1 campground with availability next weekend
Rustic cabin accommodations across the Adirondack region provide a balance of outdoor immersion and basic amenities. Cedar Creek Cabin offers woodland seclusion while the cabins at Old Forge Camping Resort feature more developed facilities with electricity and indoor conveniences. The Natural Bridge/Watertown KOA provides cabin options with varying comfort levels, from basic structures to more furnished units with kitchenettes. Adirondack Mennonite Camping Associates maintains traditional camp-style cabins with bunk beds situated on Beaver Lake. "The bathrooms and grounds are well maintained and accessible from wherever you are in the park. There are hiking, biking and running trails galore."
Options range from tiny log cabins to spacious family-sized layouts at properties like Wellesley Island State Park Campground, which offers both standard and waterfront cabin locations. Winter accommodations are available at select locations, particularly Old Forge Camping Resort where cabins serve snowmobilers and skiers. A visitor commented, "Dry cabins or cottages with bath and shower are available. Snowmobile trails are accessible from the campground and seasonal rentals are available." Many properties require advance planning, with some guests booking up to a year ahead for peak summer periods. Pet policies vary significantly between properties—Kayuta Lake Campground and HTR Adirondacks permit pets in select cabins, while Cedar Creek specifically prohibits pets.
Most cabin rentals include beds and basic furniture but require visitors to bring their own linens, pillows, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary widely, from simple fire rings with cooking grates to fully equipped kitchenettes with refrigerators and microwaves. On-site camp stores at larger resorts like Old Forge provide essentials including firewood, basic groceries, and breakfast items. As described in feedback on The Dyrt, "The visitors/welcome center has everything you need, including firewood, sweatshirts and homemade breakfast sandwiches." Depending on the season, visitors should prepare for temperature variations—cabins with heating are essential for comfortable winter stays, while summer visitors may need to bring fans for warmer periods.

RangerStopped here on my way from Maine to Ohio. I booked via Harvest Hosts and chose to boondock since they had a market (pay for food instead of a booking fee) and I was pleasantly surprised with the overall location. The entire farm is in great condition, the roads are marked well, there are several trails, plenty of wildlife, and just a generally pleasant experience. Loaded up on some goods at the market.
GuideThe MWR shop was excellent to work with!
The sites, under 15, are pull through and full hookups. They are spaced fast enough apart that privacy is a plus consideration!
Check in at front gate was courteous and quick!
ScoutTraveled from northeastern PA with 5 other families. All with kids under 13. Location was great. Everyone super friendly. Very convenient being near the grocery store. Tiki bar was fun for adults! Very clean! We rented a boat and went to Clayton for the day. Will definitely go back again.
ScoutI would never return to this campground. We rented a golf cart, and while going downhill, the rear wheel came completely off because the lug nuts were not secured. My 1-year-old and 6-year-old were on the cart, and we were extremely fortunate that no one was injured. When I expressed how serious and upsetting this was and how close my children were to being injured the owner’s response was,“But were they?” When I explained that my children were thankfully not injured but were shaken up by the incident, he sarcastically questioned whether my 1-year-old could be traumatized. They did provide us with another golf cart afterward, but I consider that the bare minimum after being given an unsafe rental. After the apparent lack of proper inspection of the cart and the ill-mannered response to such a serious safety issue, I would never recommend this campground.
TravelerBeautiful and well kept campground. Stayed right on the river and was beautiful. Full hookups was nice. Nice campground if you have kids. Only downside is you are very close to the site next to you.
GuideWe had a great stay at Oneida Shores Campground. Over the weekend it was nearly full, but it never felt crowded. The other campers were friendly and there were no issues. At 10 pm, it got very quiet, no issues. The newly paved sites are level. The grounds are well kept. I wouldn't say the sites were too close together. We had plenty of room. The tent area is shaded by trees, the rv section is not. We encountered several park employees, all were very friendly and helpful. Never saw any geese. The only negative is that the showers and restrooms need a deep clean and upgrade, but they were serviceable.
