2 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several cabin rentals in the Northeast Kingdom provide visitors access to Vermont's outdoor recreation opportunities. Moose River Campground in Saint Johnsbury and White Caps Campground in Westmore offer cabin accommodations with varying amenities. Brighton State Park and Maidstone State Park feature rustic cabins with electricity, picnic tables, and fire rings. "The hut has it all and it's pet friendly! 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," noted one visitor about Nulhegan Confluence Hut. Most cabins include basic furnishings like beds or futons, though some state park cabins may have more limited accommodations requiring additional supplies.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Littleton/Franconia Notch KOA Holiday in nearby New Hampshire provides more amenity-rich cabin options with electricity and indoor plumbing. Mountain Lake Camping Resort offers diverse lodging including cabins and yurts with varying comfort levels. Reservations are essential during summer months, especially at popular locations like Brighton State Park, which operates from Memorial Day weekend through Columbus Day. A reviewer at Art and Health Chill Camping mentioned, "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."
Most cabins require visitors to bring their own linens, pillows, sleeping bags, and cooking supplies. Basic cabins typically provide shelter, beds, and sometimes tables and chairs, but lack running water or kitchen facilities. Campers should pack appropriate bedding, cooking equipment, lighting, and food supplies. Small camp stores at locations like Moose River Campground and Sugar Ridge RV Village stock essential items, while general stores in surrounding communities offer more extensive provisions. On-site bathhouses with showers and toilets are available at most established campgrounds, though cabin guests must walk to these facilities rather than having private bathrooms. Winter cabin visitors should confirm availability of heating sources and access conditions before booking.

"Pool with water slides for kids, Kayaks, paddle boats, canoes, playground with slides and a pirate ship."

"If you are looking to be secluded it's not for you, however, it is centrally located to attractions in the white mountains and Franconia."
LegendThis is a great campground for families! Conveniently situated for skiing, climbing, hiking and leaf peeping. Amenities include; swimming pool, dog park, horseshoes, arcade, disc golf, basketball and more! They also have a propane fill station. As KOA’s go, you will pay for these amenities, but you get a lot of bang for your buck.
TravelerWe come to this campground every year to hike a few 4000+ mountains. Typically we come in the fall. There are several full hook up rv sites, some without sewer and several spots for RVs near the river. While the pizza shop (Celli's) is closed for renovations right now, we love their pizza and fries. The bathrooms are decent and there is hot water!
TravelerQuiet campground experience. Very cheerful staff member. Ice Cream shop is a bonus. We found a secluded spot without reservations. Monday evening. Some sites are tight for larger RVs but our Class B Camper Van fit fine.
GuideThis is one of our “go to” campgrounds when in NH. Super clean and good mountain biking.
GuideThis is out 2nd time here. Bathrooms, showers and laundry facilities are very clean and well maintained. Water sites are close together but the views are great. It’s very pleasant here.
GuideSeems clean and well-kept. Staff in the office are friendly and helpful.
ScoutWe showed up early (10:50 am) and asked to check in prior to the 12 pm check-in time. The owner was working and she told us we could not. I walked over and saw that our site was empty, so my wife asked the owner again if we could check in early as there was nobody there and we had two 16-mo babies who were ready to get out of the car. She then kicked us off the property. This was on a festival weekend with nowhere else to stay, and I told her that. The owner did not care and we had to drive 2 ours home.
TravelerPros: We have the p lube nearly to ourselves, thus it was very similar to dispersed camping. Nice little campground with two small ponds (One for fishing, the other for swimming). Nothing very remarkable, though.
Cons: As others have mentioned, if you want flush toilets and pay showers, you have to either stay at the more crowded, larger loop or walk across the highway to get to those amenities.
TravelerIt was everything we were looking for, right on the river, quiet and clean, the section we stayed in was all tent camping so we weren’t sandwiched in between a bunch of RVs blocking the view. There was no lights, generators or loud music. Alcohol wasn’t permitted so that really cuts down on a lot of unnecessary nonsense. Pets are permitted and our dog loved it. It was very pleasant and relaxing. Can’t wait to go back.
