Most cabin rentals provide basic furniture and kitchen equipment but require visitors to bring their own linens, pillows, blankets, and toiletries. Cooking facilities vary significantly between locations, from fully equipped kitchens at Heckscher State Park to more basic setups elsewhere. Fire pits are sometimes included with cabin rentals, though some parks require guests to bring their own or rent one on-site.

While many cabin sites are located near beaches or natural attractions, proximity to grocery stores varies, so planning ahead for food and supplies is recommended, especially for more remote locations like Fire Island where access requires a ferry ride.
