Best Cabin Camping near Huntington, VT

Cabin accommodations near Huntington include rustic options at Little River State Park and more modern facilities at Smugglers Notch State Park. Little River cabins provide basic shelter with electricity but no running water, while Smugglers Notch offers cabins with more amenities including heating for cooler months. Most cabins include picnic tables, fire rings, and access to nearby bathroom facilities with showers. Sleeping arrangements typically feature bunk beds or platform beds that accommodate 4-6 people. "The cabins look nice but a little close together. They don't pick up the phone right away so call a few times to get ahold of someone," notes one visitor about cabin proximity at certain locations.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Camels Hump State Park features more primitive cabin options for those seeking a true wilderness experience, while Lake Placid/Whiteface Mountain KOA Holiday provides furnished cabin rentals with additional amenities. Reservations for cabin sites fill quickly, especially for waterfront locations at parks like Button Bay State Park. Most state park cabins allow pets with appropriate documentation, though private campgrounds may have stricter policies. A review mentioned, "I've been visiting Ricker Pond for nearly 20 years. 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. Basic cabins typically have electricity but limited furnishings beyond beds and tables. Kitchen facilities vary widely—some cabins offer only outdoor fire rings with cooking grates while others provide small refrigerators and microwaves. Shelburne Camping Area and North Beach Campground maintain on-site stores selling firewood, ice, and basic provisions. Visitors staying at more remote cabin locations should bring all necessary supplies, as the nearest grocery stores may be 15-30 minutes away by car. Drinking water is available at central spigots throughout most campgrounds, though not directly at cabin sites.

    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.

    Lake Carmi State Park Campground

    Quiet lakefront camping post Labor Day

    General: Large state park with two loops, both of which are lakefront. A mix of primitive sites (no w/e/s), lean-tos, and two cabins, one in each section. Sites/lean-tos are designated premium (lakefront) or non. There is also an ADA-accessible lean-to. Upon check-in, you are given a gate code to enter. 

    Site Quality: Our site, like all others, was generous in size and a back-in site. Most sites don’t have clearly defined camper pads, and the surface is grass/dirt (or mud if it has rained recently). A large wooden picnic table and fire ring complete the site. There are plentiful trees, so each site has at least some shade and some are very shaded. Lakefront sites have a filtered view of the lake through the trees. 

    Bath/Shower House: The one closest to us was very clean. Three stalls and one shower. Cold water only at both the sinks and the shower (at least I didn’t get any hot water). The showers do take quarters and although you get five minutes for each quarter (up to 15 quarters, although I can’t imagine taking that long of a shower), it was quite possibly the wimpiest shower I’ve experienced in quite some time. But, after I finished, I saw my quarter had been returned. The toilet paper was so thin, it was nearly transparent! 

    Activities: Although swimming is allowed, the “beaches” are very small and there was a bacteria warning in place when we were there advising against swimming. There are two boat launch areas, one in each loop. Great for kayaks, and canoes, and we saw what looked like a fishing boat. There was one very annoying motorboat revving its engine while doing circles in the lake. The day-use area has a small, dated playground, fire pit, horseshoe pit, and volleyball net. There is a short nature trail and one other small walking trail. Nearby is access to the Missisquoi Rail Trail. 

    A surprise was a family of ducks who visited our site when I was outside reading! Our stay was very quiet during the week after Labor Day, but I imagine the vibe is quite different during summer weekends, especially given the sign in the restroom stating that quiet hours are strictly enforced. We were annoyed by one loud boat so I can’t imagine what it would be like if the lake was filled with boaters. This is why we prefer shoulder-season camping!

    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.

    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.

    Lake Placid/Whiteface Mountain KOA Holiday

    The Great Outdoors!!!

    The KOA was recently moved from a different location, so some pictures see on a Google search are no longer the location. This newly acquired property has 2 sides, the mountain side and river side you can choose when booking they are about 1/4 mile away from one another. This campground is very maintained. The campground on the mountain side has a playground, huge store, gem mining, arcade (which needs some love), hiking trails and a common area with some games. They have cabins, tent site areas, and huge wooded camper sites. The mountain side in general is my ideal campground full of trees and nature. The bathrooms were always clean and shower areas had great water pressure. The river side is new and on the side of the river but has you baking in the sun 🌞 there is no trees at all for shade. And there is no separation between you and the next person. There is only camper sites on that side. On the river they have a small place to put in kayaks and wade in water. They have a jumping pad on that side also. Both sides have the tractor driving around, pulling the kids around. The area is awesome with beach access along the river with a huge playground. Your at the bottom of whiteface mountain which is full of hikes and watering holes to swim in, lake placid downtown area is 20 mins away. Its a beautiful area. The girl working in the store Kyla rocked and her gf Jess who drove around on the golfcart and helping out everywhere were so fun. They lived on site and were such great people who made the trip more fun!!


