1 campground with availability next weekend
Several cabin campgrounds operate within an hour's drive of Greenwich, Connecticut, with varying levels of amenities and surroundings. Croton Point Park offers basic cabin rentals with electricity and refrigerators on a peninsula along the Hudson River. The cabins at Sebago Cabin Camp in Harriman State Park provide rustic accommodations with cots, electricity, and refrigerators but no plumbing or heat. A visitor commented that "these cabins are VERY rustic, four walls, a cot, and a fridge. You still feel like you are 'roughing it' but with the convenience of a fridge." The Stephen & Betsy Corman AMC Harriman Outdoor Center provides more structured cabin accommodations with access to dining facilities and organized activities.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. The cabins at Sebago are described as having "a full fridge and double hot plate" with outside fire pits and grills. Most locations require advance reservations, particularly during summer months from May through September. The Round Pond Recreation Area at West Point offers cabins specifically for military veterans and active service members. Pet policies vary by location, with some cabins allowing dogs while others prohibit pets entirely. One camper wrote that Round Pond "has become a home away from home for us and a chance to connect with other Vets."
Most cabin facilities require visitors to bring their own bedding, towels, and cooking utensils. Basic furniture is typically provided, including cots or bunk beds. Cooking facilities range from outdoor fire pits and grills to indoor hot plates, with refrigerators available in most locations. Some campgrounds offer meal plans for an additional fee, particularly at the AMC Harriman Outdoor Center where campers note the "stellar chef" provides quality meals. On-site stores exist at select locations, but guests should plan to bring most supplies. Cell phone service can be limited or non-existent at some cabin sites, particularly at Sebago where one visitor mentioned "absolutely zero phone service which was AMAZING."

"Camping gets you away from the bustle. It is a little less than a half mile walk from the ferry dock and located behind the dunes which offer some protection. Take a quick walk down to the beach."
TravelerThe campsites were big had no trouble finding it. One of the ranges escorted us to the site. The staff was very nice. The bathrooms were immaculate. I saw it being cleaned twice in 24 hours. It was a little partying going on till about 1 AM, but it wasn’t too bothersome.
ScoutThe main issue with the sites was that they were primitive -- no water. The campsites were basically just wooden platforms, with a picnic table and fire pit. There were also a lot of bugs, though this may be due to the rain. The location itself was fairly pretty and there were a number of hiking trails of not-overly-serious difficulty. The particular site we picked left is a little farther from our car than we would have liked, but for other sites you can bring your car closer.
TravelerTo start, Andrew was phenomenal. I arrived at 6:40 PM and he was able to hook us up with the last campground and was so patient and friendly when answering our questions. Overall staff was great, I saw someone picking up trash after campers checked out. Bathrooms are clean, 1 mile walk from campgrounds to beach area. Very spider and tick heavy if you don’t stay on the walking trail. Campers were very respectful and friendly, overall an amazing first time camping trip. Paid about $32 for a night. Drinking water on site.
TravelerCampground: fairly secluded, forested, breezy with some wildlife. Small camp store. Ingress/Egress: Tight approach with multiple switchbacks and steep grades - if you’re coming in a towable rig over 36’ you might want to take a solo look first. Sites are oddly arranged and there aren’t any FHU sites. Cell: Verizon in spot C9 had 1-bar; we used Starlink for connectivity. Laundry: 3 washers & 3 dryers: $2.50 each. Dump Station: was close by (across the street) but we didn’t need it for our 3 day stay. Bathhouse: across the street, clean and we used it almost exclusively. Noise: Quiet with some small arms fire, but barely noticeable from our site. Site C9: can be viewed from Google street view site is north of the lake in the horseshoe road- some cabins are viewable as well. Site is gravel with composite picnic table, post metal grill and truck rim fire ring. Water pressure- fluctuated 30psi-50psi: hunted constantly. Cabins: available and in good order. They appear to be older, but still functional- mini log cabins $65/night (primitive-no bathroom)
RangerThis is an old campground, but is quite quaint. Reminds me of lake camping that I grew up with. Hosts are very nice and helpful. This is more of a seasonal camping site. Do not follow your GPS directions. Get directions from the campground staff.
GuideNo frills but beautiful. Bath houses are absolutely spotless. Fire pits, electric and water hook ups only. Will return! Staff is friendly and helpful. Military families should check it out!
ScoutCroton Point Campground is a modest little campground, located along the Hudson River within Croton Point Park in NY. In addition to camping, the park itself offers many of its own attractions, including swimming, hiking, kayaking, cabin rentals, and a host of other family-oriented activities just along the Hudson.
The park, which is honestly probably the largest attraction here, is located just an hour and a half outside of the city. This proximity is both its perk and its downfall, as the park itself, but particularly the campground, has become laden with all sorts of inexplicable and burdensome rules, endless guidelines, and restrictions only a New York State-run bureaucracy could ever make sense of, let alone hope to justify.
