What to Do
Kayaking on Lake Champlain: Grand Isle State Park Campground offers cabins with convenient lake access. "Kayaking, sailing and fishing abound at this sprawling facility. Just a quick ride to Burlington, VT, if the quiet is too much for you," notes a visitor to Grand Isle State Park Campground.
Winter camping and skiing: Some cabin properties remain open during snowy months. "Stayed at a lean-to site here in March of 2019. Free of charge during off season, you just have to call a couple weeks ahead to reserve... Right in the middle of great nordic and alpine backcountry skiing and snowshoeing," reports a winter visitor to Smugglers Notch State Park Campground.
Local trails exploration: Many cabin accommodations provide access to regional trail networks. "You can bike directly from here all the way to Burlington, without ever getting back in your car! Take the bike ferry across a small section of Lake Champlain and keep on riding," shares a camper about nearby recreational opportunities.
What Campers Like
Private cabin settings: Cabins with secluded locations tend to receive high ratings. "This campground is great. Nice and quiet. Campsites are well spaced. Some of the campsites on the outside ring you need to walk into (a very short distance), but it makes it feel very secluded and less like car camping," notes a visitor to Smugglers Notch State Park.
Lean-to options: These three-walled structures offer protection from weather while maintaining an outdoor feel. "We stayed in the lean-to with our two toddlers. It has 3 walls and netting on the fourth. Inside there are two queen sized platforms (we put an air mattress down) and it is right on the river," explains a family staying at Brewster River Campground.
Bathroom facilities: Clean shower and restroom buildings matter to cabin campers. "The campground is updated with a new laundry room and shower house. There are 2 pools (one for adults only) and a hot tub," writes a visitor to Mountain View Campground, noting the newer amenities available.
What You Should Know
Seasonal availability: Many cabin properties operate with limited seasons. "Free of charge during off season, you just have to call a couple weeks ahead to reserve and make sure you park in the allotted area. Hike/snowshoe in to your site as the gate is closed and the area is not plowed. No facilities off season," advises a winter visitor.
Reservation requirements: Cabin rental policies vary significantly between properties. "It's a beautiful and quiet campground with limited spots that you have to reserve before going (they don't do walk-in's)," notes a camper at Brewster River Campground about their policy.
Site selection importance: Cabin locations within campgrounds can significantly impact experience. "Put thought into choosing which site to reserve to enhance your experience! Love Brewster River Campground before a big hike the next day!" recommends a repeat visitor who appreciates strategic site selection.
Tips for Camping with Families
Water activities planning: Families often appreciate cabin properties with swimming options. "There is lake access for kayaking, sailing, swimming and fishing. Brush up on your French so you can converse with the many Canadian visitors while you charge your phone at the designated wi-fi/charging area surrounded by flowers," suggests a visitor to Little River State Park Campground.
Recreation options: Properties with organized activities appeal to families with children. "There is mini golf, a playground, corn hole, and tube rentals for the river behind the campground," notes a visitor describing Mountain View Campground's family-friendly amenities.
Beach access considerations: Several cabin locations offer swimming, but conditions vary. "The beaches were rocky and almost a mud/sand mix. The lake had green algae and we spotted several dead fish floating. It made me nervous about the water," reports a visitor at Lake Carmi State Park Campground, highlighting the importance of checking current water conditions.
Tips from RVers
Hookup variations: Cabin renters with RVs should note hookup availability differs widely. "The site was level and all the hookups were well-placed and worked fine. Despite the really hot weather and need to run three air conditioners, we did not have any power issues," explains an RVer at Mountain View Campground.
Site dimensions: RV-friendly cabin properties have varying site configurations. "Our site (#103) was long enough to fit our rig but we had to squeeze the car in front. The site was level and all the hookups were well-placed and worked fine," notes a reviewer describing the practical details of their stay at a cabin campground.
Campground access: Road conditions and arrival logistics matter for those bringing RVs to cabin properties. "The campground is located near the interstate for easy in and out but there are no pull-thrus so you will have to unhook no matter how long you are staying," advises a visitor at Mountain View Campground, providing helpful logistical information.
