Best Cabin Camping near Bolton Valley, VT

Cabin accommodations near Bolton Valley include a diverse selection of options, from basic shelters to fully furnished units. Ricker Pond State Park Campground offers rustic cabins with electrical outlets but minimal amenities, requiring guests to provide most camping necessities. Other nearby options include the Littleton/Franconia Notch KOA Holiday, which features more developed cabin facilities with proper beds and climate control. Most cabin sites include fire rings and picnic tables for outdoor meals and gatherings. Bathrooms are typically centralized facilities within campgrounds rather than private in-cabin facilities. "The basic cabins have an electrical outlet, quarter-run showers, and an excellent country store/restaurant a few miles away that has anything you may need and might have forgotten."

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. The most basic cabins provide shelter with minimal amenities, while more developed options include electricity, beds, and sometimes kitchen facilities. Many campgrounds in the region operate seasonally, with most cabin facilities available from May through mid-October. Reservations are strongly recommended, especially for waterfront cabins which tend to book quickly. A visitor noted, "I've been visiting Ricker Pond for nearly 20 years. My favorite lean-to site is directly on the water, private, and fills up fast. My favorite cabin site is set back from the water, is private, and also fills fast for the season."

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Cooking setups vary widely between properties, from simple fire rings to more equipped kitchenettes in deluxe cabins. Camp stores at locations like Ricker Pond State Park and Littleton/Franconia Notch KOA offer basic supplies, firewood, and ice. Local general stores in surrounding communities provide additional provisions for longer stays. Cabin guests should check with their specific campground about what amenities are included before packing, as standards vary considerably between basic and premium accommodations. Cell service can be limited in some areas, with one camper noting, "There is absolutely no cell service for miles, so plan accordingly."

    Nulhegan Confluence Hut

    Beautiful, even in the rain!

    This hut has it all and its pet friendly! It's a short walk from a roadside parking area (though a little longer in the winter due to the parking being moved across the road). There is a lovely wood burning stove and fire wood is supplied. There's a nice deck outside with a picnic table and fire ring there as well. The river is a few steps away and water can be treated from there. 

    There is a well maintained privy outside the cabin and toilet paper was available. The cabin has a sleeping loft with a few foam mattresses but the stairs are quite steep, too steep for a four legged doggo to make it up and down. There is a futon downstairs that can be used as a couch or sleep two people. There are dishes and everything you need from knives to bottle openers. There is a propane stove and a kerosene lamp. 

    The Nulhegan section of the Silvia O. Conte wildlife refuge is a short drive away with a lot of hiking options. There is a general store less than five minutes away in Bloomfield, VT. This spot really can't be beat!

    Galehead Hut

    Mountain Luxury

    Expensive but incredible. Great food and cozy bunks. Bunks are in shared bunk rooms. Best to have a reservation, especially in July. Croo is wonderful. Overall great stay, huts make it easy to light the trip load. But no pets allowed in hut.

    Baker Rocks

    Great location and amazing facilities

    I tent camped here while doing some fishing in the area.

    Baker Rocks had a host of different camping options onsite including tent platforms, yurts, and cabins. I booked one of the tent platforms.

    The site had a large tent platform they could fit multiple tents, a brand new picnic table, a fire ring (with a free bundle of firewood), two chairs by the fire ring, and even a few strings of solar lights around the camp area.

    The tent sites are within the wooded area around the property and felt very secluded. There was a bit of road noise overnight.

    The facilities here were great. There is a full bathhouse with individual rooms for showers and sink/toilets, with running water.

    Around the campground there was a little beach along the Baker river. I only caught a few minnows when fishing but that may have been more to do with the angler. Along another bend of the river were two chairs for taking in the scenery.

    Check-in was super easy with the camp hosts who were very flexible with timing and wanted to make sure I had a great stay. The property and individual sites are deliberately designed with guests in mind.

    I would definitely stay here again if I’m in the area and might try some of the glamping options as well.

    Art and Health Chill Camping

    Great vibe & location!