TravelerWe thought the campground was beautiful, tight to your neighbors on majority of sites, and lack of trash cans for pet waste especially since the campground is so big. It has ball field, 2 playgrounds, rec room, camp store, lake Ontario to swim, trails for multi use, and pavillions. Down fall for us was small site , lack of trash cans to toss pet waste, not being told about fill station because there is no water faucets like most state parks along campground. We were there for first time so not familiar with park. Office did not offer us a map to get to our site or clue us in on filling our tank prior to parking camper. Main gate personnel not on same information. bathrooms could be cleaned more often. bathhouse building is all gender with bathrooms on one side of building and showers on other. Bathroom and showers are private space rooms. Beach is very rocky with little sand area. Life guards only guard one side of beach making everyone crowded to one side
GuideI've stayed here twice, once in 2024 and again in 2026, both on Memorial Day Weekend. In 2024 I woke to the sound of loons but did not hear them in 2026.
This is a large campground on the shores of Cranberry Lake with access to many hiking trails and other activities. Quite a few of the sites are lakefront but they seem to book up fast. Most of the sites are spaced out fairly well although a few are close and will result in you seeing & hearing everything your neighbors are doing. However, they are mostly designed well and blend into the environment. A few seem like afterthoughts and are right on the road, so you'll want to choose carefully.
Dumpsters are in the center of the campground near the bathhouse, which has hot showers. There is a sandy beach area near the entrance of the campground and a volleyball area near the dumpsters/bathhouse.
It's a beautiful area and is mostly quiet. Other campers were respectful and didn't play loud music although a few talked loudly late into the night. There are lots of trailer camping sites, so you should expect to hear generators although most people were considerate and only ran them in the daytime.
This is a great campground for exploring the Adirondack Mountains. The town of Cranberry Lake seems mostly dead so don't plan on eating in restaurants nearby.
GuideWe've stayed here half a dozen times, usually for an evening along our camping trips. We did stay an extra day once to do some of the activities available.
It's a bit of a haul to get to the campground and the first time we were sure that we had missed a turn as we left Herkimer and headed up smaller and more winding roads to the campground. The turn off to the campground comes up fast and is quite sharp so be on the lookout for it.
The campground has many sites including back in and pull through. Not the largest of sites, but lots of green space to give the campground a park like feel. Some camp sites are right along the West Canada Creek. You can swim/wade in it, in addition to riding rafts along it.
There is a working "diamond" mine at the campground where you can try your hand at mining, or just buy some of the crystals that someone else did the work to get. There is a nice restaurant open most days (we have always managed to miss the days that it's open) in addition to stands near the mine that sell hot dogs and burgers.
There is a nice, large pool. In the park like area around it they have stands that sell mixed drinks, and others that sell ice cream and other deserts. The camp store is medium-large and has supplies, food, souvenirs (including Herkimer Diamond), etc.
Cabin rentals near Martinsburg, New York provide access to the western Adirondack region and Tug Hill Plateau, an area known for heavy annual snowfall exceeding 200 inches in winter months. The elevation ranges from 1,200 to 2,000 feet, creating distinct seasonal camping experiences between the lowland waterways and higher forested areas. Cabin accommodations throughout the region vary significantly in winterization levels and accessibility during shoulder seasons.
Snowmobiling access: At Old Forge Camping Resort, winter visitors use cabins as base camps for extensive trail networks. "Close to skiing. Snowmobiling is the real reason to come here. Snowmobile trails are accessible from the campground and seasonal rentals are available. The staff will help you with snow removal," notes Carrie H.
Paddling options: Lake and river access points provide multiple paddling environments within 30 minutes of Martinsburg. "The lake was beautiful. As soon as you enter the campground there is someone outside waiting to help you," reports Chris H. about the waterfront at Sun Outdoors Association Island.
