Best Cabin Camping near Ripley, NY
Lake Erie State Park Campground in Brocton provides cabin accommodations approximately 15 miles from Ripley, while Chautauqua Lake KOA in Dewittville offers cabin rentals with convenient access to lake activities. Both locations feature basic furnished cabins with electricity and beds, though amenities vary by site. "The campground was busy, but not over-crowded. The shower houses are clean," noted one visitor about Lake Erie State Park. Compass Campgrounds provides more rustic cabin options with trails for exploring local wildlife. Brushwood Folklore Center also offers cabin rentals but maintains a clothing-optional policy throughout the grounds.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Lake Erie cabins provide lake views but limited privacy, while KOA cabins typically include more amenities such as furnished patios at premium sites. Most cabins require two-night minimum stays during peak summer months from May through October, though some allow single-night bookings on weekdays. According to one reviewer, "Although this is a KOA Holiday, we used it as a KOA Journey on our way to the Catskills. Not too far from the Interstate and there was no highway noise at the campground." Pet policies vary by location, with most allowing dogs but imposing restrictions.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities range from basic fire pits to equipped kitchenettes, depending on the cabin type and location. Chautauqua Lake KOA provides a camp store for basic supplies, while Lake Erie State Park cabins require bringing all necessities as the nearest grocery stores are approximately 15 minutes away by car. Firewood is available for purchase at most locations. Water access points are near cabins but not always directly at individual sites. During summer months, advance reservations are strongly recommended, particularly for weekend stays and cabins with lake views.
