Best Cabin Camping near Wells, NY

327 Reviews

Moffitt Beach Campground and DevilDoc Campsites both offer cabin accommodations within the Adirondack region near Wells, New York. Cabins at Moffitt Beach include electricity, picnic tables, and fire pits for evening gatherings, while DevilDoc provides more rustic cabin options with basic furnishings. A visitor commented, "We stayed on the south side of the lake, right on the water. We had breathtaking views and were able to slide our kayaks right in, on our site," highlighting the proximity to water at some cabin locations. Most cabins provide beds with mattresses but lack linens and pillows. Bathroom facilities vary from shared campground facilities to more private options depending on the specific site selected.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Moffitt Beach Campground operates from May 19 through October 19, while Lake George Escape Campground provides year-round cabin access. Reservations are required, particularly for waterfront cabin sites which fill quickly during summer months. Most cabins accommodate 4-6 people with various sleeping arrangements including bunk beds and futons. One camper noted, "We have visited this campground twice and already have a trip planned again this august! It is one of the nicest state campgrounds we have been to." Pet policies vary by campground, with many allowing dogs for an additional fee.

Most cabins include basic furnishings but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities range from simple countertops with microwaves to full kitchenettes with refrigerators and stovetops in more premium cabins. Several campgrounds maintain small camp stores selling firewood, ice, and essential groceries, though selection is limited. Campers should bring cooking utensils, dish soap, and food supplies. The town of Speculator, approximately 15 minutes from Moffitt Beach, offers more extensive grocery options. Firewood is available for purchase at most locations, though DevilDoc Campsites has plentiful natural wood onsite that guests can collect.

    Lake George Escape Campground

    Disneyworld atmosphere

    I have been coming to Lake George escape for 15 years now and I have watched it's transformation from a family run business to a corporate campground. I loved when it was smaller operational wise, It had a more rustic appeal to it , the camp store was small and just had a dated vibe about it. That being said it's become a big operation. They offer everything now , it really is like being at Disney. The daily schedual for the kids it's non-stop all day , they rent golf carts ,kayaks , pedal carts, canoes .They have cabin rentals , pool , a restaurant ,bar , dancing. It's perfect if you prefer glamping but you can also get a site off grid at the same time. You need to see there website to get a full picture of it.

    Cooperstown KOA

    Nice Park

    This park is located approximately 12.5 miles from downtown Cooperstown and is set in the quiet rural countryside of New York. The mature trees make for beautiful scenery in the fall. There is a mix of sites varying from tent, RV, rental trailers, and camping cabins/cottages/lodges bringing the total number of sites to 120. Back-in and pull-thru sites are available. Site types include full hookup, water and electric, and no hookup with prices varying depending upon site. You can choose between 30/20 or 50 amp electric service. Interior roads are gravel and some site pads are gravel while others are grass. 

    The park is nicely terraced and all the sites are level. Patios were a grassy/dirt area with a picnic table and fire pit. Our site (#41) was a pull-thru but there was no way we could drive our 45’ motorhome forward out of the site because of a large tree and narrow roads. So we ended up having to back out. The free wifi worked well as did our Verizon 4G phone and hotspot. We picked up a dozen or so television channels with our antenna. The park does have a fair amount of trees that would interfere with roof-mounted satellite dishes so you would have to pick your site carefully. But, there are some 30 amp and no hook-up sites that are clear. This is a typical KOA with lots of amenities including a swimming pool(which was closed for the season when we were there), a playground, volleyball court, basketball court, jump house, pavilion, recreation room, bicycle rental, and horseshoes. Showers, restrooms and laundry are also present and clean. There is a propane filling station. While there is no fenced-in dog park there is a pet walking area. The surrounding area is pretty rural and the closest town (Richfield Springs– which is very small) is five miles away and where you will find restaurants, gas station, grocery store, and more. A few miles from the park is a creamery that has a café. 

