    Several campgrounds within a 30-minute drive of Annandale offer cabin accommodations, including Spruce Run Recreation Area and Voorhees State Park. Cabin facilities vary significantly between properties, with most providing basic furnishings like beds, tables, and seating. Spruce Run cabins, referred to as "shelters," feature wood stoves, tables with benches, and bunk beds. Voorhees State Park maintains several rustic cabins with limited amenities. Most cabins have outdoor fire rings and picnic tables for cooking and dining. Bathrooms with showers are typically located in central facilities rather than within individual cabins. "We stayed in the 'Shelter' which was a nice little cabin with a wood stove, table with benches and two bunkbeds (one of which was nestled behind a partition). There was a front porch with awning, fire ring and picnic table."

    Rustic cabins predominate in the Annandale region, with most offering basic sleeping quarters rather than deluxe accommodations. Mountainview Campground provides more private cabin settings with electric hookups and nearby water access. Reservations are essential, particularly during summer months when cabins often book months in advance. Most campgrounds in the area operate seasonally, typically from April through October, with limited winter availability. Pet policies vary by property—Spruce Run prohibits pets while Mountainview Campground is pet-friendly. A camper noted, "My husband and I have stayed here several times, but the last time was the best! We stayed 2 nights in Cabin Z for our anniversary getaway and we loved having the whole place to ourselves."

    Visitors should prepare to bring their own bedding, pillows, linens, and toiletries, as most cabins provide only bare mattresses on bed frames. Kitchen facilities are minimal or non-existent in most cabins, requiring guests to cook at outdoor fire rings or on portable stoves. Several campgrounds maintain small camp stores with basic supplies, firewood, and ice, though selection is limited. For more extensive provisioning, the nearby towns of Clinton and Glen Gardner offer grocery stores and outdoor equipment retailers. Many cabins have limited electrical outlets, so guests should bring power strips if planning to charge multiple devices. Bathrooms are typically central facilities rather than in-cabin, making shower shoes and toiletry carriers useful additions to packing lists.

      Hickory Run State Park Campground

      Peaceful State Park Camping in the Fall

      This is a large campground with a wide array of campsites so be careful attention when you book online, especially if you have a pet because some sites are not pet-friendly. Some are 50-amp full hook-up and some are primitive with no hook-ups. 

      There is a nice nature center with interesting interpretive exhibits and lots of informational brochures including ones about the hiking trails, bears, scat and tracks of local animals, and fishing. Our site was at the edge of the campground and backed up to Route 534 which resulted in a bit of road noise at our site. Other than the road noise the campground was pretty quiet and was not very crowded when we camped there in October. 

      Not all sites are level and we happened to book one that was not and we had to live with a slant for our stay. The roads in the park are gravel/dirt and since it rained the day we arrived the roads were a muddy mess which made the roads slippery and there were lots of potholes. Unfortunately, some campers were disrespectful and left bags of trash in the fire pit and scattered around their site which was totally unnecessary because there were dumpsters plenty of dumpsters in the campground. Since we camped at Hickory Run late in the season, there were no camp hosts and the trash never got picked up. 

      The campground is open from mid-April to mid-December; however, the shower facilities and dump station are not available after the third week of October so plan accordingly. We really like the hiking trails which are of varying degrees of difficulty and lengths. The Hawk Falls is a nice easy walk (1.4 miles round-trip) to a waterfall but is extremely popular so don’t think you will be admiring the falls alone. The parking lot at this trail head fills up fast so you better get there early if you want to get a spot. 

      You can enter the park from two different directions. If you have a big-rig, it is best to approach from the east side. We made the mistake of coming in from the west side as we dropped down from I-80 and came down 534 and the road was really windy with no shoulder. Luckily, there was very little traffic so we could go 10 mph and safely navigate the roads. 

      Be aware alcohol is not allowed in PA state parks. This park does allow hunting in certain sections of the park. The no-hunting areas are clearly marked with white no hunting signs on trees and you can also pick up a brochure from the office that designates hunting and no-hunting sections.

      Turkey Swamp Park

      Water/power at the campsite, and and centrally located dump station. Lots of trees and nice separation of sites

      Hickory Run State Park Campground

      Beautiful forest

      Gorgeous forested area in the Poconos. We stayed on the Rattlesnake Loop which was lovely. Sites not super private but most nestled in trees. The only bummer was that that Campground Loop didn’t have any direct links to the trail network and was far from it. The other Campground Loop was closer to trails and office. Would return!

      Great off season camping

      We camped here in our pop up for our Anniversary in November. We were impressed with the cleanliness and available amenities for the time of year we were camping in! Close proximity to DWG and PA AND NJ attractions.

      Pickerel Point Campground — Promised Land State Park

      Great cabins!

      We booked a cabin at the last minute and were pleasantly surprised that the cabin had heat and electricity! It was very close to the awesome heated bathroom also! We were also able to catch a beautiful sunset! Great camp all around!

      Large sites & friendly staff!

      Another great experience. Sites were large. Staff was friendly with many different things for kids to do. Great base camp for local hikes.

      Tohickon Valley County Park

      First time camping

      As far as experience it was good. The main issue was the campsite where we were was uneven and caused many of the sleeping arrangements that we had to be not level. This seems to be a specific issue to the group campsite number two as when we went inwards it seemed like everything else was much better.