This includes all manner of restrictions on how you can camp, where you can camp, what equipment can be used, and use in relation to what particular site you may have been lucky enough to reserve. Much of this you can understand while imagining what may have taken place here to bring them to such measures, but it doesn't make it any easier to contend with.
In terms of the actual camping conditions Both the tenting section and RV sites are each very clustered together, and quite crowded, with regular patrols🚓(actual patrols) being made day and night, by both the Park Rangers and what appears to be general park staff members, all looking to see if you or your family might be doing something that they might consider outside of the guidelines or not in compliance with the many restrictions.
This is not to say you can't possibly have a good time here. It just might mean being a bit more diligent toward reviewing the potential legitimacy of your normal camping routine to ensure it meets with many restrictions and guidelines imposed, while also making yourself comfortable with some fairly regular surveillance during your stay here. These all being things we hoped to get away from while camping ourselves It just turned out to be a bit much for our particular liking.
ScoutThis was a great campsite nestled in the foothills of Northern NJ on the NY border. Small, clean with great views and great location for hiking , cruising etc. Bring your tent or use the existing glamping tents. Headed back for a fall weekend in the "dome" which has incredible views. Try it you won't be sorry.
ScoutMy wife and I love this campground. It is right at the entrance to wine country on Long Island and has a beach on the Long Island Sound. (A little rocky on the north shore)
Cabin camping near Greenwich, Connecticut offers multiple options within an hour's drive. The area sits at the junction of Long Island Sound and features varying terrain from coastal parks to highland forests at elevations reaching 1,000 feet. Winter temperatures typically range from 20-40°F while summer temperatures average 70-85°F with moderate humidity levels, affecting cabin camping comfort and equipment needs.
Hiking at Harriman State Park: Access multiple trail systems near the cabins at Sebago Cabin Camp. Hikers can explore nearby Lake Welch. One visitor noted, "Sebago has a huge lake and great beach area. It was perfect for lounging and swimming in during a hot summer day."
Beach activities: Visit Wildwood State Park for beach access while cabin camping. "It is right at the entrance to wine country on Long Island and has a beach on the Long Island Sound. (A little rocky on the north shore)," explains one camper. The park offers sunset viewing opportunities over the water.
Community events: Seasonal activities occur regularly at multiple parks. At Sebago Cabin Camp, "They do big bon fire on Saturday very kid friendly... they also have movie nights." Weekends often feature organized activities for families staying in cabins.
Peaceful environment: Kettletown State Park cabins provide a quiet retreat. One camper shared, "Stayed in a cabin on the lower loop. Went hiking all day. Kinda close together sites, but the trails make up for it." The park maintains trails accessible directly from cabin areas.
Rustic amenities: Many appreciate the basic accommodations that maintain a camping feel. At Sebago, "These cabins are VERY rustic, four walls, a cot, and a fridge...with the convenience of a fridge. Absolutely zero phone service (for T-Mobile) which was AMAZING." Most cabins offer limited connectivity.
Military facilities: Round Pond Recreation Area provides dedicated accommodations for service members. A veteran mentioned, "We've been coming here for at least 13 years. We love that its a place specifically for Vets and active Military. everyone is amazingly respectful of each other."
Varying privacy levels: Campground layouts affect the cabin experience. At Croton Point Park, "The FHU sites were back-to-back and although there were trees separating the sites, they were close together." Consider site maps before booking.
Reservation processes: Most parks require advance booking, especially during summer months. Some parks have specific procedures: "The reservation process is a bit wonky. You need to call (no online reservations) and then wait for an e-mail, but the e-mail does not tell you your assigned site."
Weather considerations: Connecticut and surrounding areas experience seasonal changes affecting cabin stays. During summer, bring bug spray as one visitor warned, "We were almost eaten alive by mosquitoes when we ventured into the woods."
Kid-friendly spaces: Kettletown State Park cabins provide safe environments for children. A camper noted, "The reason why I said that place is perfect kids? It has a huge land of campsite that the kids can run around until their energy out for the night!"
Pack for rustic conditions: Most cabins require bringing your own supplies. At The Stephen & Betsy Corman AMC Harriman Outdoor Center, "The camp is run by AMC, you don't have to be a member to use the facillity but you get better rates. They offer cabins and campsites...They offer a meal plan that you can get at their dinning hall and I HIGHLY recommend that option."
Activity planning: Schedule cabin stays around park programs. "This campsite is accessible by public transportation. There is a shuttle run by the campsite to and from Tuxedo Park Train Station (reservations on shuttle required)," making it convenient for families without vehicles.
Equipment limitations: Most cabin areas have restrictions on additional equipment. For parks with mixed RV and cabin areas, RVers note parking limitations: "We had to write down our credit card number on a slip of paper before we were given a key that opened the gate to the campground."
Accessibility information: Access roads vary between parks. At Wildwood State Park, visitors found it "Easy to navigate our 38 ft. RV. Easy to dump and fill." This matters for those bringing equipment to cabin sites.
