About this campground
Nestled along the pristine shores of Lake Sebago in the heart of Harriman State Park, Sebago Cabin Camp offers a perfect blend of rustic charm and outdoor adventure. This beloved retreat features 38 cozy cabins and two spacious cottages, creating an intimate lakeside community where families and friends gather to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with nature. Whether you're casting a line at dawn, paddling across the glassy lake surface, or exploring miles of scenic hiking trails, every day brings new discoveries in this 46,000-acre wilderness playground.
Sebago Cabin Camp is predominantly a rustic cabin campground with additional cottages available. The facilities cater to families and groups, offering a mix of basic amenities and access to outdoor recreational activities.
Historical SignificanceWhile the campground's story may be unrecorded in history books, generations of families have created their own rich tapestry of memories here, making Sebago Cabin Camp a living testament to the timeless appeal of simple pleasures and natural beauty.
Weather and SeasonsEach season paints Sebago Cabin Camp in dramatically different colors. Summer arrives with warm, sun-drenched days perfect for lake activities—though the heat can be intense, making cabin fans your best friend for comfortable evening sleep. As autumn approaches, the surrounding forests explode in a spectacular display of reds, oranges, and golds, with crisp air ideal for hiking. Winter transforms the landscape into a snow-covered wonderland, where freezing rain and snowfall create a magical, if chilly, atmosphere that draws hardy souls seeking solitude. Spring brings renewal, with moderate temperatures and blooming wildflowers signaling the return of peak camping season.
ElevationThe gentle topography of the lakeside setting creates an accessible outdoor experience, where the landscape unfolds in rolling contours rather than dramatic elevation changes, making it perfect for campers of all ages and abilities.
Natural Features and SceneryLake Sebago serves as the jewel in the crown of this natural paradise, its waters reflecting the surrounding canopy of oak, maple, and pine forests. From your cabin porch, watch morning mist dance across the lake's surface while birds announce the dawn. The gently rolling hills that frame the horizon create postcard-perfect vistas, especially during sunset when the sky transforms into a canvas of purple and gold. This harmonious blend of water and woodland creates an ever-changing tableau that captivates photographers, nature lovers, and anyone seeking respite from urban life.
Geological RegionSebago Cabin Camp claims its place within the magnificent expanse of Harriman State Park, where the diverse terrain of Rockland and Orange Counties converges. This geological crossroads has sculpted a landscape of surprising variety—from the serene waters of Lake Sebago to the rugged outcroppings and hidden valleys that make every hike an exploration. The park's 46,000 acres represent one of the largest wilderness preserves in the New York metropolitan area, offering a remarkable escape just an hour from the city's hustle and bustle.