Fishing opportunities: Cabin locations offer both lake and river fishing access for different species. "We had a blast shooting archery targets. Very nice quiet campground. Bathrooms are a little old but very clean," writes Jason D. about the recreational options at Kayuta Lake Campground.
Hiking trail access: Most cabin properties connect to trail systems of varying difficulty. "The bathrooms and grounds are well maintained and accessible from wherever you are in the park. There are hiking, biking and running trails galore," mentions a visitor about recreation options.
Lakefront locations: Waterfront cabin sites command premium prices but offer direct water access. "Every day is beautiful here," writes Kim B. about the Wellesley Island State Park Campground setting, which offers standard and premium waterfront cabin options.
Winter amenities: Some properties maintain year-round operations with winter-specific features. "We have even had Valentine Weekend with chocolates and Champagne delivered to our cabin. Call them and plan a winter weekend with no worries," shares a visitor about seasonal offerings.
Camp store convenience: On-site stores eliminate trips to town for supplies. "The sites are rather tight and on top of each other but that just makes for closer neighbor's. With the connection of the stay and play with enchanted forrest water safari it makes for a great time," notes Paully B. about the convenience of property amenities.
Privacy variations: Cabin seclusion differs significantly between properties. "Small island that you get to by a causeway. You'll never see more beautiful sunrises and sunsets! Nice pool. Not a lot to do if you don't have a boat, but great for a short weekend," explains Keri about the Sun Outdoors Association Island environment.
Advance reservations: Peak season requires planning up to 12 months ahead. "Make sure you book far enough in advance. We typically book 1 year prior for the cottages," advises a visitor about securing accommodations.
Bug preparations: Waterfront properties experience seasonal insect issues. "One HUGE downfall was the amount of BUGS! Millions (not exaggerating) of midges and mayflies swarming the grounds from Lake Ontario. Be prepared to deal with this," warns Tracey G.
Wildlife awareness: Bear activity requires proper food storage. "Lots of black bears in area heed the warnings regarding keeping cars and camper locked keep food and cooler secure," cautions Becky M. about necessary precautions near Natural Bridge/Watertown KOA.
Variable amenities: Cabin facilities differ widely across properties. "The sites are small, but there are mature trees between them & woodsy areas around the campsites. The campground is clean and well kept. The laundry room and bathrooms were clean," notes Liz M. about cabin surroundings.

Sleeping in cabins with bunk beds, swimming, canoes, and a high ropes course, gathering around the campfire to end the day," describes Elizabeth B.
Swimming options: Several properties maintain dedicated swimming areas separate from boating zones. "It has a pretty little pond for swimming and paddle boats a short hiking trail around the pond and the staff were all very friendly," shares Becky M.
Playground proximity: Request cabins near playgrounds for families with young children. "This campground has so much to offer, nice store, pizza place (DELIVERS), bands, cabins, trails. I loved it the lake was beautiful," notes Chris H.
Wildlife viewing: Some properties offer managed wildlife encounters. "The ability to see bears through the camp ground and a great lake for kayaking there is something for everyone," writes Paully B. about nature opportunities.
Site selection: Request specific cabins based on needs and group size. "Our site was a pull in and we faced a western view of Lake Ontario. We were treated to gorgeous sunsets and minimal light pollution at night," shares Donna C. about Fort Drum Recreation Area.
Off-season benefits: Shoulder season offers better availability and reduced crowds. "With my family and pets in tow, we took a weekend and committed it to nature and ourselves. Remington is a Military campground, but for the several military families looking to disconnect a couple of miles from home this would be it," explains Crystal H.
Check hookup requirements: Verify electrical capacity for heating appliances during cold weather. "This campground does not have grills at the primitive tent sites. So bring your own or buy a rack for $20 at the camp store. Sites are spacious. Staff was very friendly," advises Charyssa G.
Site leveling: Many cabin and RV sites require leveling equipment. "The sites are close together and beware of the bear. We had one or two in and around our camp site almost every nite," notes a visitor about the site conditions.
