1 campground with availability next weekend
Cabin camping near Croton-on-Hudson spans from rustic single-room structures to more fully furnished options with electricity and kitchen facilities. Croton Point Park offers cabin rentals with electricity and refrigerators, while the Stephen & Betsy Corman AMC Harriman Outdoor Center provides more rustic cabin experiences. Most cabins include basic furnishings like cots or bunks, with varying levels of electricity and kitchen facilities. "These cabins are VERY rustic, four walls, a cot, and a fridge. You still feel like you are 'roughing it' but with the convenience of a fridge," noted one visitor to Sebago Cabin Camp. Harriman State Park's cabin locations offer electric hookups, with some featuring picnic tables and outdoor fire pits for cooking and gathering.
Rustic cabins dominate the region's offerings, with options ranging from primitive single-room structures to multi-room family accommodations. Reservations are typically required well in advance, especially during summer months when most cabins book quickly. Pet policies vary significantly by location—Croton Point Park and Sebago Cabin Camp allow pets, while the AMC Harriman Outdoor Center prohibits them. A camper reviewing the Sebago cabins explained, "Most cabins have 2 rooms with 4 cots but some are larger. Inside has a full fridge and double hot plate, outside a fire pit and grill with table." Military personnel and veterans should note that specialized cabin options exist at West Point FMWR Round Pond Recreation Area.
Most cabins require visitors to bring their own bedding, pillows, and towels even when beds or cots are provided. Basic cooking supplies are sometimes available, but campers should plan to bring their own pots, pans, and utensils. Sebago Cabin Camp offers firewood for purchase on-site, saving guests from having to transport their own. Refrigerators are common in cabins throughout the area, allowing for food storage, though cooking facilities range from outdoor fire pits to electric hot plates. As one visitor to the AMC Harriman Outdoor Center mentioned, "They offer a meal plan (option for breakfast, lunch, dinner) that you can get at their dining hall and I highly recommend that option. Worth the added cost."
"Tent sites are very private with some dirt roads to exit out but thats what make it unique experience! Bathrooms with shower is near by and has plenty porta potties all around."
"Peaceful and gorgeous campsite, with plenty of space between sites. Great view of the Hudson, and playground within sight of our camper."
from $30 - $60 / night
"They offer cabins and campsites. We spent 4 nights in the campsite area and this is a first class facility. Very clean. "
"Beautiful lakes all over the place. The AMC camp in Harriman is fantastic too! Those are reserved and paid cabins and platforms."
"They have rustic cabins. Theae do not have plumbing or heat. It is a step up from cabin camping. They also have a beach behind it."
"Near lake Welch- which is phenomenal for easy nearly- beach like camping. The cabins are "rustic" - but there's what you need: cots, electricity, a fridge."

"This is a HUGE Jellystone park in upstate NY. There are literally hundreds of cabins and RV sites. We are in site 136, which is a back in spot. Plenty of room between campers."
"Site#22 included a large concrete pad, picnic table, charcoal grill, and large fire ring. Everything was in great condition. It was nice having plenty of space to not be on top of our neighbors."
"One rustic place with many hiking trails to choose from. Camp also provides trucking of gear weather permitting. No vehicles allowed to drive through camp. Trading Post for treats and other items."

GuideMade a reservation (site44) since I arrived as the sun had set. Office registration was open until 8. Staff was neither friendly nor unfriendly. Bathroom was dated but fine and a short walk from my site. CG was emptier being a Tuesday night in mid-October, so was plenty of space.
Great trail following the Hudson River. Beautiful fall colors.
