Best Cabin Campgrounds near Glenwood, NJ
Several state parks and private campgrounds near Glenwood, New Jersey offer cabin camping ranging from basic four-wall shelters to furnished units with kitchen facilities. Stokes State Forest offers well-appointed cabins with bunk beds, twin beds, tables with benches, Adirondack chairs, and wood stoves for heating. According to one visitor, "The cabins are reasonably priced and well-appointed, if a bit rustic. The main room has a bunk bed and two twins, a table with benches, two Adirondack chairs, a wood stove set into a fireplace." Many cabins include kitchen facilities with electric stoves, refrigerators, and sinks. High Point State Park Campground and Pleasant Acres Farm RV Resort also offer cabin accommodations with outdoor fire rings, picnic tables, and access to shared bathrooms with flush toilets.
Cabin types range from basic shelters to more comfortable furnished units. Jenny Jump State Forest provides shelters described by campers as "four walls, a roof, locking door, locking windows, large picture frame front window, four beds (two bunks), a wood burning stove, and a porch." Pet-friendly cabins are available at several locations including Camp Taylor Campground and Kittatinny Campground. Most state park cabins operate seasonally from April through October, while some private resorts remain open year-round. Reservations are essential during summer months when cabin rentals fill quickly. Delaware Water Gap/Pocono Mountain KOA features newly constructed tiny cabins with modernized WiFi and electric service, though one visitor noted limited hiking trail access from the property.
Most cabins provide basic furniture and cooking equipment but require guests to bring their own bedding, pillows, towels, and personal items. Wood stoves serve as the primary heat source in many forest cabins, requiring sufficient firewood for cold weather stays. Spruce Run Recreation Area cabins include wood stoves with nearby deadfall available for campfires, though visitors recommend bringing dry kindling. Kitchen supplies vary significantly between locations, with state park cabins typically offering basic cookware while private resort cabins may include more comprehensive setups. Camp stores at locations like Mountain Vista Campground sell firewood, ice, and camping necessities. Cell service and WiFi connectivity remain limited throughout the region's cabin camping areas, allowing for a more disconnected experience.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mountain Vista Campground
Friendly Campground
Set on a hillside, the campground has three levels. The tent sites all have water & electric, and have a picnic table and fire ring. The sites are fully shaded. Facilities were neat & clean, and there was a covered verandah with string lights, chairs & picnic tables outside the bathroom area.
Campground staff were friendly, and there was a store with firewood, ice and many other conveniences. Wifi was available, and connection was good the entire time I was there.
The campground is convenient to many hikes in the Delaware Water Gap area.
Be aware that the campground doesn't have credit card facilities, but does have an ATM in the store if absolutely necessary.

Ranger Review: humangear FlexiBowl and GoBites at Steam Mill Campground
Campground Review
Stokes State Forest has four campgrounds. The Steam Mill Camping Area is tucked out the of the way and is the most primitive. It is the smallest of the campgrounds with 27 sites only suitable for tents or small trailers/campervans. No pets or alcohol allowed.
The campground has a pit toilet and a well. Each large campsite has a picnic table, fire pit, and lantern hook. Some sites also have a tent platform. Many sites are a bit rocky.
We selected site T219. It was a solid choice: private but close to the toilet and water. Some sites located around the opposite side of the ring back up to a babbling brook. The rushing water will soothe you to sleep.
Remember, this is bear country so proper food storage is a must. Bear lockers are not provided. The area also has ticks and rattlesnakes.
Outdoor activities in the area abound. Go fishing, hiking, biking, horseback riding, kayaking, and more. There are 21 marked trails that cover over 63 miles within the boundaries of Stokes State Forest. Twelve miles are part of the Appalachian Trail. Pick up a hiking map at the park office or download the Avenza Maps app.
This visit we hiked the Tillman Ravine trail (tip: make the trail a loop and visit both the ravine and the nearby old cemetery).
You can also drive or hike to Sunset Mountain Scenic Overlook for a view of High Point Monument. High Point Monument is the highest elevation in New Jersey and is located in High Point State Park which borders Stokes State Forest on the north. High Point State Park also offers camping, hiking, sightseeing opportunities. And, on the western border of Stokes State Forest is the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. So, there is lots of outdoors to get out and explore!
Product Review
We camped at the Steam Mill Camping Area in Stokes State Forest in our campervan over a chilly autumn weekend. We had the opportunity to cook some soup on our stovetop and chill out by the campfire. And, as Rangers for The Dyrt, we get products to test from time to time so we were psyched to try out some new dinnerware and cutlery. This included the FlexiBowl and GoBites from humangear.
What made these humangear products pretty awesome? Well, the fun colors to start. I mean, seriously, my orange bowl rules. The FlexiBowl also has some neat features: it’s flexible - just like the name suggests - and foldable. The bowl can be squished and stuffed anywhere. And, the top section can be folded down to create a smaller bowl. The FlexiBowl is versatile yet durable. It held my hearty, warm soup just perfectly.
I paired the FlexiBowl with one of the GoBites utensils (the Uno model). The Uno model is my favorite - it has a fork on one side and a spoon on the other side. Very simple and convenient. The other GoBites models include the Duo (separate fork and spoon that can snap together) and the Trio (a fork, spoon, and knife - with bottle opener - in a case).
