Cabins for rent near Greensboro, Vermont offer varying degrees of rustic or modern experiences depending on the specific park or campground. Private woodland cabins provide shelter from Vermont's seasonal weather patterns, which range from warm summer days averaging 70-80°F to much cooler nights, even in July and August. Vermont's Northeast Kingdom region surrounding Greensboro sits at elevations between 900-1,500 feet, creating microclimates that can affect camping conditions throughout the year.
What to do
Paddle on mountain lakes: At Brighton State Park Campground, cabins and lean-tos provide easy access to Spectacle Pond. "I loved being able to just jump in the boat and float around, especially at night to look at the sky. There were loons calling every night also which I love," writes camper Tina D. Rental boats are available at reasonable prices.
Mountain biking access: Many cabin sites serve as perfect base camps for accessing Vermont's renowned trail systems. One camper at Mountain View Campground notes, "If you want to visit Stowe, VT, this is a great place to camp. It's also only an hour from Burlington, so this could be a good home base for visiting there."
Winter adventures: Some cabin locations remain open during snow season. A camper describes Smugglers Notch: "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 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."
What campers like
Private settings: Many travelers appreciate cabin setups that provide more seclusion. At Art and Health Chill Camping, a visitor reports, "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."
Well-maintained facilities: Clean cabins consistently receive positive comments. A visitor at Moose River Campground reported, "Our site was pristine and backed by the river. Extremely clean and well kept Campground. The owners are wonderful and very friendly."
Natural sounds: Campers frequently mention enjoying wildlife sounds from their cabins. At Brighton State Park, "Love listening to the loons in the morning. My boyfriend & I camp here on a yearly basis with his fam," states reviewer Heather O. These natural soundscapes provide a genuine wilderness experience even from established cabin sites.
What you should know
Reservation requirements: During peak season, book cabins well ahead of time. A camper at Ricker Pond State Park Campground advises, "I've been visiting Ricker Pond for nearly 20 years (except for the years that I don't book enough in advance and aren't able to secure a spot for my desired length of stay). My favorite lean to site is directly on the water, private, and fills up fast."
Internet connectivity: Cell service varies significantly between cabin locations. At Art and Health Chill Camping, a visitor notes, "There is a common area building on the property with Wi-Fi, a bathroom and a kitchen area. 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."
Space constraints: Cabin sizes and layouts differ greatly between locations. At White Caps Campground, one candid reviewer cautioned, "The spots are so close to each other that I could hear my neighbor flush their toilet from inside my rv." Always check cabin dimensions when booking.
Tips for camping with families
Multiple accommodation options: Some properties offer various sleeping arrangements. Sugar Ridge RV Village provides diverse choices: "We stayed here and were VERY happy! Dog friendly, mini golf, heated pool, two playgrounds, and crafts and fun things for the kids!"
Kid-friendly amenities: Look for cabins at campgrounds with dedicated children's facilities. A visitor at Tree Corners Family Campground reports, "Massive campground made mostly for those with kids. They have two separate pools and hot tubs for kids and adults. Tons of other activities for kids- splash pad, water slides, playground, basketball court, etc."
Check age policies: Not all cabin locations welcome families with small children. A camper at Moose River Campground observed, "We knew ahead of time that their site said they don't cater to kids; however, we felt like we had eyes on us the entire time and not just because we had kids with us."
Tips from RVers
Hookup variations: Electric service can differ from what's advertised. At Sugar Ridge RV Village & Campground, one camper shared, "Family staying next to us found their site had 50 amp service not the expected 30 amp and they needed to borrow an adapter cord."
Site placement: Consider location when booking cabin or RV sites. At Mountain View Campground, one visitor explained, "Despite the really hot weather and need to run three air conditioners, we did not have any power issues. We tended not to sit outside because of the heat which was fine because your patio is really close to your neighbors RV."
Dump station access: Not all cabin areas provide on-site dumping. At White Caps Campground, a camper noted, "No dump site on property, i was told my only option was to go down the road to Willo Campground and i could dump my tanks there for $30."
