Best Cabin Camping near Clinton, NJ

Furnished cabins near Clinton accommodate various needs at sites like Spruce Run Recreation Area and Voorhees State Park Campground. The cabins feature electricity, flush toilets, and wood-burning stoves for heating during colder seasons. Basic furnishings typically include bunk beds or twin beds, tables with benches, and storage cabinets. Some cabins offer kitchen amenities with electric stoves, refrigerators, and sinks with running water. "The cabins are reasonably priced and well-appointed, if a bit rustic. The interior features are just what you'd expect for getting away for the weekend."

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Voorhees State Park offers electric hookups in their cabins while Jenny Jump State Forest provides more primitive shelter cabins with wood stoves. Reservations are essential, particularly during summer months when most parks operate at full capacity. Pet policies vary significantly between locations—Voorhees allows pets in cabins while Spruce Run Recreation Area prohibits them. A review mentioned that the cabins at Jenny Jump State Forest feel "very private" despite being in an open campground area, recommending visitors "bring a sheet to hang over the windows" for additional privacy.

Most cabins include beds with vinyl-covered mattresses but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen supplies vary by location, with some cabins offering full cooking setups and others providing only basic amenities. Firewood is available for purchase at most park offices, though availability may be limited during peak seasons. One camper shared: "You need that wood stove to heat up the cabin. Turning on the oven is a help, but not a good solution." Several campgrounds feature small stores with essential supplies, though selection is typically limited to camping necessities.

    Stokes State Forest

    Cozy Cabins and Serene Trails

    Rented a cabin in November (#009) and again in December (#008) of 2021. I favored Cabin 8, the kitchen and bathroom were separated from the main room.

    The cabins are reasonably priced and well-appointed, if a bit rustic. The interior features are just what you'd expect for getting away for the weekend. THe main room has a bunk bed and two twins, a table with benches, two Adirondack chairs, a wood stove set into a fireplace (some cabins still feature a fireplace only, but these two did not), hot/cold water, electric stove with oven, refrigerator, toilet, bathroom sink, mirror, plenty of hooks to hang jackets and coats, storage cabinets in the kitchen area, overhead lighting, wall outlets, and screened windows.

    The doors feature deadbolt locks - so be sure to always take the key or set the lock to be unlocked all the time.

    The mattresses are vinyl covered, so you can wipe them down with your own sanitizing wipes. There was hand sanitizer in each cabin as well.

    Outside is a picnic table, fire ring, and grill. There are hooks near the door to hang a lantern.

    The park office is not nearby, about 2(?) miles away. They sell wood, and there are a few road stands near the campground, but that wood is wet. You'll need to find some birch to get your fire going if, like me, you didn't buy wood on the way (plenty of signs for wood as you approach the park office) and the office was closed upon arrival. I bought wood from a house across the street from the entrance to the cabins and it was damp, but in November, I wasn't complaining, it took awhile but I got a nice blaze going. You need that wood stove to heat up the cabin. Turning on the oven is a help, but not a good solution. The wood stove definitely heats the room up nicely. I went through two bundles of wood in one night, and could have used more in the morning. (There's plenty of fallen wood around but it was damp/raining both times I visited). The second time I took six bundles of wood and used them all from Friday to Sunday morning, and 7 would've have been better.

    The trails nearby are varied, read the maps (especially NY NJ Trail Conference Maps) to get an idea of difficulty/elevation. We went in November when there was a light rain that turned into a thunderstorm with hail and sleet! It was certainly an adventure. The area was  incredibly peaceful in December with many cabin reservations abandoned due to rain in the forecast. It did rain, but was still a great trip. The photos of the tent sites were taken in December.

    Jenny Jump State Forest

    Cute Comfortable Shelter

    This is the first time we decided to forgo tent camping and reserve a shelter at a state park. We had a much better experience than we were expecting! 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. Even compared to our glamping this was luxury!!

    There are eight shelters at Jenny Jump State Park. Shelter 2 is a minute walk from the restroom with sink/shower and water. Shelters 7 & 8 are even closer while 4 & 5 are the furthest, may an extra 5 minutes walk? The dead end means there isn't too much traffic, though the road is right there so you can wave to the other campers heading to the restroom or for hikes. There is a trail head at one of the parking lots. During the day the parking lots filled up and there was some overflow parking for day-hikers across the road. We got to see their dogs, so that was a bonus for us! Otherwise, this shelter is not situated too close to the other shelters and feels very private.