      Kittatinny Campground

      AWFUL

      We reserved for a day. Very bad service. The river is super dirty and they did not even clean the trash cans. Besides, the fire ring has no grill cooking grate, so if you don’t bring your own NO GRILLING. Ryan was the person in front that took care of us, he was rude, my kids felt weird because he was not welcoming at all. Also, we try to ask for a partial refund since we did not felt comfortable since the beginning, and they said NO. We have experience camping, but this one was simply THE WORST. We lost the money but we won’t put our kids in a difficult situation. Thanks.

      Camp Taylor Campground

      Privacy & quiet hours are king

      We’ve been to Camp Taylor twice now for tent camping: September 2021 and May 2023. We stayed at the rustic tent sites both times, and there was room for 2 cars and 2 tents. Depending on how you want your setup, there are some that are more secluded and others that are close together and would be great for group camping.

      The staff are all lovely and take the time to explain the rules both in-person at check-in and on the forms they provide at the time of booking. They are not hiding how seriously they take rules like quiet hours, and it will keep campers like me coming back. If you are respectful of the folks around you and especially during the posted quiet hours, you will have no problems.

      The office and shop keep supply of snacks, firewood, and gifts. There are flush toilets mapped in spots of the tent sites (SUCH a pleasant surprise! I was expecting a porta-potty or vault toilet), and hot showers are available at the same complex as the office.

    Guide to Annandale

    Cabin camping options near Annandale, New Jersey range from rustic woodland shelters to lakeside accommodations within a 40-minute drive radius. The region sits in the Raritan River watershed at elevations between 400-800 feet, with rolling hills and mixed deciduous forests creating natural windbreaks around most camping areas. Winter temperatures typically drop to 20°F while summer highs average 85°F, making seasonal availability crucial for cabin reservations.

    What to do

    Kayaking on nearby lakes: Rent watercraft at Panther Lake Camping Resort where campers can access the large central lake. "Boating is great, good fishing, nice playground, basketball court and great amenities," notes a visitor who appreciated the water recreation options.

    Visit Lakota Wolf Preserve: Located at Camp Taylor Campground, the preserve offers discounted tours for campers. One visitor shared, "We could hear them howl from the campsite. There are moments by the fire you can hear them howl in the distance. It's one of our favorite places to camp."

    Rock exploration: Take a short drive to Ringing Rocks Family Campground where a unique geological formation produces metallic sounds when struck. A family noted, "Went to Ringing Rocks county park and the kids were having so much fun making music they didn't want to leave."

    What campers like

    Privacy levels: At Mountainview Campground, cabins offer seclusion in wooded settings. "The campsites are spacious and facilities are clean. Short drive to the Delaware River for tubing. We can't wait to return next year!" wrote one satisfied guest.

    Night sounds: Many cabins offer natural soundscapes not typically mentioned in brochures. At Camp Taylor, one camper remarked, "I've never heard so much wildlife there as I did here. Shortly after we settled into our tent did we hear foxes fighting right outside our tent, the snorts of deer, and there were bats right above us all night making noise!"

    Lake views: Waterfront cabin sites at Spruce Run Recreation Area provide direct reservoir access. "I have camped here on many occasions for over ten years... I love the water views. The sites are large, many have nice mix of sun and shade. You can launch your kayak easily from the shore."

    What you should know

    Bathroom access: While cabins provide shelter, bathroom facilities vary significantly. At Panther Lake, one camper noted, "Probably the worst shower ever. The lights are timed. The water is a button. The space is small as hell."

    Off-grid preparation: Most cabins lack electrical outlets or have limited power. At Jenny Jump State Forest, a guest explained: "We brought battery-powered lights since there is no electricity. There were coat hooks and a built-in shelf for our snacks, games, and other supplies."

    Seasonal availability: Winter cabin options are extremely limited. At Nockamixon State Park, however, year-round cabins are available: "The cabins are full electric with heat and are well appointed. It was an excellent fall trip location for a family with young children."

    Tips for camping with families

    Playground access: Some cabin areas feature dedicated play areas for children. Colonial Woods Family Resort offers numerous activities: "We had such a fun time during the summer between the pool, fishing at the pond and all the amazing amenities! Just walking around the campground is beautiful."

    Swimming options: When choosing cabin locations, consider proximity to swimming areas. At Tohickon Valley County Park, "There are trails for hiking and if you're there on a Saturday during polo season you can catch a match down the road at Tinicum Park."

    Educational opportunities: Seek out cabins with unique learning experiences. Jenny Jump State Forest cabins offer astronomy options, as one visitor shared: "This shelter is what we would describe as a 'cabin'; four walls, a roof, locking door, locking windows, large picture frame front window, four beds (two bunks), a wood burning stove, and a porch."

    Tips from RVers

    Site dimensions: Many cabin areas have space restrictions. At Colonial Woods, a camper warned: "The roads are very narrow, pretty sizable boulders on both sides, trees are very low and need to be trimmed (almost took my ac out with a huge limb)."

    Seasonal site differences: At Mountainview Campground, site quality changes with seasons. "Our site was #27 and pretty spacious. The showers were free and clean with hot water and decent pressure. The landing for the camper was even with gravel and the rest of the site was mostly even."

    Power considerations: Verify electrical capabilities when booking. At Spruce Run, a camper advised: "We luckily have some solar so we can go for awhile without running the generator. We fill our fresh water tank for and bring drinking water."
