Best Cabin Camping near Lincoln, RI

Several cabin campgrounds operate within a 30-mile radius of Lincoln, Rhode Island, providing options for visitors seeking rustic accommodations. George Washington State Campground in Chepachet offers cabins with basic amenities, while Holiday Acres Campground in Glocester provides year-round cabin rentals. "Didn't quite feel like camping, but it was still a lovely weekend away at the Mystic KOA. We decided to head down to check out the aquarium and stayed at a deluxe cabin. It was cute and clean and furnished with linens, cookware, utensils, kitchen essentials, keurig coffee maker/pods, and full-sized fridge," noted one visitor. Most cabins include electricity and beds, though amenities vary significantly between locations.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Normandy Farms Campground in Foxborough features premium cabin accommodations with more extensive furnishings, while West Thompson Lake Campground offers more basic options. Reservations are essential, particularly during the peak season from May through October. Some campgrounds like Holiday Acres operate year-round, while others like Stateline Campresort & Cabins in East Killingly are seasonal, operating from May to mid-October. According to one camper, "If you don't have a tent, consider reserving one of their rustic cabins. These offer two sets of bunks (no mattresses) and a small porch with a picnic table and fire ring outside. Some are located along the pond."

Most cabin rentals provide beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, pillows, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary widely—some deluxe cabins include refrigerators, microwaves, and coffee makers, while rustic options may only offer outdoor cooking facilities. The Dyer Woods Nudist Campground in Foster permits pets in their cabins, as do several other locations in the area. Campground stores at locations like Normandy Farms and Canoe River Campground stock basic provisions, though most visitors bring their own supplies. Cabins at KOA locations typically include more amenities than state park options, with some featuring air conditioning for summer comfort.

    Burlingame State Park Campground

    Huge campground, not many level sites.

    I've never camped in Rhode Island, so I was curious to see what a state park campground had to offer. Rates are reasonable for state residents, but quite high if you are out-of-state, given the amenities. There are no hookups, but dump stations are available. Bathrooms have flush toilets and coin-operated showers. There's a small beach at the pond, a boat ramp, and proximity to wildlife refuges and the ocean. It's a HUGE campground, with 700 sites and 20 cabins. Canoes are available to rent.

    There's a nice playground, a camp store, and a naturalists cabin. Trails are available for hiking and biking. The beach is sandy and there's a small parking lot there, but I suspect most people walk to it. No alcohol allowed. 

    I didn't see more than a handful of level sites, with varying degrees of slope, but many are quite large. If you have an RV, plan to level; if you have a tent, be sure to bring good mattresses to protect you from the roots and rocks and orient your head to the uphill side. Most of the sites have some degree of visual separation from their neighbors, but there are places where it's hard to tell where one site ends and the next one starts. Site have fire rings and picnic tables, but if you plan to cook over the fire, bring your own grate or plan to use sticks and/or aluminum foil. 

    If you don't have a tent, consider reserving one of their rustic cabins. These offer two sets of bunks (no mattresses) and a small porch with a picnic table and fire ring outside. Some are located along the pond.

    3-4 bar cell phone coverage. No road traffic. East Beach is nearby, but parking fills early.

    Cape Cod Campresort & Cabins

    Great 1st experience

    They have glamping sites, which include full hookup, fire pit with chairs, octagon shaped picnic table and stone patio for your rv front door. Pets welcomed, a ton of extra activities like row boat rental, kayak rental, mini golf for $3 all day, must bring a bicycle helmet if your riding bikes(state law), a small store, firewood for purchase, gated community, so you feel safe, 3 pools, laundry etc. We were impressed, only thing is main pool seems alittle run down and arcade area could look better than it does. Wish the had outdoor mo ie nights and crafts for kids

    Mystic KOA

    Awesome Sunsets at the Mystic KOA

    Didn’t quite feel like camping, but it was still a lovely weekend away at the Mystic KOA. We decided to head down to check out the aquarium and stayed at a deluxe cabin. It was cute and clean and furnished with linens, cookware, utensils, kitchen essentials, keurig coffee maker/pods, and full-sized fridge. Only complaint was an odd, musty smell we couldn’t quite figure out.

    The grounds are large with vast amounts of space. Be forewarned that it’s right off of 95, and the sound definitely carries. Trees are sparse in areas, but the sunsets were a nice trade off. Amenities seemed nice from what we could tell - cool outdoor movie screen, pools and playground, though we certainly didn’t get to enjoy these things in February.

