Best Cabin Camping near Peekskill, NY
Cabin accommodations near Peekskill offer varied lodging options within a 90-minute drive of New York City. Croton Point Park provides cabins in a county park setting along the Hudson River. The Stephen & Betsy Corman AMC Harriman Outdoor Center features lakeside cabin units with platforms that remain dry during rain. Sebago Cabin Camp maintains rustic cabin structures within Harriman State Park, containing minimal amenities like cots and refrigerators. "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."
Rustic and standard cabin units both appear throughout the region, with policies varying significantly between military-only facilities and public options. West Point FMWR operates two military-exclusive facilities: Round Pond Recreation Area and Lake Frederick Recreation Area, both offering cabin options for active and retired military personnel and their families. Reservations for most cabin facilities require advance booking, particularly during summer months. Pet policies differ between locations, with some permitting pets while others, including the AMC Harriman Center, prohibit them. One visitor to Lake Frederick noted, "Between rustic power-only campsites and upgraded but still simple cabins, there is something for everyone."
Most cabins supply basic furnishings but expect guests to bring their own linens, towels, and personal items. Kitchen facilities vary widely, from cabins with no cooking facilities to those with basic refrigeration. Camp Glen Gray and Peace and Carrots Farm Bluebird Tiny Home provide more private cabin experiences away from larger campgrounds. Several locations maintain on-site camp stores selling essentials, though selection is typically limited. Croton Point Park notably lacks on-site stores, requiring a "short 5 minute drive to nearby supermarket to pick up food or firewood," according to one camper.

Cozy Cabins and Serene Trails
Rented a cabin in November (#009) and again in December (#008) of 2021. I favored Cabin 8, the kitchen and bathroom were separated from the main room.
The cabins are reasonably priced and well-appointed, if a bit rustic. The interior features are just what you'd expect for getting away for the weekend. THe main room has a bunk bed and two twins, a table with benches, two Adirondack chairs, a wood stove set into a fireplace (some cabins still feature a fireplace only, but these two did not), hot/cold water, electric stove with oven, refrigerator, toilet, bathroom sink, mirror, plenty of hooks to hang jackets and coats, storage cabinets in the kitchen area, overhead lighting, wall outlets, and screened windows.
The doors feature deadbolt locks - so be sure to always take the key or set the lock to be unlocked all the time.
The mattresses are vinyl covered, so you can wipe them down with your own sanitizing wipes. There was hand sanitizer in each cabin as well.
Outside is a picnic table, fire ring, and grill. There are hooks near the door to hang a lantern.
The park office is not nearby, about 2(?) miles away. They sell wood, and there are a few road stands near the campground, but that wood is wet. You'll need to find some birch to get your fire going if, like me, you didn't buy wood on the way (plenty of signs for wood as you approach the park office) and the office was closed upon arrival. I bought wood from a house across the street from the entrance to the cabins and it was damp, but in November, I wasn't complaining, it took awhile but I got a nice blaze going. You need that wood stove to heat up the cabin. Turning on the oven is a help, but not a good solution. The wood stove definitely heats the room up nicely. I went through two bundles of wood in one night, and could have used more in the morning. (There's plenty of fallen wood around but it was damp/raining both times I visited). The second time I took six bundles of wood and used them all from Friday to Sunday morning, and 7 would've have been better.
The trails nearby are varied, read the maps (especially NY NJ Trail Conference Maps) to get an idea of difficulty/elevation. We went in November when there was a light rain that turned into a thunderstorm with hail and sleet! It was certainly an adventure. The area was incredibly peaceful in December with many cabin reservations abandoned due to rain in the forecast. It did rain, but was still a great trip. The photos of the tent sites were taken in December.

A nice family friendly campground
This is a nice family friendly campground that makes for easy trips. There are a variety of sites available, from open field sites to more wooded and private areas. The campground also has a lake for swimming,trails for hiking, and some nice quiet areas for fishing. Well maintained bathrooms, with available showers, are also spread throughout the grounds. Not pet friendly unfortunately.

Relaxing and Well-Maintained
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. Camps are secluded from each other and most if not all have an elevated space to put tents or chairs. Each place comes with a lamp hang, a fire pit, and a picnic table. 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, but entry is free for campers. One hiking trail is accessible in Sawmill campground, 3 others are accessible on the road outside of the campground and the rest are located inside the park. When you arrive you have to check in with the park office for your campsite tag. Hours are 8-4. Park officials come through the campsites pretty regularly, a few times a day which is nice. Areas are clean and well maintained.

