Best Cabin Camping near Sharpsburg, MD

Cabin campgrounds near Sharpsburg provide accommodations within easy reach of historic Civil War sites. Harpers Ferry / Civil War Battlefields KOA offers cabin rentals with electricity, picnic tables, and fire rings. Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park in Williamsport features furnished cabins with varying amenities and proximity to their popular water features. "The sites are level, but full sun. Full hookups," noted one visitor about the Jellystone Park accommodations. Gambrill State Park Campground and Cunningham Falls State Park also offer cabin options with basic amenities and access to hiking trails and natural attractions.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. KOA cabins typically feature standard furnishings with beds, small refrigerators, and microwaves, while state park cabins tend toward more minimal setups. Most cabins require advance reservations, especially during peak summer months when families visit the region. Pet policies vary by location, with many allowing dogs for an additional fee. A camper wrote, "We stayed 4 days last year and we booked immediately for a 6 day stay this Aug 2018," highlighting the popularity of cabin accommodations, particularly at family-oriented parks like Jellystone.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Cooking facilities vary widely between properties, from simple fire rings to fully equipped kitchens in deluxe cabins. On-site camp stores at locations like Jellystone Park and Harpers Ferry KOA provide basic supplies, firewood, and some grocery items. Brunswick Family Campground and Hagerstown / Antietam Battlefield KOA maintain on-site markets for forgotten essentials. Visitors planning extended stays should consider bringing kitchen supplies, bedding, and any specialty items needed for their stay, as cabin accommodations typically provide only basic furnishings.

    Gettysburg / Battlefield KOA

    Amazing campground!

    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. We had civil war soldiers drilling and staying the weekend we were there. Bathrooms are super clean.

    Olive Green Cabin

    Decent escape from life in a cabin full of history

    Olive Green cabin, owned/operated by the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club is a two floor primitive cabin near Frederick, Maryland. It's a log cabin that was built around the mid-1860's. The last private owner, Olive Green lived in it until the 1980's (I think) when she was still living primitively without electricity or water. She grew her own food and had livestock on her property. The cabin itself is stocked with various cookware (including cast iron), bed frames, tables, chairs, books and games. We went in December after a storm and needed to shovel our way to the outhouse. Manual labor is not a bad thing! The opportunity to stay here and live primitively for a weekend was nice. The only downside is that the cabin is not effectively insulated, with numerous holes between the logging that lets a good amount of cold air in at night. There is also a wood burning stove on the first floor that's great for cooking on, but doesn't produce a lot of heat that needs to make its way to the sleeping quarters in the loft.

    Ole Mink Farm Recreation Resort

    Great resort-style cabin for “glamping!”

    Well-appointed, semi-rustic cabins set in Catoctin Mountain. Not far from the Wm. Houck lake area and trailhead to Cunningham Falls.

    Our cabin came equipped with A/C and heat, full kitchenette, fireplace, screened in porch, and firepit area (including wood and fire starters!) with seating and picnic table.

    Ole Mink Farm is very resort-like with a central pool and clubhouse. They also offer various activities — mainly on weekends — like cornhole tournaments and campfire gatherings.

    And I can’t say enough about the customer service!! They take hospitality to whole new levels! We ran into a couple personal snags on our trip, and they were so accommodating. Even when my Mom got sick, they checked in on us and asked about her by name. What a wonderful group of owners!

    If you want to “glamp,” I would HIGHLY recommend this place!

    Cowans Gap State Park Campground

    Great place for connecting with outdoors

    Pet friendly (spaces 1-30, Campground A), nice shower houses with heat, well laid out beach, beach house, watercraft rentals, friendly park rangers & staff, and in the center of trails galore!

    Manor - Cunningham Falls State Park

    Deer Spring Loop

    Deer Spring Loop is near the top of the mountain.

    This is not a pet friendly loop.

    Site 112 is level, mostly shaded, backs up to the woods and has electric.

    The site is between two cabins. Not a problem except the cabins were empty and the ac was running. Noisy and kind of wasteful.

    There are lots of good hiking trails in the park. It’s a nice walk to the lake. Note that the hike back is 2/3 uphill.

