2 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several campgrounds near North Concord, Vermont provide furnished cabin rentals with varying amenities and comfort levels. Maidstone State Park offers cabins with basic furnishings and electrical outlets, operating from Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend. Brighton State Park Campground features pet-friendly cabins with picnic tables and fire rings, while Moose River Campground in Saint Johnsbury provides cabin accommodations with access to showers and drinking water. "There is a well maintained privy outside the cabin and toilet paper was available. The cabin has a sleeping loft with a few foam mattresses but the stairs are quite steep, too steep for a four legged doggo to make it up and down," notes one visitor to a nearby cabin. Most cabins include electricity, though heating options vary from wood stoves to electric heaters depending on the property.
Rustic cabins and more deluxe options are available throughout the region, with seasonal availability typically running from May through mid-October. KOA cabin camping can be found at Littleton/Franconia Notch KOA Holiday and Twin Mountain-Mt. Washington KOA, both offering heated cabins with standard amenities. Pet policies vary by location, with some properties like Nulhegan Confluence Hut specifically noting they are pet-friendly. According to a Ricker Pond State Park visitor, "My favorite cabin site is set back from the water, is private, and fills up fast for the season. There is an electrical outlet in the basic cabins." Advance reservations are strongly recommended, especially for summer weekends and fall foliage season when occupancy rates are highest. Some remote cabins in the area require boat access or short hikes from parking areas.
Most cabin rentals provide beds with mattresses but require guests to bring their own bedding, pillows, and towels. Kitchen facilities range from basic propane stoves to fully equipped kitchenettes with refrigerators, depending on the cabin category. Cooking utensils, pots, and pans are sometimes provided but vary widely between properties. Umbagog Lake State Park includes cabins with access to "immaculate campground bathrooms" according to one reviewer, plus laundry facilities and a small store at the office. Visitors should check specific cabin listings for amenities like running water, as some more remote forest cabins may have only composting toilets and require water treatment from nearby sources. Firewood is typically available for purchase at campground offices or nearby general stores.

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.
TravelerLarge sites, clean pit toilets, in a beautiful, wooded campground adjacent to the Swift River.
Camp host, who’s been there for many years, keeps things clean, organized, and quiet.
Most sites can handle multiple big tents. Plenty of toilet houses and dumpsters available.
The great boulder loop trail is right there. It’s a very short walk to the trail head and it has gorgeous views of the swift river valley with much lower crowds than the major peaks in the whites.
Grab a drink and your chairs and take a short walk on one of the paths to the swift river and hang out a while.
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.

Hiking near Kingdom Trails: Mountain Lake Camping Resort offers convenient access to nearby hiking trails. "There is a town forest just a few miles away that has some nice hiking trails. The campground is pretty small so we were happy to find places to hike with our dog," notes a visitor to Moose River Campground.
Paddling on Spectacle Pond: The calm waters at Brighton State Park are ideal for beginners. "We stayed in the Poplar lean-to, which was very private, with a short trail leading down to the lake. Great trails right in the park, including the Shore Trail and the Boreal Forest loop," shares a reviewer at Brighton State Park Campground.
Wildlife observation: Look for moose and loons near Maidstone. "The lake is clear and beautiful. The loons are amazing. The fellow who checked us in was super helpful and told us to decide if we wanted to stay another night before paying the next day," reports a camper at Maidstone State Park.
Remote location for stargazing: The distance from urban areas creates exceptional dark skies. "We found my place of peace and tranquility and it's where I'd like to reside eventually, our stay here was to short for the beauty we found at the park," writes a visitor to Maidstone State Park.
River access: Several campgrounds offer streamside sites. "Nice sites. Friendly staff, Mary is AWESOME! Had site 9 two years in a row. Love it. Right on the river. Clean bathrooms. Not a great place for kids...no pool, arcade, etc.....but perfect for adults," notes a reviewer at Moose River Campground.
Fall foliage viewing: September and October offer spectacular color. "We visited just as the foliage season was getting underway, end of September is peak this year," shares a Brighton State Park visitor about their cabin camping experience.
Limited connectivity: Cell service is sparse throughout the region. "No cell service, even with a booster. The lake is wonderful," reports a camper at Maidstone State Park. Pack paper maps and download content before arrival.
Variable bathroom facilities: Quality differs between campgrounds and loops. "The bath house buildings in the other two loops are older and offer three toilets and a single coin operated shower inside the bathroom. The price is quite non-specific," explains a Brighton State Park visitor.
Distance from amenities: Many campgrounds are remote. "Very remote. Nearest town about 45 minutes away. Beautiful site- Shadblow. No cell service. Loved it... pretty far away though," notes a Maidstone visitor regarding their cabin stay.
Water activities: Many campgrounds have family-friendly swimming areas. "If you're looking for a safe, family friendly, quiet campground this is it. Pool with water slides for kids, Kayaks, paddle boats, canoes, playground with slides and a pirate ship," recommends a visitor to Mountain Lake Camping Resort.
Supervised recreation: Campgrounds often provide structured activities. "It's been a few years since I went camping and wanted to be comfortable and enjoy the outdoors. It is perfect for family visits with the parks, heated pool, volleyball and more. It even has daily events or group get together," writes a visitor to Twin Mountain-Mt. Washington KOA.
Pet-friendly options: Many cabins accommodate four-legged family members. "We enjoyed our stay here and our dog loved the dog park! We would highly recommend this campground," notes a Twin Mountain KOA visitor.
Site selection for privacy: Request sites away from common areas. "The sites are very close on one side as each RV pulls in the opposite direction; however, the sites are so long that if you pull up far enough you are not looking at your neighbor," explains a visitor to Littleton/Franconia Notch KOA Holiday.
Hookup variations: Not all sites offer full connections. "There are only a few sites with sewer hookup. However, the dumping station is conveniently located, so if you have a small tank, daily trips are not a problem," notes another Littleton KOA visitor.
Access considerations: Some campgrounds have navigation challenges. "Very tight sites if you are not in the 100 section. Manager and employees were awesome. Lots of shade and close to everything," advises a Twin Mountain-Mt. Washington KOA camper.
