    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Cabin campgrounds around Harriman State Park offer rustic accommodations within an hour of Sparkill, New York. The Stephen & Betsy Corman AMC Harriman Outdoor Center provides cabin rentals with basic amenities including electricity and refrigerators. Sebago Cabin Camp features simple cabins equipped with cots, electricity, and refrigerators, though bathroom facilities are shared. Croton Point Park, situated along the Hudson River, includes cabin options with varying levels of amenities. Camp Glen Gray maintains rustic cabins with firewood provided and access to hiking trails. West Point FMWR Lake Frederick Outdoor Recreation Area offers simple cabins with more limited amenities but clean facilities. "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 cabin options predominate in the region, with most providing basic furnishings and minimal kitchen facilities. Sebago's cabins typically include two rooms with four cots each, a full-size refrigerator, and double hot plates for cooking. Most cabin sites prohibit pets, though exceptions exist at Croton Point Park and some other locations. Advance reservations are essential, particularly during summer months when demand peaks. Cabins at the AMC Harriman Outdoor Center can be accessed via public transportation with a shuttle from Tuxedo Park Train Station. One visitor noted that "the cabins are always clean and stocked with firewood," though amenities vary significantly between locations.

    Most cabins require guests to bring their own linens, pillows, and toiletries. Cooking equipment is typically limited, with some cabins offering hot plates while others rely on outdoor fire pits and grills. Camp stores or trading posts at some locations stock basic supplies and firewood, though selection varies considerably. At Sebago Cabin Camp, a camper advised to "ignore the hotplate and just cook on a fire out other outdoor set up." Bath facilities are generally shared and centrally located rather than attached to individual cabins. The West Point FMWR Lake Frederick facility maintains "bath houses always well stocked and clean," according to visitor feedback, and includes laundry facilities for extended stays.

      West Point FMWR Round Pond Outdoor Recreation Area

      Rest up and Recon the Museum 2026

      Campground: fairly secluded, forested, breezy with some wildlife. Small camp store. Ingress/Egress: Tight approach with multiple switchbacks and steep grades - if you’re coming in a towable rig over 36’ you might want to take a solo look first. Sites are oddly arranged and there aren’t any FHU sites. Cell: Verizon in spot C9 had 1-bar; we used Starlink for connectivity. Laundry: 3 washers & 3 dryers: $2.50 each. Dump Station: was close by (across the street) but we didn’t need it for our 3 day stay. Bathhouse: across the street, clean and we used it almost exclusively. Noise: Quiet with some small arms fire, but barely noticeable from our site. Site C9: can be viewed from Google street view site is north of the lake in the horseshoe road- some cabins are viewable as well. Site is gravel with composite picnic table, post metal grill and truck rim fire ring. Water pressure- fluctuated 30psi-50psi: hunted constantly. Cabins: available and in good order. They appear to be older, but still functional- mini log cabins $65/night (primitive-no bathroom)

      Heckscher State Park Campground

      Great Late Fall Weekend Cabin

      This was a last-minute booking for us and we were delighted with the beachside cottage, with enough amenities that mom and dad did not worry we had their cutie with us for "camping". She's too little for backpacking into the woods but finally got to stay overnight and help with the campfire!

      Pros

      • Modern facility with full kitchen accessories (coffee maker, plates, wine opener, can opener, silverware, pots, pans, cooking utensils, toaster, oven), sponge/dish liquid. Microwave.1
      • Clean interior, clean campground
      • modern cottage with propane fireplace, WiFi access, bathroom with shower, large screened in porch with bar height table and 4 chairs, deck with chaise lounges, two bedrooms (1 with 2 twin beds, 1 with full), coach, chairs, plenty of clean storage places and hooks. You have everything but bedding, food, drinks, and personal items.
      • cottages far enough away from each other
      • fire ring with Adirondack chairs
      • dumpster and recycling within walking distance
      • lots of bone dry firewood around for campfire
      • walkable beach
      • beautiful
      • wildlife: deer, rabbits, turtles

      Cons

      • a bit pricey
      • playground is driving distance not walking

      Stokes State Forest

      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.

      Heckscher State Park Campground

      Like camping in a city park, the beach cottages are the highlight

      My husband and and I camped one night at this newly reopened park over the weekend in Long Island just to check it out and were pretty disappointed by the tent camping area. There are 69 tent/trailer sites(no hook ups). There is no distinguishing separation between each site nor a designated driveway for your car- you merely pull up on the grass. It's basically like camping in your local city park. People park wildly all over the place, which also makes it more difficult to determine which site is which by the number painted on the roadway. Each"site" has a picnic table and an barbecue grate on a post. There is one bath/shower house in the center of all of these sites with no path provided for folks to walk to and fro, so naturally people will walk right through your site randomly rather than around the road. While the bathroom building itself is in decent shape and has a large amount of toilet stalls and about five showers, the condition of women's room was absolutely ghastly inside.

