Several state parks and private campgrounds near Maryland, New York provide rustic cabin rentals with varying amenities. Gilbert Lake State Park Campground offers spacious cabins with two bedrooms, including one with bunk beds and another with a full-size bed. These furnished cabins include dressers, a main room with fireplace, futon, table with benches, and a screened-in porch with toilet area. The full kitchen comes equipped with refrigerator, oven, and sink. According to one visitor, "Spacious cabin was clean and comfortable... Full kitchen with fridge, oven and sink." Betty and Wilbur Davis State Park features camper cabins that are "beautifully built with lovely settings," though guests need to bring their own linens. Glimmerglass State Park Campground, located about 8 miles outside Cooperstown, also offers cabin accommodations with access to Otsego Lake.
Cabin types range from basic rustic structures to more comfortable furnished options with electricity and indoor plumbing. Most state park cabins operate seasonally, typically from May through October, though Betty and Wilbur Davis State Park offers winterized cabins for cold-weather stays. Pet policies vary by location, with some parks allowing pets for day use but not overnight in cabins. Cooperstown KOA provides themed cabins as part of their family-friendly amenities, operating from April 18 to October 15. Reservations are essential, particularly during summer months and special event weekends in Cooperstown. As one reviewer noted about Betty and Wilbur Davis State Park, "Reserve one of the winterized cabins and come for a long weekend of cozy cabin time and quiet time outdoors on the winter trails."
Most cabin rentals provide beds, basic furniture, and sometimes kitchen facilities, but typically require guests to bring their own linens, pillows, and towels. Cooking setups vary widely between locations, from full kitchens with refrigerators and ovens to simple fire rings outside. While some cabins have indoor plumbing, others rely on nearby communal bathhouses with showers and toilets. Firewood is generally available for purchase at campgrounds or from local vendors. Small stores at locations like West Canada Creek Campground offer essentials, though many visitors prefer to bring supplies from home or shop in nearby towns. For extended stays, larger grocery options can be found in communities like Richfield Springs (about 5 miles from Cooperstown KOA) or Cooperstown itself, which is approximately 12 miles from several of the campgrounds.

GuideOquaga Creek State Park Campground
Very Nice and would go again; but not the Adirondacks.
Really liked it. Love the layout, with camp sites having mowed paths to the restrooms and showers in the middle of each loop. Nicest showers and rest rooms we have seen so far. Each site has brush between them so you can not see your neighbors. Pretty, quiet, relaxing. The groomed hiking trails are the best and Arctic Lake is beautiful. Staff were so nice, and loved doing the scavenger hunt!
What E.TravelerLake Chalet Motel and Campground
Clean, Quiet & Beautiful!!
This campground is beautiful. The lake is good sized and clean. The property has beautiful fields and a creek that runs along the back. This is not a party campground and people are not packed in on top of each other. The little store is cute & affordable and the owners are on site 24/7.
Howard S.ScoutGilbert Lake State Park Campground
Staff is great as well as the campgrounds
Gilbert Lake State Park is located about 11 miles north of Oneonta, New York. I have camped here for a number of summers at their Hilltop Section, never dissapointed. There are a few trails that traverse the park for a few miles that are always green and shady. The lake offers swimming and kayaking. There is a concession stand and even a small museum that chronicles the efforts of the national CCC program under Roosevelt that constructed the park in the 1930's. After a long day of hiking, the campgrounds hot showers offer a great reprieve.

Deer Haven Campground and Cabins
New management is awful.
Now that All Star Baseball purchased this Oneonta campground this year, don't expect to stay here if you are not a baseball family. I went there in person yesterday for two nights at their"primitive" tent sites. After Hanna checked her computer, my dates were all cleared...great, then let me pay the $70... but no... she had to check with management first. I thought that was strange since that never happened to me before when getting any campsites elsewhere. I was told I'd be called later that day but nobody called me. I went back the next day only to be told all sites for the summer were rented out. Clearly that was not true based on her computer check the day before. BOTTOMLINE: if you are not a baseball family spending $1000's here, don't expect to even get the time of day. Therefore, they do not deserve anyone's business.

Herkimer Diamond Mine KOA
Interesting things to do at this campground
We'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.

