our site so there was a nice amount of privacy when we sat outside by a campfire and didn’t feel like we were on the side of the road. Despite the hilliness of the park and all the trees, we did not have any trouble navigating our 45’ RV to our site. The trees at our site would prevent satellite television reception but our site had cable and we got about 20 or so channels. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Like many KOAs there are tons of amenities and things for kids to do – swimming pool, fishing ponds, bike rental, scheduled activities, propane sales, camp store, fire wood delivery, and more. There is a fenced dog park which was a fairly good size and our lab was happy to chase a ball. 

    As a whole, the park was very clean and manicured. No trash laying around and the gravel roads were free of potholes. The campground is located near the Queechee Gorge, covered bridges, hiking trails (including sections of the Appalachian Trail), good dining, maple syrup/cheese farm, the Marsh Billings- Rockefeller National Historic Park.

    Ammonoosuc Campground

    Year-round camping convenient to Franconia and Crawford Notches

    This is one of the rare New Hampshire campgrounds that is open year round. For years I drove by this campground deterred by the run-down, deserted red building next door that is NOT associated with the campground. On a last-minute whim I called and snagged one of the final two sites for the holiday weekend, spending 3 nights here. I wanted to be someplace where I could track the baseball playoffs, so finding a place with wifi (fair, better closer to the bath house) and 2-3 bar 3G/4G Verizon access was a plus. This campground has a large number of seasonal sites, but also has sites available for the occasional camper, with discounts available if you stay for a week.

    Sites are wooded, generally moderately sized, though the seasonal sites are much larger. Tent sites do not have hook-ups, but they have small shelters that provide additional protection fro the weather. Some of the tent sites are sloped. They also tend to be long and narrow, opening up to a wider area with the picnic table, fire pit and tent pad. Tent sites in the K row are near the road, so although you don't get much campground noise, you do hear road traffic.

    The bathhouse is clean, well-lit, and heated (a treat on those cold autumn mornings). There's also a laundry room with 4 washers and dryers if you need to clean up or dry out after a rough day on the trails. Sites are close to each other. They've separated sites with fence panels in some places to provide some privacy. There's an inground pool, a large playground, and a horsehoe pit.

    Activities in the area include very convenient access to hiking trails ranging from family friendly Surgarloafs to classic 4000-footers along Franconia Ridge, and peaks along the northern ridge of the Pemi Wilderness (Garfield, Galehead, Twins), trails to Mt Washington and the Presidentials, as well as numerous peaks and waterfalls in the Crawford Notch area. Cog railway is just a few miles down the road if you want to catch an early ride. Trails for ATVs and snowmobiles are also nearby.

    Bear Brook State Park Campground

    Convenient and fun

    The park was easy to get to, only about half an hour from Manchester. It has kayak rentals and a very well stocked camp store, that was close to the camp sites. Our campsite was only about a hundred feet away from the camp store but still felt private.

    Our campsite also had a fire pit and a picnic table which were great.

    The size of the sites varies quite a bit though as well as their isolation, some were out in the open.

    For cell service: ATT seems to have pretty decent coverage but not Verizon.

    Bear Brook State Park Campground

    Bearbrook Pros and Cons

    Con: Signage is awful! Hard to find park, office and cabins! Once there, Looong drive to both campground and Cabins.

    Pro: 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. Our cabin had a steep path. Others did not.

    Lonesome Lake Hut

    Family friendly destination and great base for hiking Kinsman Ridge

    Lonesome Lake hut is one of three AMC huts open year-round. During peak season, your rate includes dinner, breakfast, a bunk with 3 wool blankets. Meals are served family style; if you have food restrictions, let them know when you make your reservation. There's running water in the sinks (peak season) and composting toilets. Bunkrooms are smaller here than at other huts; you'll be sharing a room with 3-6 others and most of the bunks are only two high rather than the triple deckers you'll see elsewhere. During the off-season, a caretaker may start a fire, but you're on your own for meals and bedding. Sit on the deck or down by the lake and enjoy the views, maybe some wildlike. If you're not an AMC member, join and you'll get a discount on the rate while also supporting their work.