    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. There was a picnic table and benches inside. We brought camping chairs for relaxing on the porch. We spent most of our time on the porch; cooking, chatting, and crafting while enjoying the sunshine and breeze.

    Oh, this shelter is wheelchair accessible. Some of the others are not.

    Quakerwoods Campground

    Quaint Bucks County Camping Outpost

    If you find yourself careening around the picturesque country roads here in Bucks County you will discover Quakerwoods Campground (named of course after the previous tri-cornered hat-donning Quaker residents who settled this vast rich farmland a few hundred years ago) nestled in the verdant, rolling hills of a plush countryside punctuated by massive rolled bays of hay in the surrounding fields, covered wooden bridges and the occasional quaint New England well-preserved charming towns that you will encounter. So, if you have camping on your mind, finding a place like Quakerwoods Campground is quite the find, as it will place you squarely in the heart of one of the most picturesque natural landscapes here in the Keystone State.

    As for the campground, which is just off Exit 44 of PA Turnpike or Exit 60 & 60A off of I78, you’ll encounter a destination offering up 170 mostly back-in slots with full hook-ups (30 / 50 amp electric, water and sewage) for RVs ranging between $55-$49 in the midst of a fairly decent wooded surrounding, although less so on the interior of the campground and moreso on its perimeter. There’s about 18 tent sites ranging between $40-$45 that  feature 15 amp electric and running water. All RV and tent sites are relatively flat and include a standard-issued picnic table and in-ground fold-up fire ring. Don’t have an RV, 5th Wheeler or Tent? Not a problem, as the good folks here at Quakerwoods will rent you one of their 4-6 person campers for $120/ night.

    The amenities here at Quakerwoods Campground are plenty, inclusive of: 4 Pristine restroom& shower facilities, Wi-Fi service, Free wagon rides(every Saturday), Camp store, Fishing pond, Adult& kid swimming pools, Walking paths, Fishing pond, Game room, Family bingo, Mini golf, Baseball field, Horseshoe pits, Kids Playgrounds, RC track, Front& Back pavilions, Sand Volleyball court, Cornhole, Basketball court, Designated dump stations, water stations, Bonfires, 2 Shuffleboard courts, Ice for sale, Propane refueling station, Laundry-O-Mat, Themed weekends and Pet friendly.

    Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) As a tent camper, I was impressed by how Quakerwoods segregates mi tent pitchin’ bredren from the rest of the folks who bring their homes with them on wheels, placing tent sites across the other side of a small creek on the southwestern periphery near the fishing pond; (2) Should you grow weary of trying to conjure up that next meal from the depths of your Cordova roto-molded cooler or from the confines of your onboard mini-fridge, while there’s not a ton of restaurants around these parts, there are a few and they are pretty amazing, including favorites Brick Tavern Inn and The West End, McCoole’s @ The Historic Red Lion Inn and Sage Alley Brewery; (3) In the event that you need to replenish any of your supplies, rest assured as in nearby Quakertown, there’s a Giant & Aldi’s grocery store as well as a local Target, Walmart, TJMaxx, Kohl’s and Link Beverages to stock up on the 21+ liquid refreshment; and (4) Should you be towing your canoe or kayak with you and are eager to get the beak of your waterbird wet, then head on over due east of Quakertown Campground to Nockamixon SP where there’s a sizeable, yet skinny lake just begging for you to navigate it and get some good, hard oaring in.

    Happy Camping!

    Delaware Water Gap / Pocono Mountain KOA

    It's a KOA

    Its our first stop of many and we wanted to shake out any glitches with our new camper at a public campground. The staff are very helpful and accommodateing. This campground although dated offers all the necessary comforts-Wifi, hot showers, electric etc. Currently, there are various updates occurring: additional sites, new tiny cabins, WIFI and electric are also being modernized. We opted to relocate to a site with less construction occurring and although you can still hear back hoes etc-our view has much improved. We wish there was easier access to bike and hike trails so we didn't have to drive to a location but overall a comfortable and positive experience.

    Tobyhanna State Park Campground

    Good campground for families.

