    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Several cabin options provide overnight accommodations near Winooski, Vermont throughout the Lake Champlain region. North Beach Campground in Burlington offers cabin rentals with convenient access to both the lake and city amenities. Cabins at Grand Isle State Park Campground include basic furnishings with picnic tables outside and access to shared bathhouse facilities. "The cabins felt spacious, and the sites were level with good water pressure," noted one visitor about their North Beach accommodations. Smugglers Notch State Park Campground provides more secluded cabin options nestled in the mountains with rustic charm and outdoor fire rings.

    Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Most facilities require reservations well in advance, particularly during peak summer months from May through October when tourism increases around Lake Champlain. Apple Island Resort and Camp Skyland in South Hero accommodate cabin guests with varying levels of amenities, from basic shelters to more equipped options with electricity and heating. Pet policies differ significantly between locations—North Beach and Grand Isle allow pets at their cabin sites, while Camp Skyland prohibits animals. Seasonal availability varies, with some properties like Shelburne Camping Area offering year-round cabin rentals while others close after mid-October.

    Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities range from simple fire rings with grates to cabins with small refrigerators and microwave ovens, though full kitchens are uncommon. Bath facilities at locations like Burton Island State Park and Little River State Park include shower buildings separate from the cabins. Firewood is available for purchase at most properties, including North Beach Campground and Smugglers Notch, though one visitor cautioned that North Beach's firewood "was not seasoned and impossible to use." On-site camp stores at several locations provide basic supplies, though selection is typically limited to essentials.

      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.

      Grand Isle State Park Campground

      Perfectly Fine Campground

      The Lake Champlain Islands are amazing, and camping at Grand Isle State Park also makes them pretty affordable.  I camped here in October, so I chose to stay in one of the small camping cabins (Camels Hump). It had electricity, but no indoor plumbing, and was very cozy!

      This is the most popular campground in the Vermont State Park system, and I think it's because of the location, as aside from camping, there isn't a whole lot to do - no hiking trails to speak of and a small, rocky beach that isn't ideal for swimming. 

      The cabin was an affordable way to explore the Islands, and for that I would absolutely stay here again!

      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!

      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.

      Meadowbrook Campground

      Average campground great location

      We stayed at Meadowbrook over Memorial Day weekend in 2024. It's an average campground, but has a really good location between Lake Placid and Saranac Lake. 

      Our site had the standard DEC picnic table and fire pit. There are showers (the hot water was broken the day we were there, but the attendant said we could go to nearby campgrounds to use theirs), toilets, and water spigots. I had decent Verizon signal. 

      The sites were clean, but the fire pit was showing its age. We stayed in site 37, which was a bit more private and surrounded by trees. The sites in the two loops closest to Rte 86 (#1-13, 27-34, and 51-62) were much closer together, and some didn't have trees between sites. Even at our more "isolated" site, we could still see our neighbors. 

      The bathroom was actually one of the nicest I've seen in a DEC campsite; it looked like it had recently been rebuilt. 

      There are positives and negatives about the location. On the plus side, there's ice cream and places to eat within walking distance. We also forgot lunch for our hike the next day and were able to walk to a convenience store to grab supplies. And if you're doing things in Lake Placid and Saranac, the location is tough to beat. On the minus side, there's a bit of road noise and some of the campsites looked like they had great views of a parking lot.

    Guide to Winooski

    Cabins near Winooski, Vermont range from rustic to modern across the Lake Champlain basin. Waterbury, located 21 miles east, serves as a gateway to cabin accommodations in the Green Mountains with elevations reaching 4,000 feet. Weather conditions vary considerably from summer highs averaging 80°F to winter lows regularly reaching 10°F, affecting cabin amenities and seasonal availability.

    What to do

    Water activities on Lake Champlain: North Beach Campground offers direct lake access for swimming, paddleboarding and kayaking. "Burlington, VT is one of my favorite towns on the east coast. Camping at North Beach is a great experience if you want quick access to the water, and dot not mind the close proximity of others," notes Tarah W. The campground's beach features lifeguards during summer months.

    Island exploration by boat: Paddle to Burton Island State Park Campground for a car-free camping experience. "There's a camping bistro where you can buy pancakes, coffee, local beer, and fine wines," shares Tara S. The 2.5-mile-long island requires a ferry or personal watercraft to reach, with ferry costs at $8 per person.

    Mountain biking trails: Several cabin locations provide access to extensive trail networks. "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," suggests Mackenzie B. about local riding options. Trail difficulty ranges from beginner-friendly rail trails to technical mountain routes.