    It's about 1.6 miles and 1000' elevation gain from Lafayette Place trailhead, making it a family-friendly destination. NOTE: parking at the trailhead is at a premium and you may need to park at the hiker shuttle at Cannon Mountain. If that's the case, drop off the majority of your crew so that only 1 person has to pay the shuttle fee.

    In winter the trail is so frequently travelled that you may not need snowshoes, but I would definitely recommend spikes to minimize the risk of sliding on ice.  Your reward is a beautiful view (on a clear day) across the notch to Franconia Ridge. The Kinsman Ridge towers over you to the west. If you're bagging 4000-footers, it's great to hike up here in the evening one day and then head up to the ridge for the Kinsmans and Cannon the next, to make it just a little easier.

Wildlife viewing: Early morning hours provide best opportunities. One visitor at Moose Hillock Camping Resort noted it's a "short drive to see wildlife from the road."

Outdoor gaming: Reserve facilities in advance during peak summer months. Branch Brook Campground features "tons of activities for the kids" and "many different 'types' of camping options" according to one camper.

Swimming options: Multiple water features available at most properties. At Clearwater Campground, "the lake beach was fantastic, very nicely maintained" and "kayak rental was super cheap and easy to do!"

What Campers Like

Winter accommodations: Year-round options available at select properties. A visitor at Meredith Woods Four Season Camping appreciated that "snow ploughing happens regularly and reliably. Indoor pool and hot tub are amazing on a snowy frigid winter day."

Clean facilities: Standards vary between properties. At Twin Tamarack Family Camping, campers find "a very clean campground! Owners and staff are very welcoming and friendly. Sites are a good size and well spread out. Bathrooms are clean too!"

Fishing opportunities: Stocked ponds at several locations. One visitor at Clearwater Campground reported "my husband could not put a hook in without catching something."

Fall foliage viewing: Peak colors typically mid-September to mid-October. A Branch Brook visitor shared: "Fall camping at branch brook is nothing short of magical. We just happened to book a trip right at peak season for fall foliage.... the colors were absolutely unreal."

What You Should Know

Cell service: Inconsistent coverage throughout region. At Pine Haven, one visitor noted "our cell service was completely gone here, and it felt like we were in the middle of nowhere."

Terrain considerations: Many campgrounds built on hills. At Moose Hillock, "the hilly terrain is insaneeee! If you have never been before, book a sight as close as possible to the pool and office, because the further you get, the higher the altitude."

Noise levels: Vary by location and season. One camper at Branch Brook observed that highway noise is audible, but "it's easy to get to from the south (MA) and centered in the White Mountain National Forest."

Tips for Camping with Families

Water recreation: Check age restrictions for water facilities. At Ames Brook Campground, visitors appreciate the "nicely kept playground and pool."

Rainy day options: Indoor facilities available at select properties. Meredith Woods has "a nice game room for them kids or grown ups that struggle to leave technology behind" according to one visitor.

Playground access: Equipment varies by campground. One Meredith Woods camper noted their playground might not suit all ages: "wish the playground was bigger, and height smaller. Not a structure for small children."

Site selection: Request cabins near amenities when traveling with small children. At Moose Hillock, one parent advised choosing "bottom of the hill sites so we lucked out but it could've been very difficult to navigate with two/three very young kids."

Tips from RVers

Winter RV considerations: Limited year-round options with varying quality. A Meredith Woods visitor shared, "we stayed for a winter weekend, they have a few transient sites that can accommodate RV's year round."

Unlevel sites: Bring additional leveling blocks at certain campgrounds. One RVer noted at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Camp that "the RV site was so uneven."

Hook-up availability: Water, electric and sewer options differ between sites. According to Twin Tamarack visitors, "the price was reasonable" and "Verizon cell coverage was 3 bars of 4G LTE."