    Approximately five miles away is Glimmerglass State Park which was great for hiking and kayaking Otsego Lake. There is a also a historic house at the park that you can tour and the country’s oldest covered bridge. Cooperstown is a little over twelve miles away from the park but well worth a trip. Not only is Cooperstown home to the National Baseball Hall of Fame but it is a charming downtown well worth exploring. Other nearby attractions include The Farmers Museum, Fenimore Art Museum, Hero’s of Baseball Wax Museum, Glimmerglass Opera, and Cooperstown Brewing Company.

    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%

    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.

    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.

    Lake George Escape Campground

    Glamping at its Finest!

    The tent we stayed in was gorgeous! We fit 5 of us comfortably. Linens, blankets and pillows were provided. There was a fire pit, BBQ, picnic table with umbrella, covered platform, and a partition between campsites. There were plenty or outdoor activities to do such as swimming, tubing, kayaking, sports, and bike rentals. They had a gift shop and arcade on site as well. We unfortunately got hit with some pretty bad weather so we couldn't enjoy the grounds as much as we would have liked to but that was obviously not their fault. We had to evacuate the mountain our last evening because of really bad thunder and lightening but the ranger was very helpful and came around to warn us all and encourage us to be careful. They even refunded us for that last night. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a real "glamping" experience! You always see those fancy campsites on Pinterest or Instagram so now you can experience it yourself close to home if you live in NY.

    We made the most of our rainy weekend by checking out the town and some caves. Plenty to do in the area of you want to venture out of the campgrounds but if you're there with good weather I doubt you will be bored!!

    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!

Guide to Wells

Cabin camping near Wells, New York puts visitors in the southern Adirondacks at elevations between 1,300-1,700 feet, creating cool evenings even in summer months. The area's numerous lakes and ponds form a water-rich landscape carved by glaciers, with cabin options ranging from rustic to deluxe that typically require booking 4-6 months in advance for summer weekends.

What to do

Hiking nearby trails: Multiple trail systems connect directly to some campgrounds for easy access to nature walks. At Caroga Lake Campground, one reviewer noted that while the facilities are "simple but well cared for," a drawback was "a lack of any hikes connecting to the campsite." Visitors might prefer nearby options at Moreau Lake State Park Campground where a camper highlighted "over 20 miles in hiking trails, this is one of the nicest parks, I've visited."

Watercraft activities: Many cabin locations provide lake access for fishing and paddling. At Golden Beach Campground, "There are outhouses at the sites and one in particular has a great view up on a ledge... also very windy so be prepared." Visitors can rent boats at several locations or bring their own. "They have a boat launch for kayaks which came in handy during my stay," mentioned one camper.

Swimming options: Most cabin locations include swimming areas with varying amenities. Some have designated beaches while others allow lakeside access. "Nice sandy beach with lifeguard hours," reported a visitor about Moreau Lake, while DevilDoc Campsites offers more natural swimming opportunities with a reviewer stating "You'll fall asleep to the sounds of bull frogs, oh and the star gazing is pretty darn nice as well!"

What campers like

Private, spacious sites: Many cabin areas provide good separation between accommodations. At Moose Hillock Camping Resorts, "The sites at this park are huge. You could have parked three RVs in our site. Added bonus is that there is nice separation between sites with trees and shrubs that block out your neighbors and provide lots of privacy." Another visitor commented, "Sites are huge. Plenty of room for our RV, and small tent. Private."

Clean, well-maintained facilities: Cabin campers appreciate locations with regularly serviced amenities. At Lake George RV Park, visitors consistently mention cleanliness: "The campground is so clean and nice! Perfect for the dogs with best dog park I ever saw. Pools and hot tubs extremely clean and the grounds looked more like a hotel resort than campground." Another reviewer noted, "Well maintained from the roads now to the gardens. They pay attention to every detail."

Firewood availability: Access to campfire materials varies by location. At DevilDoc Campsites, "Property has an abundance of free firewood you can collect," while other locations sell bundles at varying prices. One camper observed, "Their price for firewood is $9 for an average size bundle but there are plenty of places along Route 149 with better prices."

What you should know

Reservation timing: Most cabin facilities require advance booking, especially for summer. "These sites fill quickly and are often no vacancy so be sure to reserve ahead," noted a visitor to Moffitt Beach Campground. Holiday weekends can fill 6-8 months in advance.
