Best Cabin Camping near Addison, VT

CAMPER SUMMARY PRESENTED BYFord

Button Bay State Park offers 4-person cabins with Lake Champlain views and rustic accommodations. The basic cabins include electrical outlets, beds with mattresses, a dining table with chairs, and a deck facing the lake. Branbury State Park Campground provides cabins near Lake Dunmore with similar amenities and easy beach access. These cabins typically lack running water but provide a roof and walls for protection against weather while maintaining a rustic camping experience. Rogers Rock Campground in nearby Hague, New York features cabins within walking distance of lake access points. "We stayed in a wooded area surrounded by large rocks my daughter could climb on. The beach was nearby and included in the stay with horseshoes and a playground," noted a visitor about their Branbury State Park cabin experience.

Reservations are essential for cabin camping, particularly during summer months when most state parks operate from Memorial Day through mid-October. Lake Placid/Whiteface Mountain KOA Holiday offers year-round cabin options with more amenities than state park cabins, including heating for winter stays. Pet policies vary by location, with Button Bay and Rogers Rock allowing pets at some cabin sites while others prohibit them. A camper observed that Branbury's "lean-to lots looked nice too if you're looking for coverage," referencing the park's alternative to full cabins that provide partial shelter with open fronts.

Most cabins require visitors to bring their own bedding, pillows, cooking equipment, and food supplies. Firewood is available for purchase at Button Bay, North Beach, and Shelburne Camping Area. Kitchen facilities are typically limited to outdoor fire rings with cooking grates, though KOA cabins may include small refrigerators or microwaves. The North Beach Campground and Shelburne Camping Area maintain on-site markets for basic provisions. Bathrooms with showers are centrally located in most campgrounds rather than inside individual cabins. For visitors seeking more amenities, Kampersville near Lake Dunmore offers cabins with closer access to convenience stores and supplies.

    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.

    Lazy Lions Campground

    Nice quiet place

    Nice campground with plenty of shade, well maintained and decent restrooms. The showers are ok and cost a quarter for 4 minutes. Our site was level and along with a picnic table, they also provide two Adirondack chairs (plastic) and a fire ring.

    Chittenden Brook Campground

    Great site

    This was a great site that feels secluded but isn’t. There’s quite a bit of space between each site so you can’t really see your neighbors which is excellent. The vault toilets were surprisingly clean besides the expected smell/flies. No running water or electricity. No cell service a few miles leading up the site, so download your maps in advance. There’s a 2.5 mile dirt road with a steady incline into the camp, which my subie had no issue with, but not sure how well an RV would fair.

    Didn’t see any bear, but take bear food precautions regardless. Each site has a fire pit, tent platform, and picnic table. The sites were well cared for. There were two dumpsters, one for recycling and one for trash, at the end of the loop. They are bear proof and almost me proof! The constant sound of running water from the brook was truly relaxing. I didn’t have issues with bugs (beginning of August) but I also didn’t stay in the camp during the majority of the day.

    All in all, a great campsite and I’ll definitely be back.

    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!!

    Button Bay State Park Campground

    One of our favorite spots for sunsets and crisp fall days

    We've been camping at Button Bay for years, and while it can be hot and buggy in the summer months, there is no place we'd rather be in September! There are two campground loops to choose from. The first is where you'll find the lean-tos and the dog trail/beach. This area is super quiet, offers a bit of shade, and plenty of privacy. We almost always get the Catalpa or Willow lean-to because we bring dogs and it's easy for them to run to the lake and cool off.

    The second camping loop has a few waterfront camping cabins, which we are dying to check out, but haven't yet. The main camping area is essentially a huge field, so not much shade or privacy. The benefit of this area is that it's closer to everything - the playground, pool, nature center, kayak and canoe rentals, and the trail out to the point. There are also amazing views of the lake and the mountains right from the camping area.

    I think this is one of the best state parks in Vermont for families with kids, and for dogs. There isn't a great place to swim in the lake here, although plenty of people swim off the point. There is a nice pool, but it closes after Labor Day weekend. If you want to swim in Lake Champlain, I highly recommend Kingsland Bay State Park, just a few miles north.

    Definitely hike the short nature trail out to Button Bay Point. It's especially lovely in the evening as the sun is setting. Enjoy!

    Silver Lake Campground

    This is a great place for the whole family

    This is one of our favorite places to camp in Vermont. The sites are fairly private without being built too close together. Lake is clean and has a great concrete dock that the kids love to jump off. They have boat rentals and nature tours on the lake led by the state park faculty. When the kids get tired from swimming they're a nice beach area and playground.

    Smugglers Notch State Park Campground

    Smugglers Notch State Park

    I’d say this was one of Vermont’s best kept secrets, except I don’t think it’s exactly a secret. Even in October, the Park seemed full with visitors and Stowe was hopping! Leaf peepers were in full force and the grounds were absolutely spectacular- I really picked the perfect time of year to go. Nights got pretty brisk, but the foliage was breathtaking.

