What to do
Hiking nearby trails: At Spruce Run Recreation Area, campers can access trails ranging from easy walks to moderate hikes. One visitor noted, "Plenty of privacy from other sites. Close proximity to good hiking and kayaking at Delaware Water Gap but without the crowds of their sites."
Visit the wolf preserve: At Camp Taylor Campground, a unique attraction stands out. "There is a section of RV spots that are each cut out in the woods so very private... You can take a short hike up the mountain there to see the wolves in the sanctuary. There are moments by the fire you can hear them howl in the distance."
Rock exploration: For a geological adventure, bring a hammer to Ringing Rocks Family Campground. As one visitor explained, "Mom was away so took 3 babies on a trip. Went to Ringing Rocks county park and the kids were having so much fun making music they didn't want to leave."
Fishing opportunities: Multiple water bodies provide fishing options for cabin campers. A visitor to Spruce Run shared, "Decent overnight park. Lots of space. Great for sailing and fishing. Does get a little rowdy at night with some groups that party."
What campers like
Secluded wooded sites: Mountainview Campground receives praise for its natural setting. According to one camper, "This place was actually fantastic, I don't really have anything negative to say about it. The whole scene was exactly what I love about camping, a nice little remote campground in the mountains."
Waterfront views: Many cabins feature water access or views. A Spruce Run visitor mentioned, "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."
Clean facilities: Cabin campers appreciate well-maintained amenities. At Jenny Jump State Forest, a reviewer stated, "The space was reasonably priced, but we did have to pay an extra $5/day for our dog. However, we didn't mind as it was so private we felt like we had the entire Park to ourselves. The bathroom/shower was only a few steps away which was convenient and clean."
Wildlife viewing: Natural encounters enhance the cabin camping experience. A Mountain View camper reported, "Only 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!"
What you should know
Reservation timing: Most cabin rentals require advance planning. At Jenny Jump, "The '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."
Varying electricity options: Not all cabins offer the same amenities. At Spruce Run, "There are some RV sites with water & electric which are not on the water, but in the parking lot. I would consider getting one on the water to enjoy the water and one in the parking lot to hook up the RV. It's kind of worth it."
Bedding requirements: Most cabin rentals provide beds without linens. Prepare to bring your own sleeping bags or bedding materials.
Seasonal considerations: At Tohickon Valley County Park, cabins remain available during cooler months. "Since it was late in the season, I called ahead to make sure this campground (22 individual sites plus two group sites and four cabins– two rustic and two modern) was still open."
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Several cabin rental facilities feature play areas for children. At Colonial Woods Family Resort, a visitor observed, "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."
Activity planning: Schedule activities to maximize family enjoyment. A Ringing Rocks visitor commented, "We went on Halloween weekend and they had so much for the kids to do! Friendly staff and clean sites!"
Safety considerations: Consider site selection when camping with children. A Colonial Woods camper advised, "We appreciated that they haven't charged us extra in the past for our kids. Our kids love the pool and splash area."
Noise levels: Some campgrounds maintain stricter quiet hours than others. As one Camp Taylor visitor explained, "Unlike many other campgrounds we've been to, they are very good about actually enforcing the quiet hours at night, so you can have an actual peaceful and quiet night around the campfire."
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Choose cabin locations based on your specific needs. At Mountainview Campground, a visitor shared, "The sites are either in thick, wooded areas, or in open fields. Our site was fully private (could not see or hear neighbors)."
Facility access: Consider proximity to restrooms when selecting a cabin. At Quakerwoods Campground, "The tent spots are pretty much on top of each other, not much privacy. It's next to a farm so the sunrise is pretty nice. The deliver firewood to your site, and the staff is friendly."
Road conditions: Some cabin locations have challenging access roads. A Mountainview camper noted, "The drive to our site had some inclines and was relatively rocky and some vehicles would surely struggle."
Storage options: Plan for limited storage in many cabin rentals. Bringing stackable containers or collapsible organizers can help maximize space.
