Sebago cabins in Harriman State Park provide what one reviewer calls "what you need: cots, electricity, a fridge," allowing visitors to enjoy a camping experience with basic conveniences. Pet policies vary significantly between locations, with some parks like Camp Glen Gray prohibiting pets entirely while others welcome them with certain restrictions.

Most cabin rentals require guests to bring their own bedding, food, drinks, and personal items. Kitchen facilities range from fully equipped kitchens at Heckscher State Park to simple hotplates at Sebago Cabin Camp. Firewood is typically available for purchase at park offices, with many locations providing fire rings or outdoor grills for cooking. Bathroom facilities vary widely, from private bathrooms with showers in premium cabins to shared bathhouse facilities for more rustic accommodations. While some locations like Collective Governors Island have on-site markets, most cabin campers should plan to bring supplies or shop at stores before arrival. Cabins with refrigerators allow for food storage, but limited counter space means meal planning should focus on simple preparations.
