4 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Cabin camping near Highland, Maryland ranges from rustic log structures to fully furnished units with modern amenities. Cabin campgrounds near Highland span primitive shelters without electricity to deluxe units with full kitchenettes, private bathrooms, and climate control. Cherry Hill Park offers cabins with electricity, heating, and air conditioning, while Patapsco Valley State Park-Hilton Area provides more basic cabin accommodations without running water. Most cabins include beds with waterproof mattresses, closets, and screened windows. Little Bennett Campground features cabin rentals with picnic tables and fire rings for outdoor cooking and gathering. "The cabins had a queen bed, 2 bunks, microwave and refrigerator and a small bathroom. That was a tight space but a bathroom none the less," noted one visitor about the deluxe cabins at Harpers Ferry KOA.
Rustic cabins like those at Olive Green Cabin provide a more primitive experience without electricity or running water. "Perfect rustic cabin in the woods. It gives the illusion of being secluded even though the road is just on the other side of some trees," according to one camper. Pet policies vary by location - Cherry Hill Park and Washington DC Capitol KOA welcome pets in their cabin accommodations, while some areas like Deer Spring Loop at Cunningham Falls State Park prohibit pets. Reservations are essential, particularly during summer months when cabins book quickly. Most campgrounds require advance deposits, with cancellation policies varying from 24 hours to 14 days before arrival.

Camp stores at larger facilities like Cherry Hill Park and Ramblin' Pines stock essential supplies, firewood, and basic groceries. Visitors staying at more remote cabin campgrounds near Highland should bring all necessary provisions, as well as lighting solutions like lanterns or flashlights for cabins without electricity.

GuideGreat campsite. Fire pit, picnic table, swimming pool ( not open), miniature golf course, laundromat, bathrooms, showers, dump station, gathering areas for groups, playground, and even a horse area and stalls for horses. Dog friendly. Staff was very helpful and curious.
GuideWhere we were camping had blown up their dump station. Artillery Ridge helped us out. $10. to dump. If we come to camp in Gettysburg, it will be hear.
GuideYou just can't beat a pennsylvania park. This one is not an exception. Nice clean restroom, plenty of room. Now, what cost a star. Yes, it rained like hell. When we broke camp and go dump. The dump station was overflowing with sewer. Go to the guard shack to tell them, and find another site. None there. Can I go to an unused full hookup to dump? No! I would have to pay for the site. Two hours later, we found a place to dump for $10.
ScoutWe stayed in site #133 with our 34'10" travel trailer/toy hauler. Overall, we really like the site. It's spacious, fairly level, heavily wooded, and feels surprisingly private. There's plenty of room around the camper, and although there are other campsites and cabins nearby, the trees provide a lot of separation. We had a nice large area for our chairs, fire pit, picnic table, and dogs. The biggest thing to know about #133 is the approach. We were instructed to pass the site, go around the loop, and then make a left turn into it. With our nearly 35' trailer, that would have required an extremely tight, almost 90-degree turn between the trees, and we did not feel we could safely make it. There is actually visible damage on one of the trees at the entrance, so it appears others may have had difficulty with the turn as well. Instead, we approached from the opposite direction and positioned the camper with our doors facing the main campsite area. That put the water and electric hookups on the opposite side, but our hoses and cord were long enough to run underneath the camper and reach without a problem. Once we figured that out, the site worked very well for us. I initially thought we probably wouldn't choose #133 again because of the awkward setup, but after spending the weekend here, I would. Now that we know how to approach and position our trailer, it really is a nice site. If you're bringing a longer travel trailer, just be prepared to do a little maneuvering and make sure your water hose and electrical cord have enough length if you decide to orient your camper the way we did.
ScoutSimple and friendly check in process. Clean and well-maintained site.
ScoutThis is are first camping adventure in are new travel trailer. Camp ground is quiet and well maintained. Bath rooms and shower facilities are fantastic.
GuidePrimitive feel with full hookups. I have a 22' trailer, and it fits fine. I hope you like trains. Plenty of them go by.
GuideThis is a great camping spot. The sites aren’t too close together and the hosts are very friendly. The only reason I gave it four stars is because we are near a highway so you can hear cars throughout the night. But the crickets make up for it by being as loud as possible. With the fees, it cost $25 for a non-electric site and with access to showers after a long trek I was happy to pay.