Cabin accommodations near Lyndonville, Vermont offer year-round access to the Northeast Kingdom's forests and waterways. Situated at elevations ranging from 700 to 1,500 feet, the region experiences distinct seasons with summer temperatures averaging 75-80°F and winter lows frequently dropping below 0°F. Winter cabin camping requires advance planning as many facilities operate seasonally with limited winter road maintenance.
Paddling activities: Brighton State Park provides excellent water recreation on Spectacle Pond. "The lake is clear and beautiful. The loons are amazing," notes a visitor who appreciates the wildlife viewing opportunities at Brighton State Park Campground.
Mountain biking access: Cabin locations provide convenient bases for exploring the Kingdom Trails network. "Great campground with VERY clean restrooms. Campsites are private and the place is often not busy affording extra privacy," shares a mountain biker who stays at Brighton State Park while riding nearby trails.
Winter exploration: Some cabins remain open during colder months for snow activities. "We stayed in the Poplar lean-to, which was very private, with a short trail leading down to the lake. Some of the other sites are right on the water, which would have been nice too," reports a September visitor to Brighton State Park who observed the beginning of foliage season.
Private waterfront sites: Ricker Pond offers secluded cabins and lean-tos with pond access. "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," explains a regular visitor to Ricker Pond State Park Campground, emphasizing the need to reserve well in advance.
Clean facilities: Many campers comment on well-maintained bathhouses. "The campsite itself is beautiful. Maintenance on campground is very well attended and kept very clean all over. Cleanest showers I've seen at any campsite so far," states a Brighton State Park visitor.
Rural location: Maidstone State Park offers remote cabin experiences. "I've found my place of peace and tranquility and it's where I'd like to reside eventually. The lake had to be the most pure and pristine lake in Vermont," shares a camper at Maidstone State Park, highlighting the undeveloped setting that attracts repeat visitors.
Reservation requirements: Most cabin sites require booking months in advance, especially for summer weekends. "I missed my spring trip this year though. A friend was camping and invited me to join them. We had a site on the B loop, I have only camped on the A loop," explains a Maidstone State Park visitor about the different camping areas.
Cell service limitations: Many Northeast Kingdom cabins have no cellular coverage. "There is absolutely no cell service for miles, so plan accordingly," advises a visitor to Ricker Pond about communication constraints in the region.
Service animal policies: Campground rules vary regarding pets and service animals. "Allows dogs and cats. Dirt road to campground, friendly staff," notes a Maidstone visitor about that park's pet-friendly status, but rules differ between locations.
Road conditions: Access to remote cabins often requires travel on unpaved roads. "The access road into the park is a well-maintained dirt road and about 5 miles long. Look for the bears, and other cutouts creatures in the clearings on the way in," explains a Maidstone State Park visitor about White Caps Campground.
Bathhouse proximity: Choose cabin sites near facilities when camping with children. "Sites close together, lots of RVs, not cheap. Cheaper than a hotel for kingdom trails though and right next to lake Willoughby," notes a visitor to White Caps about considering cost versus convenience factors.
Waterfront activities: Cabins near swimming areas provide built-in entertainment. "Cute quiet campground right next to the river. Clean facilities," shares a visitor to Littleton / Franconia Notch KOA Holiday about the riverside setting, which offers water play opportunities.
Pool options: Some private campgrounds feature swimming pools for children. "If you are looking to be secluded it's not for you, however, it is centrally located to attractions in the white mountains and Franconia," explains a KOA visitor about balancing location advantages with site privacy.
Site dimensions: Many cabin areas have limited space for additional vehicles. "Our stay at Moose River Campground was so nice and peaceful. Our site was pristine and backed by the river. Extremely clean and well kept Campground," shares a visitor to Moose River Campground.
Winter accessibility: Check road conditions before booking cabins during snowy months. "This campground is remote and it's about 45 min. to the nearest town. There is no cell service, even with a booster," cautions a Maidstone visitor about the isolation factors that affect travel planning.
Utility hookups: Some cabin areas provide electricity for supplemental heating. "Sites are small but with the view it's worth it. Little camp store & deli. Beach right across the road," notes a White Caps camper about weighing space limitations against location benefits.
