Best Cabin Camping near Raquette Lake, NY

Cabin accommodations near Raquette Lake offer rustic retreats in the Adirondack region. Golden Beach Campground provides cabin rentals with access to a sandy beach on Raquette Lake, while Old Forge Camping Resort features cabins with electricity and basic furnishings. According to one visitor, "The cottages are well maintained and accessible from wherever you are in the park." Cabin sites typically include picnic tables and fire rings, with most properties offering shower facilities in central bathhouse locations rather than private bathrooms within cabins.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. At Old Forge Camping Resort, cabins range from basic "dry" cabins to cottages with private bathrooms. Reservations should be made up to a year in advance, especially for summer months. As one camper noted, "We typically book 1 year prior for the cottages." Pet policies vary by campground, with Golden Beach and Old Forge both allowing pets at cabin sites with certain restrictions. HTR Adirondacks (formerly Singing Waters) offers year-round cabin availability, while most properties operate from May through October.

Most cabins include basic furnishings but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Cooking facilities vary widely between properties, with some offering only outdoor fire rings and others providing indoor kitchenettes. Firewood is available for purchase at most campgrounds including Old Forge and HTR Adirondacks. On-site camp stores at larger resorts stock limited groceries and camping supplies. The nearest full-service grocery stores are located in Old Forge and Speculator, requiring advance meal planning for longer stays at more remote cabin locations.

    Old Forge Camping Resort

    Old Forge Camping Resort, NY

    My family and I have been visiting Old Forge Camping Resort for 20+ years. This is one of the most family friendly resorts and a perfect weekend getaway for those living in other parts of New York State. The visitors/welcome center has everything you need, including firewood, sweatshirts and homemade breakfast sandwiches. There is endless RV camping, tent camping, cabins and cottages available. Make sure you book far enough in advance. We typically book 1 year prior for the cottages.

    The bathrooms and grounds are well maintained and accessible from wherever you are in the park. There are hiking, biking and running trails galore. A volleyball court, playground and even a lake to fish or rent paddle boards. There is a bus from the campground that takes you to enchanted forest safari, which is a great way to avoid parking. Would recommend 100%

    Fish Creek Pond Campground

    A little slice of heaven

    I have stayed here many times over the years, usually for a 10-18 day stretch at a time. This is one of my favorite places. Most sites are right on the water. Square pond is a lovely little lake that connects to a larger lake (Upper Saranac I believe) by passing through a canal. This campground has great facilities. There are restrooms located convieniently throughout the park so you never have to walk more than a few sites no matter where you are. There are hot showers located at one end of the park and a dump station for RVs. The restrooms and showers are cleaned daily. There is a great little general store just outside the park that sells pretty much anything you could want. Sites are equipped with a table and fireplace (most have grates). There are vendors that drive through the park daily selling wood, ice cream (from an old fashioned wagon, get the moose tracks!), and ice. There is a boat supplier that travels the lake every morning and evening dropping off and picking up kayak and canoe rentals. If you love water front camping this is for you! The park is pet friendly but you need to show proof of vaccines. There are great things to do nearby like the Adirondack Museum, Lake Placid, and beautiful hiking spots. You can have power boats and jets skis on the lake as well as non motorized boats. Some of the best sunsets I have ever viewed happened right here. Quiet hours are taken very seriously and rangers walk the park at night warning rowdy fireside folks to quiet down. However, as dusk turns to night, you can always count on the chorus of yodels going back and forth across the lake. This is a wonderful spot! Check it out! You won’t be sorry! Oh, but sites go on sale nine months in advance through reserve America and the best spots wind up booked for the season pretty quickly.

    Caroga Lake Campground

    Good facility, lacks much to do

    We were there 4th of July weekend, and the park was fully booked. Very friendly rangers, electricity in bathrooms, hot showers, and a nice dishwashing and recycling center.

    The campsite connects to the beach area and there is boat rental, but no pets allowed in the beach area.

    For us, a drawback was a lack of any hikes connecting to the campsite.

    Adirondack Mennonite Camping Associates Inc

    Sleepaway camp, family camp, day use

    Beaver Camp (or, officially Adirondack Mennonite Camping Assoc.), is a classic summer youth sleep-away camp on Beaver Lake. Sleeping in cabins with bunk beds, swimming, canoes, and a high ropes course, gathering around the campfire to end the day- Beaver Camp has it all.