RangerI'll start by saying this is a site-specific review (C20). I booked using Campspot and didn't select my own site but put in the criteria for my rig (30ft TT plus truck) and got a 50A back-in spot. The site was big but abnormal. Between the picnic table placement and the trees, I ended up right around 50ft from the electric and water, and the water spigot was so low I could barely put on my camco filter. With the uneven dirt roads, I had to unhitch with my truck in a gigantic puddle (lol). The site was otherwise fine aside from my gate code not working on Day 2. As for the campground as a whole, I thought it was pretty unique place by the river that offered several good amenities and activities, like downstream river tubing, an arcade, bathroom/shower facilities, a small store, little trails, and more. I would say this place borders the more primitive side.
ScoutWe 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.
ScoutWe stay at a lot of Jellystone parks so have become accustomed to the park layouts and activities. This one was well maintained with clean facilities. Some things like the mini golf and fire pits needed maintenance. The pools were nice but get very busy later in the day. The sites up on the hills are nice but beware, it’s a hill! There is little to no WiFi or cell service or it gets easily bogged down, so be ready for that. Food was basic but good. Some activities like bingo were a bit chaotic and there were a lot of ground hornets around the jumping pillows. Would totally go again.
LegendExcellent campground! The forest is beautiful, the Hudson River is super close, there are great trails, and the surrounding area is beautiful. Sites are electric only, so make sure your water pump is working and fresh water tank is full. There are spigots for filling and a nice dump station. The player is excellent. I don't think tetn camping here would be great because the tent sites are closer together and there are trains that pass regularly. We couldn't hear the trains in our camper and our site was large and private with great Forest and hammock trees. The mansion tours at Vanderbilt and Mills were awesome!
ScoutThe main issue with the sites was that they were primitive -- no water. The campsites were basically just wooden platforms, with a picnic table and fire pit. There were also a lot of bugs, though this may be due to the rain. The location itself was fairly pretty and there were a number of hiking trails of not-overly-serious difficulty. The particular site we picked left is a little farther from our car than we would have liked, but for other sites you can bring your car closer.
TravelerThe campground was closed in 2024 for renovations. It is now open. I did a tour of the campgrounds but did not stay there. FYI, generators are NOT allowed at all at this campground. I did not see electric or water hookups. There are three loops. Each has it pros/cons. Sites 30-33 are near the bathroom facilities, sites 34-50 are more secluded, sites 52-65 are closer to the lake.
GuideSpent one night here. The park is quiet. The facilities are a little outdated, although they said that newer ones had been built by the marina. I wasn’t up for the 15 minute walk, having just hiked up a mountain. My spot included electrical and water hook ups.
TravelerCampground: fairly secluded, forested, breezy with some wildlife. Small camp store. Ingress/Egress: Tight approach with multiple switchbacks and steep grades - if you’re coming in a towable rig over 36’ you might want to take a solo look first. Sites are oddly arranged and there aren’t any FHU sites. Cell: Verizon in spot C9 had 1-bar; we used Starlink for connectivity. Laundry: 3 washers & 3 dryers: $2.50 each. Dump Station: was close by (across the street) but we didn’t need it for our 3 day stay. Bathhouse: across the street, clean and we used it almost exclusively. Noise: Quiet with some small arms fire, but barely noticeable from our site. Site C9: can be viewed from Google street view site is north of the lake in the horseshoe road- some cabins are viewable as well. Site is gravel with composite picnic table, post metal grill and truck rim fire ring. Water pressure- fluctuated 30psi-50psi: hunted constantly. Cabins: available and in good order. They appear to be older, but still functional- mini log cabins $65/night (primitive-no bathroom)
Cabins near Croton-on-Hudson offer woodland retreats in the Hudson Valley region where elevations range from 30 to 950 feet above sea level. The terrain features rolling hills and dense forests with numerous lakes and streams. Most cabin camping areas experience four distinct seasons with peak camping from May through October when daytime temperatures average 70-85°F.
Fishing opportunities: Croton Point Park has shoreline access to the Hudson River with early morning fishing for striped bass, catfish, and perch. "This must be one of the most breathtaking camp grounds right on the Hudson. Tent sites are very private with some dirt roads to exit out but that's what makes it unique experience," notes Anil S. about Croton Point Park.