    Mystic KOA

    Great campground for coastal CT & RI

    We stayed at Mystic KOA in North Stonington, Connecticut, to be tourists in Mystic. Spoiler alert… we had a great stay! 

    This campground is just 15-minutes from Mystic and about an hour’s drive to Newport, Rhode Island. It’s just a few minutes from I-95 and so close to Mystic Aquarium, downtown Mystic, Mystic Seaport, and all the local spots. 

    It’s a well-maintained campground with 2 pools(though the larger one was closed for maintenance during our stay), lots of play areas and daily activities for little ones, and a cool“pub truck” for adult drinks. Our site(#408) was about 85’ long with plenty of room for our 45’ motorhome and toad(and then some!). It was level and gravel with a nice fire ring and picnic table. The hookups worked fine with 50-amp electric and decent water pressure. Cable TV had nearly 50-channels, but the wi-fi didn’t quite reach our part of the park. 

    Due to a family issue, we needed to leave about a day-and-a-half early. We called the office as a courtesy to let them know as we were pulling out and received a partial credit for a night’s stay on our credit card. Didn’t even ask, they just did it. Thanks Mystic KOA! 

    We’ll definitely be back. This is a great place to stay when visiting the coastal Connecticut/Rhode Island area.

    Barretts Pond Campground — Myles Standish State Forest

    Small campground near a small pond at Myles Standish

    This campsite loop at Myles Standish State Forest is closest to the headquarters and borders a small pond with beach. In addition to tent/RV sites, there are 3 yurts available with bunks. Sites that appear to be near the pond are pond view rather than pondside. Approaches to Yurt JC and J5, J 26, J27 are sloped. J14 is a little awkward. J33 is probably among the largest and nicest with a pond view. The sites aren't as large as those in the Charge Pond loops, but it's a smaller campground.

    The loop has flush toilets and showers. Water is available, but no electric hookups. Fire rings and picnic tables provided. Cell phone coverage throughout the forest is poor to absent; download maps for offline use if you want to be sure to know where you are or find directions. There are miles of bike trails and ponds for fishing, swimming, and boating. There's a larger beach and picnic area at College Pond.

    Boston Harbor Islands State Park Campground

    Peddocks Island, Boston Harbor

    This campground has 6 yurts and 6 tent sites. The yurts have bunk beds, a floor lamp, a table inside, a picnic table outside and a grill. Just getting to the island is a fun adventure. The island is beautiful and has an old fort to explore as well as a lot of Rocky shoreline and trails. You can build bon fires and see gorgeous sunsets. During the day you can take small ferries to a variety of other islands to go swimming or explore. This is a great adventure for kids. On peddocks island there is plenty of drinking water available and a ranger station. These sites book quickly, so you should try to book 7 months to the day in advance. That said, you can also look for last minute openings. I been 3 times and always have a great time. This campground is only open during the summer months.

    Mystic KOA

    Wasp Breeding Ground!

    Pros: Helpful staff, morning garbage pickup, excellent laundry facility, plenty of activities and amenities for children. Cons: Wasps!! Wasps everywhere!! We did our best to keep them at bay by lighting some sage but they were persistent. Not much privacy back in the tent/cabin areas, camp sites very close together and people have the ability to stare right into your site.

    Spacious Skies Minute Man

    Planes, Trains, Dump Trucks...

    The campground itself is beautifully wooded with mature pine trees. However, the sites are packed so tight you can barely maneuver in and out. We only have a 17' travel trailer pulled by a Ford Explorer and had great difficulty backing it in. I did not see any pull-through sites. Our site had a picnic table, fire ring and water & electric hookups. When we arrived we were given a rules list (as customary) that strongly threatened to remove anyone who was too loud, including dogs. I was a little worried because our Border Collie sometimes barks when people walk their dogs past our campsite. Anyway... after we went to bed we were awakened by a cacophony of road noises, including trains, trucks, and tractor trailers. Planes sounded like they were flying right above our heads. Trucks sounded like they were dumping rocks only feet from our site. In between those noises, we could hear a group of people partying outside on the deck of a house very close to the campground. This went on well into the night. Even though my husband has poor hearing, he couldn't sleep through all that. And yes, the irony of the campground's stern noise warning wasn't lost on me. We were there 3 sleepless nights. I would suggest bringing quality earplugs if you go there. Oh- and they do not allow you to choose your site. You get what's assigned to you.


