Best Cabin Camping near Fairplay, MD
Cabins near Fairplay, Maryland range from rustic to modern with varying amenities. Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park in Williamsport offers cabin rentals with electricity and indoor plumbing, while Harpers Ferry Civil War Battlefields KOA provides deluxe cabins with queen beds, bunk beds, microwaves, and refrigerators. Olive Green Cabin offers a more primitive experience in a historic log cabin from the 1860s with a wood-burning stove but no electricity or running water. "The cabin was TINY. Essentially four beds (two bunks) and some space between them to move around. Essentially a shed with bunkbeds in it," noted one visitor about Brunswick Family Campground's accommodations.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Cunningham Falls State Park features cabins in both the Houck and Manor areas, with most open from April through October. KOA properties in Harpers Ferry and Hagerstown maintain cabin rentals year-round with full amenities. Pet policies vary significantly between locations—Gambrill State Park allows pets in Cabin 18 while other sites restrict animals entirely. According to one visitor at Gettysburg Battlefield KOA, "We stayed for 10 days in a rustic cabin. Campground is well organized and clean. Tons of activities and even a hiking path. Pet friendly with small dog park."
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Basic cabins typically provide fire rings, picnic tables, and sometimes lantern hooks, while deluxe options may include kitchenettes with refrigerators and microwaves. Olive Green Cabin is stocked with "various cookware (including cast iron), bed frames, tables, chairs, books and games," though visitors should prepare for primitive conditions. Camp stores at Jellystone Park and KOA locations sell firewood, basic groceries, and camping supplies. Bathhouses with showers are available at most locations, though proximity to cabins varies. Campers staying at more remote cabins should bring adequate lighting, as one reviewer noted about Olive Green: "You'll need to bring plenty of flashlights and lanterns as well as water."