Disrespect & Discrimination
Long read, but so worth it! Below is the review that I posted last August after our vacation. Mind you, the vacation for my immediate family has been 10 years in a row and when I was a kid the same! The incident that happened was with our friends and therefore when I wrote the review, it stated what I witnessed! I was hoping that management changed and/ or they fixed the problems so I was willing to give it another try, I mean, this has been apart of my childhood and my children’s so why not! I called today, lady was super nice and helping me look through all the campsites because we come with so many people! I paid and then friends of ours called. After they called, our friends said that my reservation was cancelled. What??? So I called back thinking it was something on my end. I then had to wait for management to call back. Called back, and whoever I spoke with was extremely rude! She basically told me I was never welcome back and that the owners said so! Now mind you through this whole thing, I never talked to the owners. So do the owners only take one side of the story? I’m not even someone that this incident directly happened to! I said, well can I please speak to your manager or the owner. No, i am the manager, you are not welcome back. I told her that everyone in our party will probably cancel as well and her response was“I’m just waiting for 1 person to call me”! I said a few choice words and I hung up. CRYING. WHAT????? Are you discriminating me because of an issue you had with another camper???? I can’t believe what this has amounted to. So instead of dealing with your issues you just don’t allow people back? Instead of having the owner or management actually call and have a respectful, which was not had, conversation with someone you just brush it off! I have come to Herkimer longer than some of these people have worked there! I really don’t have words for how I feel. And to make matters worse I always go over my dad’s anniversary of his death, August 5, because this was his favorite place and now I can’t go and neither can my children. Great job herkimer diamond mines koa! I applaud you on your discrimination, disrespect and the lack of empathy you have for your campers! Especially the ones who have been a constant! I’m assuming Phil and his wife are still management, good luck! And to the campers that wish to go there, I really hope you enjoy yourselves because it truly is an amazing place. Unfortunately, my memories had to stop here! August 2025 This review is extremely hard for me to write, but what I had witnessed for a week of being there is disgusting& just simply not right. My family has been coming to Herkimer KOA for decades. Throughout the years, we have shown many other families this"gem"... or so we thought. This year was a bit different, there are new camp managers... This week I have witnessed human waste being sprayed all over campsites, management that discredits everything you say, management that thinks its okay to have charges on your bill that they cant even explain, ice cream cart that closes right before the last kid orders& leaves in tears, bathrooms that are disgusting! This is NOT THE HERKIMER I REMEMBER AS A KID! If you look on google, the owners of this campground is a family that has owned it for 50 years! That's amazing& kudos to them! But Phil, Phil is going to ruin every ounce of what they have worked so hard for!& being a business owner, you want management there representing YOU! Doing what YOU would do if you were there. Those owners should not be receiving mine& my friends reviews today if management did their job! Unfortunately, again very hard to say, we will not be returning if Phil is there.& I can honestly say, that the 14-20 families we bring every time, that spend thousands of dollars, will not be as well! Thank you Phil for ruining a vacation I personally held so close to my heart.& because you don't care about how you treat people& how you manage, you have lost years& years& years of loyalty.

Most cabin facilities operate from spring through fall, with limited winterized options available during snow season.
What to do
Fishing access points: Glimmerglass State Park Campground provides shoreline fishing on pristine Otsego Lake. "The lake is pristine and wonderful to swim in. Nice beach. Also a place for showers and a bathroom and small place for food and extras things you might need for camping," notes one visitor.
Baseball-themed activities: Cooperstown attractions are within 20 minutes of most cabin sites. "With Cooperstown 15-20 minutes away no lack of things to do for adults and kids. Great restaurants also. No reason to ever get bored," reports a Glimmerglass visitor.
Winter trails: For off-season cabin stays, cross-country skiing options exist on maintained trails. Crazy Acres Campground offers year-round access to outdoor activities. "Excellent campground. The tone of the place is set when you drive in. Everyone, staff and campers are friendly respectful even the kids," reports a camper.
Stargazing spots: Clear nights offer exceptional night sky viewing from cabin locations. "We have also had some great star viewing here!" mentions a Glimmerglass visitor.
What campers like
Spacious layouts: Many cabin sites provide ample room between units. At Gilbert Lake State Park Campground, "Two entrances, one to the kitchen and the other to the porch. Outside was a fire ring. An easy hike to a nearby lake was very pretty," notes a recent visitor.
Wildlife viewing: Multiple cabins report regular wildlife sightings. "Lots of wildlife, coyotes howling in the distance at night and plenty of deer," reports a Gilbert Lake visitor.
Cell service availability: Connectivity varies by location but some cabins offer surprisingly good connections. "We had better than average cell phone service near/in the cabin with AT&T," notes a Gilbert Lake reviewer, while at Cooperstown KOA, a camper found "The WiFi is very good-- modern and surprising speeds (60Mbps) and cell phone for AT&T was decent."
Multi-generation friendly: Cabin facilities accommodate various age groups. "We go annually with family and friends. The sites are a great size for accommodating two tents and have many people gather at meals," mentions a Glimmerglass State Park visitor.
What you should know
Reservation requirements: Advance planning is essential, especially for baseball tournament weeks. At Cooperstown Beaver Valley Campground, "Cute cabins, lots of great amenities, pools, corn hole, volleyball net, nicely kept baseball fields, store, areas for group picnics.

Kitchen facilities: Cooking setups range from basic to complete. Gilbert Lake cabins include "Full kitchen with fridge, oven and sink."
Bathroom situations: Some cabins feature indoor facilities while others utilize communal bathhouses. Glimmerglass State Park offers "Very nice bathrooms with shower and wash station."

Tips for camping with families
Pool facilities: Several locations offer swimming options for children. Crazy Acres Campground provides "a big lake to fish in and a pool to relax by. Nighttime family fun as well. We worth a weekend of fun for the whole family."
Playground access: Kid-friendly facilities vary by location. Deer Haven Campground offers walking trails suitable for families. "On top of hill right outside of town. Stayed during the week and was able to get a more secluded, wooded site. Nice walking trail around the property through woods and field."
Cabin spacing: Consider proximity to other campers when selecting sites with children. "The cabins are beautifully built with lovely settings," notes a visitor about cabin options in the area.
Wildlife education: Morning and evening wildlife watching provides learning opportunities. "We enjoyed our stay and saw deer on our site a few mornings!" reports a Deer Haven visitor.
Tips from RVers
Access considerations: Some cabin areas have limited turning space. At Cooperstown KOA, "Our site was a pull-thru but there was no way we could drive our 45' motorhome forward out of the site because of a large tree and narrow roads. So we ended up having to back out."
Parking restrictions: Cooperstown itself limits vehicle size. "You can't park any vehicle over 20' in Cooperstown, but you can park for free (even a motorhome) in the Yellow Lot and take the Trolley into town for $2.50. Super convenient!"
Supply locations: Stock up before arrival as local options are limited. "Little Lake Campground is one of the quietest we've ever stayed at, both at night and in the morning. Electric, water, and septic hookups were all modern and in great shape."