    My dog and I stayed for 2 nights in the rustic tenting area. We were the only campers Wednesday & Thursday. The family camp area features spaces (small areas for either RV campers or tents and cars) with a picnic table and fire ring and water (some have electricity). They also have shared facilities such as bathrooms and showers. However, they seemed a little too cramped fir me and I wasn’t looking for opportunities to socialize, so the remote tent site was my choice. The tent sites do not have water or electric, but do have picnic tables, a fire ring and share one large outhouse with clean pit toilets. There are 5 sites and they can accommodate (shared) multiple tent set ups. Also you need to park your vehicle in a designated lot which is very close to the sites. There are multiple easy hiking and biking trails that are well marked. A lake for fishing and a small sandy beach with a picnic area for families (unfortunately no dogs are allowed on the beach). There are 2 boat launch areas (one for the campers, and another for gen. public) which also has a boat rental business (dogs are allowed). There are black bears in the park so do not leave food out and dispose of all trash in the appropriate dumpsters.

    Turkey Swamp Park

    Nicely wooded park with many activity options

    General: Smallish (64-site) county park campground. There are also three cabins. As soon as you turn off the main road to the park, all roads are dirt, which was a bit surprising. They were well-maintained and in dry weather, not a problem, but probably not if it was rainy. The campground is in five loops with the bathhouse located in the D Loop. 

    Site Quality: Sites in Loops B-E all have pull-thru driveways. Sites are all level, very generous in size, and reasonably spaced apart for privacy. A lantern hook, picnic table, and fire ring complete each site. As mentioned, all roads and camper pads are dirt. There are some ADA sites but the only thing distinguishing them from others is their proximity to the bathroom. 

    Bath/Shower House: Very clean. Soap and paper towels are provided. The only thing missing were hooks or shelves for toiletries but there was a large bench that could be used. Since it is located in the D Loop it would have been helpful to have pathways leading from the other loops. Did not use the shower so cannot comment. 

    Activities/Amenities: There is a lake with a boat dock and a small boardwalk. Kayaking/Canoeing, fishing, and swimming. In the summer, canoe, kayak, paddle boats, and row boats are available for rental. Several short (longest one is 2.5 miles) hiking trails that are fairly well-marked but can be a bit confusing at times. Some sections of the trails were muddy due to swamps and bogs but passable. There is also a fitness trail. There is an archery range and a council ring (campfire). There is a dump station and laundry facility with brand-new washers and dryers (however, you need to pay using an app on your phone). The office is open until 9 pm and sells ice, firewood, and bait. There are age-appropriate playgrounds both in the campground and by the office. 

    There are not a lot of camping opportunities in NJ, and this was a nice one. The campground was only about 20% occupied when we were there at the end of April, so our stay was a quiet one.

    Tohickon Valley County Park

    One stop shop for adventure!

    This place is amazing! everything you could want, from tent and RV camping to cabin rentals. They also have a pool and playground. some of my favorite parts of this park are a good 100’ rack wall perfect for climbing, great fishing, trails for miles that even connects to the AT, and when scheduled they open the dam up stream for som world class whitewater rafting.

    As for some things that aren’t listed. this is no alcohol permitted in the park due to it being a state park, however that all depends on how open you are about it and the Park rangers. Cell phone service is limited last time I was up there in 2012 only people with Verizon Wireless had any reception. Also there is no WiFi. No hookups or camp store.

    High Point State Park Campground

    Relaxing and Well-Maintained

    Stayed 2 nights and it was really nice. Camping for summer is pretty limited to Sawmill Lake, as the other locations are for groups or winter camping. Camps are secluded from each other and most if not all have an elevated space to put tents or chairs. Each place comes with a lamp hang, a fire pit, and a picnic table. Bathrooms are spaced out. No running water except for pump founded outside of the bathrooms. Toilets are pump flushed. Showers are only located INSIDE High Point State Park, not throughout the campsites, but entry is free for campers. One hiking trail is accessible in Sawmill campground, 3 others are accessible on the road outside of the campground and the rest are located inside the park. When you arrive you have to check in with the park office for your campsite tag. Hours are 8-4. Park officials come through the campsites pretty regularly, a few times a day which is nice. Areas are clean and well maintained.


Guide to Clinton

Cabins near Clinton, New Jersey offer camping opportunities within the state's hilly Skylands region, where elevations range between 500-1,000 feet. Winter temperatures in cabin accommodations can drop below freezing from December through February, making wood stoves particularly valuable during these months. The area experiences seasonal changes that affect cabin camping conditions, with spring bringing muddy access roads and fall offering prime viewing of oak and maple foliage.