Guide to Lincoln

Cabin camping near Lincoln, Rhode Island provides rustic lodging options within a 35-mile radius. The region features several state parks and private campgrounds with wooded terrain at elevations ranging from 200-400 feet above sea level. Winter cabin rentals in this area often require advance planning, as many facilities reduce operations during colder months when temperatures can drop below freezing.

What to do

Disc golf course access: West Thompson Lake Campground offers an on-site disc golf course perfect for beginners and experienced players. "There are plenty of hiking trails including a disc golf course," noted one visitor who stayed at the West Thompson Lake Campground.

Swimming options: While some parks have restrictions, Sutton Falls Camping Area provides swimming in their pond. "They have an indoor and an outdoor pool. The restrooms are clean. I highly recommend staying here," shared a camper at Normandy Farms Campground.

Kayaking and canoeing: The calm waters at several area campgrounds accommodate paddlers of all skill levels. A visitor to West Thompson Lake mentioned, "The lake and adjoining river offer hours of fun for small craft. Take a long paddle up the river and you'll be escorted by hundreds of bluebirds and cedar waxwings."

What campers like

Recreational amenities: Many cabin campers appreciate the variety of on-site activities. "There is a really long list of amenities for this campground...four pools (include an indoor heated one), fitness room, creative arts center, camp store, 20,000 square-foot activities building," explained a visitor to Normandy Farms Campground.

Private cabin locations: Some cabins offer more seclusion than others. At Sutton Falls Camping Area, one camper was "delighted when we learned we had the little peninsula of site P1 all to ourselves. Stunning views across the large pond, and serving as a wonderful halfway rest/respite on the journey."

Seasonal events: Holiday-themed weekends provide extra entertainment for cabin guests. A camper at Normandy Farms mentioned, "We stayed here for a few nights when they celebrated Halloween. It is super easy to get around. They had tons of festive activities."

What you should know

Site spacing and privacy: Cabin placement varies significantly between parks. At George Washington State Campground, a visitor noted, "Sites were well spaced and provided some privacy depending on your site choice. Grounds were well kept, bathrooms were very clean with hot showers (bring quarters, $1.50 for 6mins)."

Bathroom facilities: Quality and cleanliness vary by location. One camper at George Washington Campground mentioned, "The new bathrooms are great! Lots of things to do in the area as well," while another noted, "Water pressure in the showers was seriously lacking and the bathrooms needed to be cleaned" at a different facility.

Seasonal operation schedules: Most cabin rentals have limited availability during colder months. Stateline Campresort operates from May 1 to October 15, while Boston/Cape Cod KOA extends its season from March 15 to November 15.

Tips for camping with families

Child-friendly activities: Some campgrounds offer specialized programming for younger visitors. At Boston/Cape Cod KOA, a visitor shared, "The activities for kids is the draw for this campground for sure. My kids loved the train rides, movie night, flash light candy hunt, and arts and crafts."

Lake safety considerations: Not all water features are suitable for swimming. A camper at West Thompson Lake Campground noted, "The lake is pretty but you cannot swim or eat the fish. There are a lot of choices for hiking including a disc golf course."

Pet policies: Many cabin rentals accommodate four-legged family members. "They accommodated us very well and we were reassigned to 178 and it was a nice level decently large site that we were very happy with. Staff there was very friendly and helpful," reported a guest at Stateline Campresort & Cabins.

Tips from RVers

Site selection and pricing: Paying for premium sites often yields better results. A visitor to Boston/Cape Cod KOA advised, "I have learned that you really need to upgrade to the better campsites to enjoy your stay. With that being said I did not take my own advice and I booked a basic 30 amp fullhook up campsite and it was so tight that unfortunately I did not enjoy it."

Off-season discounts: Several campgrounds offer reduced rates during shoulder seasons. At Stateline Campresort, a camper noted, "Called on Sunday morning and reserved a spot for 2 nights. Was very helpful on the phone, though was not informed that on Sunday the office and store closes early at 3 but was still able to check in easy enough. Clean bath house and restrooms, quiet despite there being a pretty full park. Overall not bad for the off season cost of $30."

Proximity to attractions: Some cabin locations provide convenient access to regional highlights. A visitor to Normandy Farms mentioned, "Normandy Farms is approximately 35 miles from Boston. If you don't want to drive to the city, you can park at the nearby train or subway station and ride into the city."
