Cabins near Moultonborough, New Hampshire range from rustic to modern accommodations nestled in the Lakes Region at approximately 700 feet elevation. Winter temperatures frequently drop below freezing from November through March, with summer highs typically reaching 80°F. Many properties offer cabin rentals year-round with seasonal pricing variations reflecting summer demand.
What to do
Water activities on Lake Winnipesaukee: Long Island Bridge Campground offers direct lake access and equipment rentals. "Love this campground, great views of the lake. Nice neighbors. Lots of space for my kids to run around," reports one visitor.
Hiking nearby mountains: Several trails within 30 minutes of Moultonborough cabins provide options for various skill levels. "Got to walk to hike Gunstock. Wished there was a restaurant within walking distance. But not a show stopper," notes one camper at Gunstock Campground.
Winter activities: Unlike many seasonal operations, some cabin properties remain open through winter. "Snow ploughing happens regularly and reliably. Indoor pool and hot tub are amazing on a snowy frigid winter day," says a visitor who stayed at Meredith Woods Four Season Camping during colder months.
River tubing options: Many cabins provide access to local rivers for summer recreation. "The beat part is the location to the river. It wraps around the campground making it a great place to go tubing," notes a visitor about Branch Brook Campground.
What campers like
Private wooded sites: Several cabin properties offer secluded settings with natural screening. "The sites are well-spaced, providing privacy while still feeling part of a community of fellow campers," writes a visitor to Branch Brook Campground.
Clean facilities: Maintenance standards vary across properties but remain consistently high at most established locations. "Bathroom facilities were always clean. Staff was friendly and accommodating," reports a camper who stayed at Harbor Hill Camping Area.
Waterfront access: Direct water access remains a primary attraction for cabin rentals. "This was an absolutely beautiful four day weekend spent at this campground. They had great rent spots, amazing employees, and perfect kayaks that we could rent for a Sunday on the water," shares a guest at Long Island Bridge Campground.
Dog-friendly accommodations: Many cabins near Moultonborough welcome pets with specific amenities. "Very pet friendly with dog park, agility equipment, dog pond and dog wash," notes a visitor to Chocorua KOA.
What you should know
Reservation requirements: During peak seasons (June-August), cabins book 3-6 months in advance. "We arrived without a reservation a bit after the office closed, but Elena, the manager came out to let us in and allowed us to check in. She was great. Dogs must have proof of rabies vaccine," shares a visitor to Gunstock Campground.
Access road conditions: Some properties have challenging entry points, particularly in winter. "I feel that the owners/managers are very neglectful. They do a bad job plowing (my rig bottomed out twice on snow banks) and I fishtailed on the access road," warns a winter visitor to Branch Brook Campground.
Quiet hour enforcement: Many campgrounds strictly monitor evening noise levels. "The security people have been extremely aggressive to us. I could understand if they asked us respectfully not to add to it but the woman got right in our face yelling at us," reports a visitor to Danforth Bay Camping & RV Resort.
Winter cabin utilities: Heated bathhouses are available at select locations for off-season stays. "Utility sink for dishes available in heated bathhouse. Squeaky clean - and that's not always easy especially in the winter when everyone drags snow, slush and mud into the bathroom," notes a winter guest at Meredith Woods Four Season Camping.
Tips for camping with families
Playground amenities: Most family-oriented properties offer recreational equipment. "Has a pool and a couple playgrounds for the kids AND a recreation room with arcade games, pool, ping-pong and other games," notes a visitor to Harbor Hill Camping Area.
Swimming options: Several properties provide both pool and natural water access. "Has 2 big beautiful pools and a smaller one with a kids slide. Large campsites and well maintained," reports a visitor to Danforth Bay Camping & RV Resort.
Activity schedules: Many cabin properties run structured family programs. "There's quite a few activities available for kids and adults, they do arts and crafts, movie nights, hikes and other things for children," shares a guest at Chocorua KOA.
Beach features: Sand quality and water depth vary between locations. "This place is a hidden gem! The lots are huge with fire pits. Our site was right on the river! You can swim right in the river," reports a visitor to Tamworth Camping Area.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling requirements: Many cabin areas have uneven terrain. "We explored the grounds & noted some sites that were a smidge more secluded and plan to return again sometime!" shares a visitor to Gunstock Campground.
Hook-up configurations: Electrical service varies between properties. "Our site was labeled as a 50 amp connection, but it wasn't, it was 30 amp. So double check that," advises an RVer who stayed at Danforth Bay.
Winter parking considerations: Off-season cabin access requires additional planning. "They do a bad job plowing and I fishtailed on the access road. They don't salt or sand anywhere on the premises," warns a winter visitor to Branch Brook Campground.
Site spacing: Adequate distance between sites varies considerably by property. "Sites are easy to get in to with an RV and level. Only a few remote sites for tents," notes a visitor to Harbor Hill Camping Area.