    The Park, located along scenic Rte108, has about 20 tent sites and 14 lean-to’s well dispersed throughout the grounds. A couple spots were drive-in sites, accessible to those with disabilities; most had small pathways and/or stairwells leading to their platforms. There was not a bad site within the entire vicinity. All were fully shaded and extremely private. Although, I’d be curious about checking out Sites 1 or 16 next time around!

    Bathrooms were clean and the main office sold firewood at the entrance. Facilities are also pet friendly. Plus, there are so many hiking trails and recreational opportunities in and around the Park-from Stowe Mountain Resort to the quaint shops in town and local craft breweries. And even with the Park seeming “full”, the grounds were perfectly quiet, without the incessant sound of generators you find at larger state parks.

    Without a doubt, Smugglers Notch State Park is a favorite of mine!

    Little River State Park Campground

    One super state park campground for the entire family

    This is the only campground in the area I will stay at. It has so many benefits, I may not be able to do it justice in this review. The sites are huge. We fit two camper vans, two tents and put up a 20x20 rain tarp on Site 5. The site was freshly raked when we got there, and the leftover wood was stacked next to the fire pit. Picnic table easily seats 8. Lots of bathrooms around the park, each with showers. Firewood and Ice, along with some necessities are available at the office. Cell phone service is touchy depending on where you are in the park. There is fresh water available. Lots of activities to do here, from the Nature Center and hiking trails to seriously wicked mountain biking trails designed by Mr. Knight overlooking the reservoir where boating of all kinds is allowed. And the fishing in the river below is quite stellar. There's even an abandoned town up on top of the mountain for younto check out.


Guide to Addison

Cabin camping near Addison, Vermont offers access to both Lake Champlain and the nearby Green Mountains, with elevations ranging from 95 feet at the lakeshore to over 1,000 feet in the nearby highlands. Winter temperatures often drop below freezing from November through March, while summer cabin stays typically experience daytime highs between 75-85°F with cooler evenings. Most cabins in the region lack air conditioning but benefit from natural ventilation and shade.

What to do

Lakefront swimming at Branbury: Located on Lake Dunmore, cabins provide easy beach access. "The beach was nearby and included in the stay with horseshoes and a playground," notes a visitor about Branbury State Park Campground.

Hiking trails from cabin sites: Several parks offer trail access directly from cabin areas. At Lake Placid/Whiteface Mountain KOA, "Behind the 100-Acre section are trails that lead to Whiteface Mountain so you don't have to get in the car to start a hike," explains a reviewer.

Watercraft rentals: Putnam Pond Campground offers affordable canoe rentals. "Canoe rentals on site," mentions a camper at Putnam Pond Campground, adding "the water is cool, clean and beautiful."

What campers like

Proximity to attractions: Cabins in Shelburne put visitors near cultural sites. "The grounds were landscaped well, and they were changing flower beds over to mums for fall during our stay," observed a guest at Shelburne Camping Area.

Fall season cabin stays: Autumn provides comfortable temperatures and scenic views. "Fall in New England can't be beat," notes a Branbury State Park visitor about their cabin experience.

Private island options: Some locations offer uniquely isolated cabin experiences. At Putnam Pond Campground, "Site roo5 is our favorite a private island all to yourself! Roo6 is good too but a little further to row out to."

What you should know

Bear-aware precautions: Proper food storage is essential at certain sites. According to a Branbury visitor, "Just make sure you put your food and trash away—there are black bears in the area!"

Cabin size limitations: Most cabins accommodate 4-6 people maximum. At North Beach Campground, sites are "right on the Burlington bike path and across the beach," but cabin space is limited to small groups.

Seasonal closures: Many cabin facilities operate on limited schedules. "Stayed here 1 night in June. Quiet out of the way state park on the shore of Lake Champlain," notes a Button Bay visitor, highlighting the importance of understanding operational dates.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly activities: Several parks offer specific recreation for children. At Button Bay State Park Campground, "This state park is so fun to camp at! It has a great playground for kids and a nice swimming pool!"

Noise considerations: Some locations are quieter than others. A Kampersville reviewer notes, "If you are looking for peace and quiet, this is not the place," making it important to research noise levels when booking cabins with children.

Nature programs: Educational opportunities exist at multiple parks. "There's a nature center with all kinds of information and activities," explains a visitor to Branbury State Park about programs available to cabin guests.

Tips from RVers

Shower facilities: Most cabin sites have centralized bathrooms rather than in-unit facilities. At Rogers Rock Campground, "the bathrooms and shower houses are maintained and cleaned daily," according to a long-time visitor.

Road conditions: Access to some remote cabin sites requires navigating unpaved roads. "Some roads are unpaved, unmarked with directional signs, very narrow, and tough to navigate," warns a Rogers Rock visitor.

Winter accessibility: Limited cabin options exist during colder months. A Lake Placid/Whiteface Mountain KOA guest confirms year-round availability, noting their cabins include heating systems absent in most state park structures.
