"Very nice place, easy to book reasonable price because of winter season they close the bathroom, but there is a jiffy John waste, dump station have water and laundry, if needed "

"Close to tons of beautiful hikes. As for the campground. It was quiet, comfortable, and kid, as well as pet friendly. Would definitely camp here again."

"Really shady and the campsites are private enough. They do really enforce those quiet hours. Also the WiFi only really works near the office and is very spotty so I wouldn’t rely on it."
"We stayed at a leanto, which have the better views of the lake! These sites are the same price, so it is worth it. The campground has a trail to the shore line, which is nice!"
from $6 - $28 / night

"I have done tent, cabin and t.v. camping here. a lot of family activity in my favorite place. the outdoor choices are plenty, but the campground is slipping trying to be too much and seems to let the infrastructure"
GuideCar camped on Sunday of Columbus Day weekend in October. This was their closing weekend and lots of spaces were available. Stayed in tent circle loop and it was almost empty. Great access to lake shore and bike path. Walked back toward marina and town in the evening and ran in the morning the other direction going out to Rock Point. Didn’t use the shower facilities. The bathroom near our loop only had sinks and toilets and was fine.
GuideNice campground near Killington, VT. Water and dump station. Not for big rigs we have a 21 ft TT. Things were tight but doable. One of the few Vermont state campgrounds that is still open. Most close from second Monday in October until Memorial Day.
GuideStayed here to be able to do the bike trail. Was warned to keep the bikes locked up. The sites are very close together. The picnic tables and fire pits(tire rims) are moveable. Our picnic table was in rough shape and broken.
The bathrooms have keypads on them but on our last morning there was a guy in the bathroom with his pants on the floor sitting in a shower chair for a couple of hours. The bathrooms also have spiders all throughout them. The water pressure was high and the showers were hot.
ScoutVery nice campground with great modern facilities. Many of the RV lots have nice views of Lake Champlain.
ScoutPeaceful, quiet, relaxing space. Super friendly staff.
ScoutThis was our first trip away from home. The campgrounds are clean with beautiful views.
GuideOriginally we reserved mountain view. It waa getting ready to rain...alot for 1 - 1/2 days. The mountain views didn't have gravel, but hard dirt. However beautiful shady areas (we drove thru the another day to check it out) looked nice, but it's hard to imagine on the side of hills to level 🤷🏼♀️
We really like the riverside view..it's across the street & about 300' down the street.
But is a great location for places to go & things to see. A few Miles from Whiteface mtn & about 15 min to downtown Lake Placid.
ScoutLove it here, great for swimming, kayaking and camping with your family
TravelerJust stayed at Drapers Acres for the Iron Man in Lake Placid. We stayed in a cabin and daughter and her husband stayed in their rig in an RV site. They clearly state that they are not a camping resort, but a base camp for the area adventures. Rest rooms were clean and had plenty of hot water. Staff was friendly and welcoming! Great playground for the kids to play on and plenty of privacy. Cabin was basic - had fan, heat, mini-fridge and microwave. If visiting the area again, I would not hesitate to stay there again! The RV site was large with plenty of space for their 40 foot rig and jeep. Use AT&T towers and had the ability to use phone as a hotspot.
Cabins near Hinesburg, Vermont offer diverse accommodations across Vermont's central region where elevations range from 600-900 feet in the Champlain Valley. Cabin camping options span several state parks and private campgrounds within 25 miles of Hinesburg. Winter temperatures often drop below 0°F while summer days typically reach 75-85°F, affecting cabin selection and amenities.
Hiking trails with historic elements: Little River State Park Campground features trails with remnants of old homesteads. "There are lots of old foundations hidden on the trails that are fun to discover," notes Rita M. The park offers both easy walks and more challenging routes with "actually pretty steep" sections according to the same visitor.
Kayaking on Lake Champlain: Grand Isle State Park Campground provides direct water access for paddlers. A visitor mentions, "Canoeing or kayaking on the lake is great and there are paddle only sites available." The park features "great local overnight spot with flat tenting, privies, and picnic tables" accessible via water routes, according to Caitlin M.
Winter backcountry activities: Seasonal cabin campers can find off-season opportunities at Smugglers Notch State Park. One visitor shared that it's an "Incredible winter spot!" explaining, "Hike/snowshoe in to your site as the gate is closed and the area is not plowed... Right in the middle of great nordic and alpine backcountry skiing."
Proximity to Burlington amenities: North Beach Campground cabin users appreciate the urban-wilderness balance. "Biking into Burlington takes 5-10 minutes and you're also right on the beach of Lake Champlain," reports Brittany R. Another camper adds, "We love North Beach! It is a convenient bike ride down the bike path to the waterside park. Easy access to all of Burlington by bike."
Lake views from elevated sites: The best cabin camping views come from strategic placement. At Grand Isle, a visitor notes, "Some of the best sites are up on a bluff with views over the lake and towards sunrise." Many cabins include outdoor seating areas where visitors can enjoy these perspectives while remaining sheltered.
Seasonal swimming options: Button Bay State Park Campground offers swimmers both lake access and built facilities. "There is a pool for swimming, paved roads are good for bikes & scooters, pavilion for activities, lake for swimming & fishing and hiking trails," states Lacy C. Note that "the pool closes after Labor Day weekend" according to another visitor.
Booking timeline requirements: Cabin reservations require advance planning. For Camel's Hump primitive cabins, the hiking distance creates natural limits: "The designated primitive camping area is about 1.5 miles into the hike. If I recall it had about 10-12 sites."
Bathroom and facility access: Most cabin sites have nearby bathroom facilities but not always attached. Little River State Park features recently renovated facilities with a camper noting, "Bathrooms in 'B' were just redone." Some cabins have limited winter facilities as "No facilities off season…Carry out all trash/waste."
Site selection strategy: Shelburne Camping Area offers year-round cabin options but site selection matters. "The place is more like a trailer park with a lot of long term RV rentals," notes one camper, while another shares, "it's very close to museums, the town, and farm areas. If you want a campground with a view this isn't a favorite."
Playground proximity: Button Bay State Park features family-friendly amenities with "a great playground for kids and a nice swimming pool! You can hike on the trail and Lake Champlain is right there!" Multiple cabin locations offer sites near play structures.
Beach access considerations: AuSable Chasm Campground cabins provide activities for various ages. "We loved being able to walk down to the beach, as well as having full hookups. We also met the nicest people here," shares Laura L. about a nearby option. Beaches vary in size and facilities.
Wildlife education opportunities: Many cabin camping locations offer ranger-led programs. "The ranger programming was exceptional, as are the views and the nearby areas for hiking and backpacking," reports a visitor to Smugglers Notch State Park, where educational opportunities run throughout summer months.
Cabin alternative for RV owners: Apple Island Resort offers cabins that provide alternatives when RV travel isn't possible. "Lots of spots for in and out visitors. Seasonals are mostly elderly residents but set back from the non-seasonal sites," notes Dave M. Cabins here include many RV amenities.
Hookup variations: When using cabin facilities, water and electrical setups vary significantly. One visitor noted, "The hook-ups at our site were well-placed but the sewer pipe was high off the ground which did not let it drain even with a 'slinky.'" Always check specific hookup configurations before booking.
Seasonal considerations: Weather impacts cabin camping near Hinesburg significantly. "Visit this campground in the fall and experience quintessential Vermont in all its glory," recommends one Apple Island visitor, while others note winter restrictions at most locations except Shelburne.
