Best Cabin Camping near Kent, CT
Several cabin options surround Kent, Connecticut, including Lake Waramaug State Park Campground and Housatonic Meadows State Park Campground. Most cabins provide basic furnishings such as beds, tables, and chairs, with varying levels of electricity access and heating options. Copake Falls Area at Taconic State Park offers cabins with electricity and nearby water access. A recent review noted that "we stayed at site 85 in Sunny Crest and liked having some privacy. The sites nearby had some trees providing space between each site." Bathroom facilities range from primitive outhouses to full shower buildings depending on the specific property.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Lone Oak Camp Sites provides family-friendly cabin rentals with more amenities than state park options, while Cozy Hills Campground features cabins that accommodate different group sizes. Most properties require advance reservations, particularly during summer months from May through September. One camper shared: "We threatened a Jellystone stop for years, and finally made it happen. Great place for kids and staff runs a great park." Pet policies vary by location, with some parks prohibiting pets entirely and others allowing them with additional fees.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary widely - some provide only outdoor fire rings with cooking grates while others include microwaves, mini-refrigerators, and basic cookware. Many campgrounds maintain on-site stores selling firewood, ice, and limited groceries, though larger food supplies require trips to nearby towns. Cooking utensils, cleaning supplies, and food storage containers are rarely provided. Hemlock Hill Camp Resort and Black Rock State Park both offer cabin rentals with nearby camp stores for essential supplies.