RangerWe stayed at Little Bennett starting on Labor Day Monday and left before the weekend, so it is hard to say how this looks when the campground is full of life. They had quite a few activities for families and a pavilion capable of concerts and such, but there was minimal activity during our stay. My biggest complaint is that the gate code changed and we didn't get any notice--so after a long day and a dinner out near Baltimore (nearly an hour away), I had to call the police to get back to my camper. Otherwise, the campsite was relatively spacious and quiet. The bugs were a little rough. Lots of whitetail running around.
Cabin camping near Highland, Maryland offers options within 30-40 minutes of major attractions like Washington DC and Baltimore. The region's temperate climate means most cabin facilities operate from April through October, with select locations offering year-round availability. Several campgrounds feature unique cabin accommodations not commonly found elsewhere in Maryland.
Explore water activities: At Patapsco Valley State Park-Hilton Area, visitors can access the Patapsco River. "There are some pretty cool Bridges, old houses, and a water fall," notes one camper. The park connects to several trails leading to river access points.
Disc golf courses: Bull Run Regional Park features a golf frisbee course among its amenities. The course is suitable for both beginners and experienced players, with rental equipment available at some locations. As one camper notes, the park has "golf frisbe course, decent water park for kids, hiking trails, small creek/river you can explore."
Family-friendly activities: Structured programming keeps children engaged at many locations. Little Bennett Campground offers a network of nature trails with educational components. One visitor mentioned the variety of "nature trails" that provide both recreation and learning opportunities, while another noted it's a "nice quite and spacious campground" with "lost of nature trails."
Modern bathhouse facilities: Clean, updated bathrooms with reliable hot water rank high with campers. A visitor at Pohick Bay Campground appreciated that "amenities and such are what you'd expect - clean but not new." Another camper at Bull Run emphasized the excellent shower facilities: "I'll go again just for the showers... Best camping showers I've ever had."
Seasonal water parks: Several campgrounds with cabin accommodations include water recreation areas. "Pirate's Cove waterpark is definitely a highlight in summer," according to a Pohick Bay visitor. These water features typically operate from Memorial Day through Labor Day, with daily hours from 10am to 6pm.
Wildlife viewing: Cabin sites often provide opportunities for nature observation. "Eagles everywhere!" exclaimed one Pohick Bay camper. At Patapsco Valley, another visitor noted seeing "the small crabs were skittering around the campsite and birds perched in the marsh."
Reservation requirements: Advance booking is essential, particularly for weekend stays. Ramblin' Pines has specific check-in requirements that campers should note: "You can only check in between 2 and 4! This might be off season though." Most cabins require 2-3 night minimum stays during peak season.
Site characteristics: Cabin areas vary significantly in terrain and privacy. "Space between sites seems to be standard," noted a visitor at Ramblin' Pines. Some locations feature wooded settings while others have more open layouts with limited privacy barriers.
Seasonal considerations: Weather patterns affect cabin comfort and accessibility. Spring visits often encounter muddy conditions after rainfall. "When it rains it really flushes through the grounds. We had a site on the lower end of the loop and our site was hard to set up," reported a Patapsco Valley camper.
Kid-friendly amenities: Cherry Hill Park offers extensive children's activities. "They have so much going on! Playground, Mini Golf, Swimming Pool, Hot tub, Basketball court, Snack bar on site, Nightly hayride," according to one visitor. These amenities typically require no additional fees for registered guests.
Educational opportunities: Several cabin locations provide nature programs specifically designed for children. One camper at Patapsco Valley appreciated the "sensory trail and nature discovery center at the entrance to the park," noting it's "perfect for keeping the kids entertained."
Playground access: Cabin location relative to play areas affects family convenience. "The campground had a playground and the bathhouse. The site was spacious," noted a Pohick Bay visitor, highlighting the importance of requesting sites near these amenities when traveling with children.
Access considerations: Entry routes to cabin areas sometimes present challenges for towing vehicles. At Codorus State Park Campground, a visitor reported, "there are lots of wooded sites, and asked to move. The 'full shade' sites were amazing." Requesting specific cabin locations based on access requirements is recommended.
Utility connections: Electric service varies between cabin types and locations. One Ramblin' Pines camper noted: "Not a lot of privacy, site wasn't level at all. I was actually kind of worried that it would slide into the woods." Bringing leveling equipment is advised even for cabin stays if you plan to park an RV nearby.