Historical exploration: Visit nearby Sleepy Hollow with its famous cemetery and historical sites, accessible from cabin locations. "We came in October to celebrate Halloween in sleepy hollow! This is a great campsite and reasonably priced. Was close to bear mountains state part and the train station is right there!" explains Wendy C. from Croton Point Park.
Water recreation: The Stephen & Betsy Corman AMC Harriman Outdoor Center features lakeside activities with canoe rentals. "You can do a hike around the lake. They have both cabins for rent and camping spots on platforms which are great, especially when it rains. You can also rent canoes and take them out on the lake for an afternoon activity," according to Ethan K. from The Stephen & Betsy Corman AMC Harriman Outdoor Center.
Proximity to NYC: Most cabins are within 30-60 minutes of New York City, making them accessible weekend getaways. "Close enough to the city, far enough to enjoy the nature. Expect crowds," writes Esther L. about Sebago Cabin Camp.
Meal options: Some cabin facilities offer dining plans that campers rate highly. "One highlight was having meals cooked by the stellar chef. The lake is very peaceful, and home to beavers we watched from the dining hall patio. This campsite is accessible by public transportation," says Ilya F. from the Stephen & Betsy Corman AMC Harriman Outdoor Center.
Wildlife viewing: Many cabins provide opportunities to spot local wildlife. "On the bright side, there are lots of bunnies!" mentions Isabel L. about Croton Point Park. The various parks feature deer, foxes, and numerous bird species throughout their woodland settings.
Reservation requirements: Many cabin locations book far in advance, with limited availability during peak seasons. "The reservation process is a bit wonky. You need to call (no online reservations) and then wait for an e-mail, but the e-mail does not tell you your assigned site; you have to wait until you check in to find out your site," explains Lee D. from Croton Point Park.
Regulations vary widely: Different cabin locations have unique and sometimes strict rules regarding noise, fire usage, and public areas. "The park itself, but particularly the campground, has become laden with all sorts of inexplicable and burdensome rules, endless guidelines, and restrictions only a New York State-run bureaucracy could ever make sense of," notes Paul K. in his review of West Point FMWR Round Pond Recreation Area.
Cell service limitations: Many cabin areas have limited or no cell coverage. "Just a note to other campers with T-Mobile, we did not have any service on the campsite, however just a hop in the car or a quick walk down the mountain for 5G service near the entrance off the main road," reports Jacey H. about West Point FMWR Round Pond Recreation Area.
Kid-friendly activities: Several cabin locations offer organized children's programs during summer months. "Peaceful and gorgeous campsite, with plenty of space between sites. Great view of the Hudson, and playground within sight of our camper," shares Thomas from Croton Point Park.
First-timer friendly cabins: For families new to outdoor recreation, cabins provide a gentle introduction. "I took my 5 year-old-son and wife, all of us first time campers. This place was great. The site was very nice, all the people friendly and area beautiful," states Kevin G. from Croton Point Park.
Bathroom considerations: Facilities vary significantly between locations, with some offering limited amenities. "Clean but a bit dated. No shelves or hooks for toiletries. I was surprised the door was left open all night long," comments Lee D. regarding the bathrooms at Croton Point Park.
Site leveling: RV sites at cabin campgrounds may require leveling adjustments. "We had a loosely defined gravel pad that was level. All sites appeared level. The FHU sites were back-to-back and although there were trees separating the sites, they were close together," notes Lee D. in a review of Mahlon Dickerson Reservation.
Water connections: Some locations have helpful adaptations for water hookups. "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," explains antruze from Mahlon Dickerson Reservation.
Military options: Active and retired military personnel have special cabin options with expanded amenities. "No frills but beautiful. Bath houses are absolutely spotless. Fire pits, electric and water hook ups only. Will return! Staff is friendly and helpful. Military families should check it out!" recommends Mindie C. about High Point State Park.