    Historic site hiking: Some cabin areas feature abandoned settlements and ruins. Little River State Park contains numerous historical foundations along its trail system. One visitor observed that "There are lots of old foundations hidden on the trails that are fun to discover." These remnants date from early Vermont settlements of the 1800s.

    What campers like

    Cabin proximity to Burlington: Shelburne Camping Area provides convenient cabin options just 7 miles south of Burlington. "The grounds were landscaped well, and they were changing flower beds over to mums for fall during our stay," notes one camper. The campground maintains year-round operations with both basic and full-service cabin rentals.

    Waterfront cabin views: Lakeside cabin locations offer premium sunset viewing. "The views of lake Champlain are amazing. Ex check in and plenty of amenities," shares Ronald C. about Apple Island Resort. Their cabins include terraced layouts to maximize lake visibility.

    Privacy between sites: Campers appreciate the spacing at many cabin locations. "The campground is laid out in a very attractive way rather than typical straight rows. Lots of walking paths," reports Susan & Kevin W. Most cabins include defined outdoor spaces with fire rings and picnic tables.

    Access to local food producers: Cabin locations throughout the region provide proximity to Vermont's agricultural offerings. One visitor recommends "Definitely recommend going to Burlington which has nice shopping and restaurants. Grand Isle State Park is nearby and has some hiking trails and there is a great biking trail nearby." Farm stands and markets operate seasonally within 5-10 miles of most cabin areas.

    What you should know

    Reservation requirements: Summer cabin bookings require significant advance planning. "Waterfront sites book very quickly (like 11 months in advance)," warns a Burton Island visitor. Holiday weekends and July-August periods typically fill completely by early spring.

    Bathroom facilities vary widely: Some cabins include private bathrooms while others rely on communal facilities. "The bathrooms in 'B' were just redone," reports a visitor to Little River State Park Campground. Most shower buildings require quarters (50 cents for 5 minutes common) and may close seasonally.

    Accessibility considerations: Terrain affects cabin access throughout the region. "We were able to convince the staff that we could take a standard tent site, which was more than big enough," explains one camper about navigating site classifications. Cabin approaches may include gravel paths, stairs, or inclines that aren't documented in listings.

    Cooking setups: Most cabins provide basic or minimal cooking facilities. "Due to COVID, mostly call ahead/pick-up or drive thru for many things...incl. delicious coffee in town at Village Wine & Coffee and AWESOME cider donuts at Shelburne Orchards!" notes a camper regarding local food options. Visitors should plan meals considering limited cabin kitchen capabilities.

    Tips for camping with families

    Beach quality assessment: Evaluate swimming areas carefully when booking family cabin stays. "The beach is nice even though rocky, the lean to sites are a great way to help keep things dry, and there were great accessible all-gender bathrooms," reports Season D. about Grand Isle State Park Campground. Rocky shorelines may require water shoes for comfortable swimming.

    Playground availability: Some cabin areas include dedicated play equipment. "The small playground was great, and the small boat launch and beach kept us in the water," shares a visitor to Little River State Park. Not all locations maintain playground equipment, particularly during off-season periods.

    Nature programming for kids: Several parks offer organized children's activities. "It was a quiet, family friendly campground with a cute little beach and nature center with youth programs," notes Jessica G. These programs typically operate on weekends during peak season (June-August).

    Island exploration safety: For cabins on islands, prepare children for boat travel requirements. "No cars on the island. You have to paddle yourself out or take the VT State Park passenger ferry from St. Albans," explains a Burton Island visitor. Life jackets are required for children on ferries and watercraft.

    Tips from RVers

    Hookup limitations: Smugglers Notch State Park Campground offers cabin alternatives when RV hookups aren't available. "No power hookups and no water hookup at site," notes Craig G. about regional campground utilities. Many Vermont cabins provide electricity even when RV sites don't.

    Site leveling challenges: RVers switching to cabin stays should note terrain variations. "We got an error on our control panel that said stop! Power source is not correct!" warns one RVer encountering electrical issues. Cabin locations typically provide more stable power connections than RV sites.

    Winter accessibility: Some cabin properties maintain winter operations when RV areas close. "Open year round!" explains Alyssa S. about Shelburne Camping Area. Winter cabin rentals may require 4WD vehicles during snow periods, with plowing services varying by location.

    Parking considerations: Camp Skyland and other locations have specific parking protocols for cabin guests. "Great tent / RV / cabin site on an island in Lake Champlain. Tent area is a large field with cabins on the rock bluffs and RV row along the road," explains Patrick. Cabin parking may be separated from the actual cabin location by walking distances.