PRO TIP: I keep the Trio GoBites model in my travel pack at all times. It recently came in handy on a (non-camping) trip to Sardinia. The knife on the Trio allowed me to slice some delicious local cheese to pair with bread, jam, and wine that was purchased from the grocery store. YUM.

Camp Taylor Campground
Great as long as you behave
Having been here on a few occasions I will say it is def a beautiful spot in many regards. However, there are some downsides.
Positives: sites are decent sized with fire pits and picnic tables. easy access to hiking, convenient to a beautiful vineyard, peaceful region, and the most amazing wolf preserve is right next to you.
Negative: limited access to firewood. sites are picked clean, quiet hours are strongly enforced- which can be a good thing depending upon who you are, the lake is anything but refreshing.
Guide to Glenwood
Cabin rentals near Glenwood, New Jersey offer access to the region's diverse terrain of wooded highlands reaching elevations of 1,500-1,800 feet. The Kittatinny Mountain Range creates a distinct microclimate with cooler temperatures than surrounding areas, often 5-10 degrees lower during summer months. Seasonal considerations are important as most rental cabins close during winter, though a select few provide year-round accommodations.
What to do
Hiking network access: Several campgrounds connect directly to the Appalachian Trail system with accessible trailheads. At High Point State Park Campground, campers can reach hiking trails without driving. "I fit in a hike up to the Appalachian Trail from our campsite, swam at the pond (Lake Marcia), and got in a fishing session at Steeny Kill Lake," notes Justin P.
Fishing at multiple lakes: Most cabin rental properties offer lake access within walking distance. Stokes State Forest cabins provide easy access to multiple fishing spots. "We stayed at the campsite at Lake Ocquittunk Area. Very comfortable site, quiet but still with plenty of amenities," reports E.M.V. "We didn't have direct views of the lake, but were within a minute walk to some quiet views."
Swimming options: Several parks maintain designated swimming areas with varying amenities. According to Vito M. at Ocquittunk, "Nice place to set up and car camp. Enjoyed some fishing and hiking within walking distance from the site." Many cabin rentals include swimming access during summer months.
What campers like
Cabin privacy levels: Cabin spacing varies significantly between locations, affecting noise levels and views. At Mahlon Dickerson Reservation, Greg S. reports, "It is so quiet here. Our site is easily the nicest - all the way in the back with only one neighbor." Campers seeking solitude should request end-of-row cabins.
Rustic architectural features: Many cabins maintain traditional construction elements that enhance the outdoor experience. "The sites have a fire ring with a cooking grate and a picnic table and were well spaced out from other sites. The views of the lake are nice, very peaceful," notes Catherine S. about Lake Ocquittunk.
Woodland wildlife viewing: The forest setting provides opportunities for animal observation from cabin porches. At Neversink River Resort, Amelia P. describes "A quiet natural campground for nature lovers," where cabin guests can watch for deer, wild turkeys, and other forest inhabitants from their doorsteps.
What you should know
Variable water access: Water availability differs significantly between cabins, affecting cooking and cleaning routines. "Water and electric hookups and a dump station. Convenient for hiking and exploring," notes Jeff W. about Mahlon Dickerson Reservation.
Kitchen supply limitations: Bring essential cooking tools as cabinet contents vary widely. One camper at Pleasant Acres Farm RV Resort mentions, "Large levelled spaces but a little muddy. Good for a quiet, relaxing weekend; not very close to attractions otherwise."
Heating system variations: Wood stove experience is necessary for cold-weather stays. W.L. at Stokes State Forest reports, "I went through two bundles of wood in one night, and could have used more in the morning... The second time I took six bundles of wood and used them all from Friday to Sunday morning."
Bathroom facilities: Many cabins have shared bathhouse access with varying conditions. Coffee&Camping T. notes at Pleasant Acres, "There are 2 showers for women and 2 for men. Both are old and not well maintained or in our experience clean, either."
Tips for camping with families
Animal interactions: Several campgrounds feature farm animals that entertain children. At Kymers Camping Resort, Eugene T. describes, "There's a pond stocked with 2-3 types of fresh water fish. They offer seasonal camping and a game room with a small general store."
Group site options: For family reunions, consider designated multi-cabin areas. Dana R. reports at Harmony Ridge Farm & Campgrounds, "The facilities were clean and neat, the campsites were spacious. The baseball field was perfect for our group activities as well."
Swimming facilities: Pools provide safer alternatives to lake swimming for younger children. "They have a pool which was probably the nicest thing about the site. It had plenty of umbrella seating area and a large mushroom shower thing," says Ethan K.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling challenges: Many cabin and RV sites require adjustment for comfortable setup. At Harmony Ridge, Tati R. advises, "Our campsite has water and electric hook ups. We chose a nice spot and made it our weekend home."
Water hookup distances: Connection lengths vary significantly between sites. "Website lists water hook ups at long distances but they have hose reels to help with that. Our site (15) said 75' however the 50' hose reel made it to our rv connection," reports "antruze" about Mahlon Dickerson Reservation.
Dump station locations: Plan ahead for waste disposal as facilities may be distant from cabins. "Trash is located off site in a pullout on the road you drive in on," notes Coffee&Camping T. about Pleasant Acres, highlighting the importance of checking these details when booking.
