What size and how many conductors do I need for a 300ft run for (2) 120v 20amp branch circuit to a cabin from a 200 main. The main is a camper pod with a 20 and 30 amp outlets in it now. I want to run 120v to a cabin 300ft away.

What is your experience level?
Have you done any electrical work before?

Your questions seem like you are pretty green.

My experience is very good. I've done various wiring projects from recrooms to buried cable. But this is distance and the calculations I came up with seem extreme. I bought this cabin six months ago knowingly the nearest electrical is about 300ft away. My goal is to get enough power there to run lights and a small appliance or two.