FAMILY HEAVEN
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. Gravel spot which is pretty level. Full hookups. Picnic table, cable, fire ring, large camp store, showers, toilets, and full laundry area. Also has playgrounds, pillow jump, fishing pond, golf carts, game room, Waterpark, pool, and tennis courts. All of this nestled into the mountains. Nice and family friendly.
Sambath T.GuideYogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Birchwood Acres
Perfect for families with littles!
Our 21 month old had the time of his life here! We stayed for 3 nights in June in a rustic cabin. There are no bathrooms in the cabin but there are public restrooms nearby. The resorts is decked out with 2 playgrounds, a splash park, kiddie pool, family pool and hot tub. They have activities on the weekends with Yogi the mascot such as wagon rides, dance parties, arts n crafts. It was a little expensive to stay here but was so worth it! Make sure you reserve a golf cart if you stay during the weekend- it's a must have to get from place to place and our little guy loved it!

RV and Cabin Rental Only...and a miniature horse!
It is important to note that there is only RV and cabin rentals offered at Pleasant Acre. The grounds are up on top of a mountain and is quite beautiful and quiet. This is a great place to get away and bring your family and dogs. They offer several planned activities for kids and they have nice facilities like a great swimming pool and ping pong. Important to not miss: the amazingly beautiful miniature horse that wonders around its huge pin located in the middle of the campground.

Stokes State Forest
Campsites too close together and camping areas are greatly spaced out
Stokes State Forest is a beautiful park with a lot of different trails to check out, though some of them are difficult to access due to parking. The camping areas are split between two different entrances. If you’re in Lake Ocquitunk, like I was, you don’t enter at the main entrance, you have to go past the main entrance about another mile on rt. 15 N. and enter by the YMCA. All the other camping areas are near the main entrance by the forest office. The campsites themselves are a little too close together in some spots with little coverage or privacy. There is a day parking area which is only accessible going through the main entrance by the forest office— if you visit during the week park entrance is free, but on the weekend fees can be a bit steep. I wasn’t super happy with my campsite as I wasn’t able to physically have my car on the site like I thought. I had to park in a small lot above my campsite and carry my belongings down a short slope to the site. I like to car-camp so this was a bit of a let down having my car separate from my actual campsite.
The bathrooms were nice and had flush toilets, but the showers were out of service during my time. Bathrooms are extremely spaced out so you will have to walk a far distance unless you strategically choose a site next to one. I drove through the other campsite and only saw 1 set of bathrooms that had toilets and showers per campground, not including the outhouses I saw for those in the small cabins.
Guide to Peekskill
Cabin accommodations near Peekskill offer a range of options from rustic to fully furnished experiences. Croton Point Park provides cabins on a peninsula along the Hudson River, with electric hookups and proximity to recreational areas. The Stephen & Betsy Corman AMC Harriman Outdoor Center features lakeside cabin rentals with electricity and access to shared facilities. West Point FMWR locations at Round Pond and Lake Frederick provide military-exclusive cabin options with lake access. "The bath house is always well stocked and clean, ready for end of the day cleanup and the laundry facilities are a great bonus for those of us who like to stay longer than a couple days."
Rustic log cabins dominate at Sebago Cabin Camp in Harriman State Park, where each unit includes outdoor cooking areas and basic amenities. Most cabins in the region require reservations, particularly during summer months when availability becomes limited. Pet policies vary by location - Croton Point Park and Round Pond allow pets in select cabins, while the AMC Harriman Center prohibits pets entirely. One visitor noted: "We were able to rent a cabin which was equipped with an outside grill and picnic area. It is great if you're going with a group/family and people want to sleep inside a cabin as oppose to a tent outside."
While basic furnishings like beds and refrigerators are standard in most cabins, visitors should plan to bring their own linens, pillows, towels and personal items. Cabin kitchens vary significantly - Sebago cabins feature "a full fridge and double hot plate," while others provide only outdoor grills or fire pits for cooking. On-site stores at West Point FMWR locations and larger parks sell firewood and basic provisions, though bringing groceries from nearby towns is recommended for longer stays. The nearby Camp Glen Gray offers fully-furnished cabin options with electric heating for year-round comfort, making it suitable for families seeking more amenities during cooler seasons.