    They sell ice at the camp entrance, which is nice.

    The bathrooms were moderately clean and had plenty of hot water.

    I was not aware that there was a camp host until the third morning as I was readying to leave. I approached another camp to ask a question and they said they were the “camp hosts”.

    Happy Hills Campground

    Lots of regulars

    So this is my second time at Happy Hills Campground in Hancock, MD from June 25th-28th. It being relatively close to the home is the reason for choosing it because of doctor appts for the kids.

    The site I was in (F1) was really small and very close to the neighboring site. We got lucky no one was camping next to us. It had full hook-ups (30amp/water/sewer) and a pull thru site with picnic table and fire ring. It was $40/night. This campground is mainly for monthly site rentals with more than 3/4 of them permanent sites.

    Lots of golf cart and ATV traffic with no quiet hours that I am aware of. We weren't informed the pool would be open and you had to sign up for two hour timeslots to get in. This must have been information only available to the regulars here. Also cell service (Sprint roaming most of the time) is terrible and the campground wifi is spotty at best. The camp store was closed due to COVID so if needed anything you had to go to town.

    Bathrooms were clean. Never checked out the showers but heard they were free.

    Overall, I wasn't a happy camper. I don't think I will be back.

    Houck - Cunningham Falls State Park

    Quiet Getaway

    Cunningham Falls State Park - Houck Area, (http://dnr.maryland.gov/publiclands/Pages/western/cunningham.aspx) is pretty big and has much to offer...but part of the beauty is it is literally 5 miles down the road from Catoctin Mountain Park, a National Park Service with additional trails to enjoy.

    Nestled away in the Catoctin Mountains, it lands further away from Camp David, so the likelihood of it being negatively affected during dignitary or presidential visits is slim. Unlike the trails at Catoctin Mountain Park which will see closings.

    There are 149 sites to choose from, yes...149...in five different loops that continue to wind their way up the mountain. There are very few electric sites on the three lower loops, the fourth loop is all electric sites, but water is relegated to water spigots...3 to 4 spaced out in each loop. Be mindful that on some loops, one side of the upper loop can look down onto some of the sites on the lower loop... but they are spaced out. There is some ground cover between sites but you still have line of sight with your neighbors. There are also Camper Cabins available too. Each site provides a picnic table and fire ring. Gathering downed firewood is permitted.

    They also permit up to 6 people and two tents on a site...a rarity indeed!

    Showerhouse/Restrooms are placed in the middle of each loop and are modern facilities. Fairly clean and maintained. Electric outlets are a plus.

    This campground is pet friendly...must be leashed and not permitted on the sandy beach area during season. Cell service was fairly consistent.

    Unlike the National Park Campground a few miles down the road, Cunningham Falls State Park requires you to pass through a staffed office at the entrance and a gate.

    The 43 acre Hunting Creek Lake offers great (and busy weekend) fishing. Trolling motors are permitted, but ideal for paddling.

    There are plenty of trails, including the Catoctin Trail, but all the trails I was on do not permit biking.

    Another big draw is Cunningham Falls itself. The trail is an easy six mile loop to and from the falls.

    This is a very busy campground and I was advised it normally sells out on weekends, so securing a site in advance is wise.

    Bull Run Regional Park

    Bull Run Regional Park

    State run park with many amenities. Park has golf frisbe course, decent water park for kids, hiking trails, small creek/river you can explore, playgrounds. The park is located in the middle of suburbs close to manassas va. The park also offer cabin rentals if you don't want to camp. I like to take new families that have not camped before to this campsite, its close to home and if anyone decides to bail out there is a hotel 5 min away.

    Olive Green Cabin

    Lovely cabin stay

    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. You'll get some car sounds for sure, but mostly quiet after dark.

    The loft really only slept 2 unless you are ok sleeping on the floor. No running water or electricity. You'll need to bring plenty of flashlights and lanterns as well as water. Everything was clean and nice, including the outhouse.

    The porch of the cabin was our main hangout and cooking station as it does get very dark inside. There were still a few nice, late-season pears left under the tree that we very much enjoyed.