    Can’t say enough good things about this place.  It is a private landowners land, and she has various camping options including a cabin, hives, or open locations for rv or tent camping.  We stayed for a long weekend with friends in a separate rv, and then a friend who rented a hive.  The land is 8 acres, and you feel a sense of privacy and serenity. You hear roosters in the morning from a local farm.  The views are vast, and it’s relaxing.

    Logistically, there is a good place for rv parking below the garden hoop house.  It is a flat long gravel area, which can access power, but you’ll need an extension chord or two to reach it.  The hives are set back from this area and behind other gardens, near a water source.   There is a cabin in the middle of the property, and then additional rv or tent camping in another area above the main house, which also has an electric hookup.  Each area is far enough away from the others that you feel a sense of privacy and serenity.  

    There is a common area building on the property with Wi-Fi, a bathroom and a kitchen area, which seemed to be used mostly for making tea or accessing the kitchen sink for water.  I am not sure if you could use it for cooking - you would need to ask the landowner.  It has a small sitting area with tourism/hiking/sightseeing guides and maps.  We used it to check email and make phone calls, as cell access is spotty in this general area of Vermont and we didn’t have a cell signal by our rv.  You can shower and use the toilet.  I would recommend bringing your own soap and shampoo.

    There are a few fire pit areas on the property, and the land owner will show you where you can find wood in the surrounding woods.  The gardens are full of flowers and vegetables.    There is also a sauna and a yoga room, neither of which we used. 

    It truly is a magical environment.  You are a few minutes away from Cabot, which is very small.  The area is a hiking and gravel biking hot bed.  The “Ride the Ridges” gravel ride passes the property, so you can do the course from there.  There are numerous hikes of all distances and difficulty in this area of Vermont.

    Quechee-Pine Valley KOA

    Typical KOA

    This KOA is what you expect from a KOA– lots of amenities, sites of all sizes and levels of cost, tons of activities, and in a vacation destination area. We spent five nights at the campground and found lots to do in the area and that we had an enjoyable and pleasant stay. 

    The park is a large park that is terraced since it is in a pretty hilly area. There is the range of sites from pull-thrus, pull-ins and back-in sites and can accommodate RVs of any size. Some sites are full hookup while others are not and that is reflected in the cost. We paid $57/nigh for our full hookup site which is pretty costly especially since we did not use any of the amenities. Most sites are gravel with gravel patios but there are deluxe sites with paved patios, patio furniture, umbrella, and gas bbq grill. There are also camping cabins, some of which have kitchenettes and bathrooms that sleep six people. 

    Our site, was located in the back of the park in a quieter section because it was away from most of the activities and park entrance. The site was a pull-in which was kind of nice because the view out of our front windshield was of a wooded area. Our fire pit was in the front of our site so there was a nice amount of privacy when we sat outside by a campfire and didn’t feel like we were on the side of the road. Despite the hilliness of the park and all the trees, we did not have any trouble navigating our 45’ RV to our site. The trees at our site would prevent satellite television reception but our site had cable and we got about 20 or so channels. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Like many KOAs there are tons of amenities and things for kids to do – swimming pool, fishing ponds, bike rental, scheduled activities, propane sales, camp store, fire wood delivery, and more. There is a fenced dog park which was a fairly good size and our lab was happy to chase a ball. 

    As a whole, the park was very clean and manicured. No trash laying around and the gravel roads were free of potholes. The campground is located near the Queechee Gorge, covered bridges, hiking trails (including sections of the Appalachian Trail), good dining, maple syrup/cheese farm, the Marsh Billings- Rockefeller National Historic Park.

    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.

    White Caps Campground

    We were so surprised that this was such a dump!