Guide to Huntington

Cabin accommodations in the Huntington area range from remote wilderness options to family-friendly resorts, with availability primarily from May through October. Most Vermont state park cabins operate seasonally, closing after mid-October due to harsh winter conditions. Cabin sites vary in accessibility, with some requiring short walks from parking areas while others offer drive-up convenience.

What to do

Explore abandoned settlements: Little River State Park features historic hiking trails leading to old foundations from an 1800s mountain community. "We visited here with our 5 kiddos for 2 nights late July 2016. The hiking trails are really good--actually pretty steep. There are lots of old foundations hidden on the trails that are fun to discover," notes one visitor from Little River State Park Campground.

Kayak reservoir waterways: Access remote areas by water at Little River State Park's reservoir. "Great campground for hanging out and a place to bring your boat. The reservoir is a fun place to explore via kayak and canoe as well as by motorboat! We tend to hang at the site more than the beaches as the beaches are very small and full of children," shares a camper.

Winter backcountry access: Smugglers Notch State Park Campground provides off-season cabin access for winter enthusiasts. "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," explains one winter visitor.

What campers like

Waterfront cabin options: Button Bay State Park offers lakeside cabin access. "Wonderful state park, the waterfront sites are fantastic, they are wide so smaller units can be parked parallel to the lake. Bathrooms are clean, facilities are great. Easy access to the lake. Book early for the best sites," advises a repeat visitor at Button Bay State Park Campground.

Secluded forest settings: Cabins at Camel's Hump State Park provide true wilderness immersion. "This is a short and sweet hike to one of the higher points in Vermont. The designated primitive camping area is about 1.5 miles into the hike. If I recall it had about 10-12 sites. The area had a host who was there 24/7 and a shared area for eating and food storage," reports a backpacker from Camel's Hump State Park.

Urban-adjacent locations: North Beach Campground cabins offer proximity to Burlington's amenities. "Burlington is my favorite city by far, and this campground is right on the beach! You get the best of both worlds at this location. Biking into Burlington takes 5-10 minutes and you're also right on the beach of Lake Champlain," explains a North Beach camper.

What you should know

Reservation timing: Cabin sites at popular parks book months in advance. "The cabins at Button Bay fill quickly, especially waterfront locations. Book early for the best sites," notes a regular visitor.

Amenity variations: Cabin facilities range from primitive to full-service across different parks. "They don't have all the usual amenities, it's more of a primitive set up," explains a visitor about Smugglers Notch cabins, while Apple Island Resort offers "full hook-ups at our site that was plenty long enough."

Wildlife considerations: Apple Island Resort cabins provide more protection from local wildlife. "There is a short trail on the property which leads to a large open grassy area with a great view of the lake and area where we threw a ball for our dog," shares a visitor, while Camel's Hump requires "a shared area for eating and food storage (I guess Bears are a problem there)."

Tips for camping with families

Child-friendly cabin options: Shelburne Camping Area offers family conveniences. "The grounds were landscaped well, and they were changing flower beds over to mums for fall during our stay. The bathhouse was clean. The ladies side had a fresh flower arrangement everyday," reports a family from Shelburne Camping Area.

Swimming access: Grand Isle State Park provides cabin options with beach proximity. "What a lovely state park! We had a huge campsite that was comfortable for 3 tents and 6 adults. The park has swimming pool with life guard. Nice park for cycling the Lake Champlain Byway," notes a recent visitor.

Educational opportunities: Little River offers family learning experiences. "The ranger programming was exceptional, as are the views and the nearby areas for hiking and backpacking," mentions a visitor who appreciated the educational aspects of cabin camping near Huntington.

Tips from RVers

Winter weather considerations: Mountain cabins require appropriate preparation. "Silent and starry nights, just make sure you have the gear/experience and a warm sleeping bag," advises a winter visitor to Smugglers Notch cabins.

Off-season availability: Several parks offer reduced rates for cabins during shoulder seasons. "In October, you get a second night free!" at Shelburne Camping Area, according to a visitor who appreciated the value.

Proximity to amenities: North Beach provides urban convenience for cabin stays. "Bring your bikes! You're tucked away in the woods on gorgeous Lake Champlain and can bike into Burlington for meals and city street strolls," recommends a North Beach camper, highlighting the advantage of cabin camping with quick access to services.