    Weekend and week long programming for youth and families, or site rental of cabins and platform tents is available, as well as day use access to the beach and high ropes course.

    This camp is a great way to access a beautiful area in a way customized for your family!

    Caroga Lake Campground

    Overall, nice.

    We spent a relatively quiet long weekend here on loop F 97, which is a bit removed from the main campground. It was a bit noisy on Saturday night but nothing disturbing.  This site also is bordered by a small stream so expect mosquitoes and the occasional visit from wildlife (we had raccoons at our site each night, so kept food in the car). Each site has a fire pit and a picnic table.

    There is a store just outside the entrance that sells ice, wood, groceries.  There are quite a few roadside firewood sellers that are reasonably priced.  The fire pit does not have a narrow grilling grate so bringing something to ensure your food won't fall through the widely spaced bars is helpful.  

    As I said, our site was out of the main population, but it was a bit of a hike to the restroom which is something to keep in mind if you've really got to get to a bathroom first thing in the morning.  

    There is a Walmart about 10 miles away in Gloverville, so keep this in mind if you are planning on picking up essentials when you arrive.  

    There are no sites with electric.

    DevilDoc Campsites

    Rustic camping in the foothills of the Adirondacks

    Rustic camping with all the amenities awaits you at Devil Doc campsites. You will find three tent sites and a small cabin with loft on the property presently. There are plans to expand into another cabin for the bathhouse. A RV trailer is currently being used as the bathrooms as well as a common room for hanging out. Future expansion will see a group site near the upper pond get developed, and a leanto with a glass face. (!) firewood is also available on the premises.  Free to roam around the property, you will inevitably end up hanging around Rich up near his house. The patio is always alive with music, people, and chipmunks who horde peanuts. Basketball is always an option (Rich is a big fan), as well as chilling near the ponds and creeks. The local store is a short 3 mile ride away, if there is anything you forgot, or Rich doesn’t have. Rich could be the most hospitable host we’ve had so far. Music, libations, fire wood and coffee. All were offered and shared. We had a great time there, and will be back. 

    The Devil Doc Campsite are just inside the Adirondack Park foothills. With close proximity to Northville and Gloversville, the world is never that far away. Or a good restaurant. The PeckHill state forest is close by for mountain biking. You can park at the trailhead on CR 101, or at Stump City brewing, to ride the trails. Lots of hiking and great fishing are found in the area, along with plenty of water sport opportunities.

    My son and I had a great weekend there, and will surely be back. Soon!

    Old Forge Camping Resort

    Winter is the In Off Season

    Close to skiing. Snowmobiling is the real reason to come here. Dry cabins or cottages with bath and shower are available. Snowmobile trails are accessible from the campground and seasonal rentals are available. The staff will help you with snow removal and we have even had Valentine Weekend with chocolates and Champagne delivered to our cabin. Call them and plan a winter weekend with no worries.

    Meadowbrook Campground

    Average campground great location

    We stayed at Meadowbrook over Memorial Day weekend in 2024. It's an average campground, but has a really good location between Lake Placid and Saranac Lake. 

    Our site had the standard DEC picnic table and fire pit. There are showers (the hot water was broken the day we were there, but the attendant said we could go to nearby campgrounds to use theirs), toilets, and water spigots. I had decent Verizon signal. 

    The sites were clean, but the fire pit was showing its age. We stayed in site 37, which was a bit more private and surrounded by trees. The sites in the two loops closest to Rte 86 (#1-13, 27-34, and 51-62) were much closer together, and some didn't have trees between sites. Even at our more "isolated" site, we could still see our neighbors. 

    The bathroom was actually one of the nicest I've seen in a DEC campsite; it looked like it had recently been rebuilt. 

    There are positives and negatives about the location. On the plus side, there's ice cream and places to eat within walking distance. We also forgot lunch for our hike the next day and were able to walk to a convenience store to grab supplies. And if you're doing things in Lake Placid and Saranac, the location is tough to beat. On the minus side, there's a bit of road noise and some of the campsites looked like they had great views of a parking lot.