    We made a single nights reservation, for a tent, based on recommendation from Kingdom Trails website. The campground is located in a beautiful area of Vermont, but....the tenting campground, a bit dismal. We arrived to find a teeny tiny space, right next to other spaces...in fact, had we set up our small tent, we would be less than ten feet from adjacent tents. Within less than 20 feet across the dirt path were side by side tent trailers and rvs. We would not have been able to use the metal fire ring because the fire would have been within 6 feet of our small tent. When we backed our car onto the narrow space, it was within a foot of the picnic table. Basically, it would have been like camping in a WalMart parking lot on a Saturday morning...if the parking lot was a treeless dirt lot. Within 3 minutes, we decided there was no way we could stay here, we were just not that desperate! We stopped at the rest room on the way out...gross! Smelly, wet, dirty, dingy. As we left, we decided that this was the best 25.00 we ever wasted...in fact, you could not have paid us to stay there . We cannot believe Kingdom Trails continues to suggest this disaster. I will add, the girl at the store/office was quite friendly...but she did not seem surprised when we returned for our bathroom key deposit so quickly! We were fortunate in that we could just head home...but if you are planning on a peaceful nights rest after mountain biking or hiking, this is not the place. There are beautiful state parks that we could recommend, and we just don't want folks that end up here to think that this is typical for Vermont camping!

    White Birches Camping Park

    A little something for everyone

    This Camping Park has something for just about everyone. Whether you have an RV (small, medium or large), tent, are looking for a cabin or want a little more of a wilderness feel, this place has something to offer. 

    While the campground looks to be primarily RV camping from the road, there are many tent sites tucked away in the trees and even two sites that are walk-in only and are situated right on the Androscoggin River. Additionally, the campground has several nice cabins available as well.

    Let's start with the RV sites: there are a bunch! This campground also hosts many seasonal campers who have sites situated around the perimeter of both sides of the campground (split by Route 2). Seasonal campers have some pretty sweet set-ups for sure. The only downside to some of the RV spots is that they can be in the sun almost all day which can be a bit much in the heart of the summer. Otherwise, sites are well maintained and have all the normal hookups for RVs.

    Tent sites are well spaced and almost all of them are in the shade which is a huge bonus! Each site has a picnic table, fire ring and nice level spot to pitch your tent. Bath houses are conveniently located throughout the campground and are well maintained. 

    The two walk-in tent sites are very secluded and offer fire rings, picnic tables, a bear box and one of the two sites has a wooden tent platform. The second site's tent platform is currently being built (July 2020) and should be at the site and ready for use soon. These sites sit right on the beautiful Androscoggin River, offering a serene backdrop for your camping adventure.

    The campground is situated in-between two large tracts of the White Mountain National Forest. Great hiking is available at the campground as well as a short drive away. If hiking is a hobby of yours, look no further! This is a great location to base yourself out of to get some solid miles under your belt. There is a campground office that has a small store as well as laundry facilities. They also offer an AT Hiker Hostel. They also have a nice heated swimming pool, playground and many other amenities. When there isn't a global health pandemic, they have a bouncy house for the kids. They often show movies on the lawn when the weather cooperates. They also rent kayaks and you can launch from the campground or they will shuttle you some place near by.

    It really is a campground with a little bit of everything! Owned by locals of the community who have run the place for over 25 years.

    Clearwater Campground

    Now Hunter’s Run RV Park

    This is now called Hunter’s Run. Many seasonal campsites more than half the campground. Good site spacing. Store only open limited hours and staff on site only limited hours. Probably due to new corporate owners. Very quiet off season and during the week. No wood available during our visit, 2 bundles locked in cage area but nobody around to purchase from. Bathhouses and showers very clean at lakeside section of campground. Nice clean beach area at the lake. Looks like kayak and canoe rentals. This is on south side of NH route 104 which is a busy road. Some road noise noticed from our location near the lake. Gravel/dirt sites with fire pits ( rocks ) and picnic table. Called office to arrange for site and they called back. Staff very helpful to find a good site and making reservations.


Guide to Bolton Valley

The White Mountains region surrounding Bolton Valley offers unique camping cabin options at elevations ranging between 800-1,200 feet. Seasonal temperature fluctuations can be significant, with summer highs typically in the 70s and overnight lows sometimes dipping into the 40s even in peak season. Most camping cabins near Bolton Valley require reservations at least 1-3 months in advance during the prime May-October season.

