What to do
Waterfront activities: Campers at Jellystone Park Gardiner can enjoy swimming and water recreation. "Nice pool that is shallow so you can relax and let the little ones go in the water park section alone or they have a 3 ft pool also," notes Amanda S.
Hiking trails: Several campgrounds connect to regional trail systems. "We 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," mentions Justin P. about his experience at High Point State Park Campground.
Farm experiences: Some camping areas provide agricultural experiences alongside accommodation. "The host was fantastic and catered to all of our needs giving us a tour of her farm, and some fresh produce she picked that morning," writes Anthony S. about a tiny home rental at Peace and Carrots Farm.
What campers like
Riverfront locations: Many visitors appreciate stream-side accommodations. "Our site was right on the river and of an ample size," notes a reviewer at Neversink River Resort, highlighting the natural setting that many cabin rentals feature.
Private woodland sites: Forest surroundings create natural separation between campsites at several locations. "The sites were close together and everyone was super loud which didn't bother me. I enjoyed hearing other people's music and laughter," mentions Margarita Z. about Kittatinny Campground.
Elevation and views: Cabins at higher elevations offer panoramic vistas. "You can drive to High Point monument that is 1803 feet above sea level and you get a spectacular panorama view," reports Yolanda T., describing the area's topography.
What you should know
Variable bathroom facilities: Quality of restroom facilities differs significantly across properties. "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," explains Damia F.
Site characteristics: Many cabins have specific placement considerations. "The sites seemed closer together by the river, but not too bad," notes Dawn E. about Oakland Valley Campground.
Reservation timing: Most cabin rentals require advance booking, especially during peak season. "We got in with no reservation, which was great... but we have a trailer and the 'trailer' sites aren't level," reports Grant M., highlighting the unpredictability of last-minute accommodations.
Tips for camping with families
Activity options: Family-oriented campgrounds provide structured recreation programs. "This campground is great for kids. It has a event just about every weekend with kid activity," says Jennifer I. about Jellystone Park Gardiner.

Tips from RVers
Site leveling: Many cabin campers with RVs note terrain challenges. "Our site 30 is overgrown with weeds as were most of the sites although it had been mowed," reports Bill B. about Pleasant Acres Farm RV Resort.
Seasonal changes: Weather conditions affect cabin and RV camping differently throughout the year. "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," explains Damia F. about West Point FMWR Round Pond Outdoor Recreation Area.
Utility hookups: Water and electrical connections vary by season. "Nice, family friendly campground with 3 levels to camp at. Top level has a pool, showers and bathrooms with laundry area and game room. Middle level has open field with bathrooms with sinks and running water. There is water and electric on the sites at the middle level," describes Jeanne-Marie P.