What to do

Fishing access: Spruce Run Recreation Area features multiple fishing spots along its reservoir shoreline. "The sites are large, many have nice mix of sun and shade. You can launch your kayak easily from the shore," notes Ruette W., who appreciates the waterfront sites despite limited hookups.

Wolf watching tours: At Camp Taylor Campground, the unique Lakota Wolf Preserve provides scheduled wolf observation opportunities. "The wolf preserve at the same location was just amazing - we learned so much and could hear the wolves howl from the campsite," reports Dina S., who combined wolf watching with hiking.

Astronomical observation: Voorhees State Park Campground features an observatory for night sky viewing near their cabins. "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," adds Katrina Z., noting additional recreational options in the area.

Rock music exploration: The unusual geological formations at Ringing Rocks Family Campground create natural musical instruments. "Bring a hammer," suggests Gregg G., referencing the park's unique feature where certain rocks produce metallic sounds when struck with other rocks.

What campers like

Natural seclusion: Jenny Jump State Forest offers wooded cabin sites with limited visibility between units. "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," explains Kelsey K. about the forest's tent sites.

Cabin accessibility: Some shelters at Jenny Jump State Forest provide wheelchair-accessible options. "This shelter is wheelchair accessible. Some of the others are not," reports Dwight D., who stayed in one of the park's shelters, noting its amenities including four walls, locking door, and windows.

Hot water availability: Mountainview Campground maintains clean bathroom facilities with reliable hot water. "The showers were free and clean with hot water and decent pressure," mentions Sarah, who found their camping spot spacious with even gravel landing for their camper.

Mountain views: The elevation changes around Clinton cabins provide scenic vantage points. "This park is high up on a mountain and affords lovely views. Well kept and clean," states Jocelyn G., though she notes highway noise can sometimes be heard at night.

What you should know

Bathroom maintenance varies: Different campgrounds handle bathroom cleaning with varying consistency. "The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. I thought with COVID they were cleaning them more, but for the entire weekend, someone's #2 remained all over the toilet, floor, and corner wall," warns Jules T. about Spruce Run's facilities during a busy weekend.

Noise concerns: Several cabin areas experience sound issues from highways or other campers. "You can hear 78, especially at night once the campground settles down," notes Jules T. about Spruce Run's proximity to highway traffic.

Staffing schedules: Some park offices close early, limiting access to supplies. "The main office does sell firewood. They close at 4pm, though, so be sure to get there before then!" cautions Kelsey K. about Jenny Jump State Forest's limited office hours.

Strict alcohol policies: Tohickon Valley County Park prohibits alcohol on its grounds. "It's a great place to take the kids for a night or two of lovely moderate hiking and outdoor experience. Except I don't have kids and the people I tagged along with didn't read the rules, so we brought a bunch of alcohol and had our selves a blast until the rangers showed up," shares Curran S. about enforcement of park rules.

Tips for camping with families

Swimming options: Multiple campgrounds near Clinton offer swimming areas for children. "The pool and splash pool for toddlers was clean with a lifeguard on duty at all times," reports Nicole S. about Colonial Woods Family Resort, noting their weekend stay included various activities.

Craft activities: Scheduled programming provides entertainment for children during weekend stays. "We went on Halloween weekend and they had so much for the kids to do! Friendly staff and clean sites!" shares Shannon C. about the seasonal events at Ringing Rocks Family Campground.

Playground proximity: Selecting sites near play areas benefits families with young children. "Park employees and park police drive around through the day. Some big groups of campers got a little rowdy at night," observes Jules T., noting the supervision levels at Spruce Run Recreation Area.

Room for multiple tents: Delaware River Family Campground accommodates larger family groups with spacious sites. "The bathrooms are clean, the pool is small but clean and the store has anything you can imagine," explains Mel C., though noting highway noise can be an issue for light sleepers.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling requirements: Mountainview Campground offers gravel parking pads that help with trailer setup. "The landing for the camper was even with gravel and the rest of the site was mostly even. The power station was well intact with 15/20, 30, and 50amp," reports Sarah about their experience at this campground.

Hookup limitations: Water access varies significantly between campgrounds in the Clinton area. "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," explains Ruette W. about managing limited hookups at waterfront sites in Spruce Run Recreation Area.

Tree clearance considerations: Colonial Woods Family Resort has narrow internal roads with potential obstructions. "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)," cautions Brian C. about navigating larger RVs through the campground.