What to do

Riverside activities: Several campsites near Bolton Valley offer riverside sites with stream access. At Lost River Valley Campground, you can enjoy shallow water perfect for wading. "You cannot really swim much in the river, but the kids had a blast playing in it and fishing for little trout," notes Michele S.

Hiking trails: The region features numerous hiking options from gentle forest walks to more challenging mountain trails. At White Mountain National Forest Wildwood Campground, campers enjoy direct access to the Appalachian Trail. "The campground is just a few miles west of I-93 and the town of Woodstock. If you want to hike Mooselauke or the Kinsmans, the Appalachian Trail crosses 112 nearby," explains Jean C.

Swimming and pools: While natural swimming holes exist, some campgrounds offer designated swimming areas or pools. "This campground was clean, nice sites, private, amenities galore, friendly staff and AMAZING pool! Will definitely be back annually," shares Jennifer E. about her stay at Moose Hillock Camping Resort.

What campers like

Site privacy: Many campers appreciate secluded sites with natural buffers. At Moose River Campground, sites along the water offer more privacy. "Our site was pristine and backed by the river. Extremely clean and well kept Campground," writes Jeff, noting the peaceful atmosphere.

Waterfront locations: Cabins situated alongside rivers, ponds or lakes are consistently rated highly. According to Nancy W., "If you can score a riverfront site those are nice to sit outside and enjoy a fire. The pull thru sites are very close on one side as each RV pulls in the opposite direction; however, the sites are so long that if you pull up far enough you are not looking at your neighbor."

Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention well-maintained bathrooms and showers as important factors. At Country Bumpkins Campground and Cabins, visitors note the attention to detail: "Bath house was clean the water pressure was the best I've ever experienced. Very clean grounds and you can tell they take pride in their site," shares Adam J.

What you should know

Cell service limitations: Many camping areas near Bolton Valley have limited or no cellular connectivity. At Lost River Valley Campground, one camper notes: "Very nice, quiet campground. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. No cell service on the south side of campground."

Reservation requirements: The most desirable cabins book quickly, especially waterfront options. For popular campgrounds like Littleton / Franconia Notch KOA Holiday, early booking is essential. "Site #18 was gorgeous, close to the river so could hear the water every night, plenty of riverside sites. Staff at KOA were awesome!!" reports Robert L.

Accessibility challenges: Some campgrounds feature challenging terrain that may impact mobility. At Moose Hillock Camping Resort, one reviewer observed: "The campground is very hilly and kids are ripping around in pedal and motorized bikes and scooters which is fine but no control at all in regards to speed and helmets."

Weather preparedness: Mountain weather can change rapidly. Pack layers as evening temperatures can drop significantly, even in summer months.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly campgrounds: Several properties specifically cater to families with designated play areas and activities. At Sugar Ridge RV Village & Campground, families find numerous amenities: "We stayed here and were VERY happy! Dog friendly, mini golf, heated pool, two playgrounds, and crafts and fun things for the kids! We truly enjoyed this park," recommends India H.

Safety considerations: Campsites near water require extra vigilance with children. At Country Bumpkins Campground and Cabins, one parent noted a safety concern: "The playground is across this busy road which I find very dangerous IMO."

Activity planning: Bring games and activities suitable for rainy days, as mountain weather can be unpredictable. Some campgrounds offer indoor options: "There is a small arcade game room, WiFi at each site and an outdoor play area for kids," mentions Sawyer G. about Country Bumpkins.

Tips from RVers

Site selection: Many cabin camping areas also accommodate RVs with varying hookup options. At River Meadow Campground RV Park, campers find full-service sites. "Primarily for RVs. Combo of seasonal and transient. Excellent services. On CT river w kayaks and canoes," notes Terry C.

Leveling challenges: Some campgrounds have uneven sites requiring additional preparation. "It was slightly uphill, so we had to pull the RV all the way to the front of the site to be able to level," shares one RVer at Country Bumpkins Campground.

Utility connections: Not all sites offer the same hookups, so verify what's available when booking. "The water is delicious by the way, so don't bother with any bottled variety– this is the good stuff," notes Shari G. about the water quality at Ricker Pond State Park Campground.