      At some point during the evening, a maintenance worker on a golf cart showed up with a mop and some cleaning supplies and cleaned the men's side of the building. I was so relieved when I saw him, but he seemed to neglect the women's side completely, so I resorted to using the men's facilities all night.

      There are no fire pits on any of the sites, although I learned afterwards that they do allow you to bring your own metal fire pit as long as it is elevated off the ground. There are large dumpsters located throughout the camping area and a large trash bag is provided (if needed) at the camp office when you check in.

      The highlight of Heckscher State Park is the newly constructed heated cottages located on the shore of Nichol's& Great South Bays.. There are currently 11 cottages--- with more under construction. There are cottages suited for two, four, and six people and range in price from$225-$285 per night during off peak seasons and$250- 320 per night during the peak seasons.

      The cottages are fully furnished, with a full kitchen and large bathroom with a walk in shower. The cottages are a short walk from the beach and also include a fire pit with Adirondack chairs and an outdoor shower on the exterior each property. I do not have photos of the inside, but they do have them on the Reserve America website if you are interested.

      While the cottages are lovely and their location is fabulous  they are quite pricey and  no TLC was spent in the$22 tent/rv camping area, other than a new registration office which is not yet completed as of this weekend. I do hope they invest some funding in the primitive area to add fire pits,more water spigots, clearer site markings and for the continued maintenance& upkeep of the bath/shower house.

      * I emailed the parks departement about the issues mentioned above about the camping area and received this reply:

      I am sorry that you are upset with the conditions in our recently opened campgrounds. We have replaced all of the picnic tables. Although, they may look old because they are weathered since these picnic tables were put together during the Winter, however, they are brand new. All of the barbeques are also new and were installed during the Winter. We have changed and modernized the light fixtures and we will be replacing the rusted doors that you mentioned. There are also plans to install a playground within the campground beginning this Fall and we are looking for other improvements and additions to the campgrounds. As you probably noticed there is a new building under construction, at the entrance to the campgrounds, and it will serve as a check-in area, as well as, additional comfort stations, including family restrooms. Your suggestion of fire pits is a good one and the Park Managers will evaluate the feasibility of installing these. Lastly, I have spoken to the Park Manager who will review the cleaning operation to ensure the restrooms are appropriately maintained. I apologize for our employee not cleaning the women's room. Again, I am sorry for your negative experience but we are continuing to make improvements to the campgrounds.

      Sincerely, George Gorman Regional Director New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation

      I will check back later this year to see if anything was changed and report back.

      High Point State Park Campground

      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.

      Pleasant Acres Farm RV Resort

      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.

    Guide to Sparkill

    Cabin camping near Sparkill, New York offers rustic overnight options within the Hudson Valley region, where elevations range from 250 to 1,300 feet across the various parks. Most cabins remain open from April through October, with Croton Point Park offering year-round availability. Winter temperatures can drop below 20°F, requiring additional preparation for cold-weather stays.

    What to do

    Hiking access from cabins: The Stephen & Betsy Corman AMC Harriman Outdoor Center provides direct trail connections to over 63 miles of marked paths. "Great hiking for all abilities. Free camping at stone shelters. Beautiful lakes all over the place," notes Meredith C., highlighting the varied terrain suitable for different experience levels.

    Lake activities: Most cabin sites include water recreation options. At Sebago Cabin Camp, visitors can enjoy the extensive lake area. "Sebago has a huge lake and great beach area. It was perfect for lounging and swimming in during a hot summer day," according to Ethan K., who appreciated the dedicated swimming facilities.

    Seasonal events: Many parks host organized activities, particularly on weekends. At Croton Point Park, winter visitors can enjoy festive activities. "We came in October to celebrate Halloween in sleepy hollow! This is a great campsite and reasonably priced. Was close to bear mountains state part and the train station is right there!" reports Wendy C.

    What campers like

    Private lake access: Cabin guests often cite water features as a major advantage. "The lake is very peaceful, and home to beavers we watched from the dining hall patio," explains Ilya F. from The Stephen & Betsy Corman AMC Harriman Outdoor Center, noting the natural wildlife viewing opportunities.

    Fire pits and cooking areas: Despite basic cabin amenities, outdoor cooking spaces enhance the experience. "Outside a fire pit and grill with table," describes Hashim C. regarding Sebago cabins, mentioning the practical cooking options available at most sites.

    Weekend community activities: Organized events create social opportunities. "Sebago has a ton of activities like outdoor movies and communal bonfires on weekends. I was told by ranger Joe they also do Karaoke nights too," shares Sara P., highlighting the structured programming that supplements the natural setting.

    What you should know

    Cabin furnishing variations: Basic provisions differ substantially between locations. At Camp Glen Gray, "Cabins are always clean and stocked with firewood. Lots of hiking trails," reports Christopher M., noting that firewood provision is not standard across all locations.

    Reservation requirements: Booking procedures and timing vary by location. Most require significant advance planning, especially for summer weekends when sites fill quickly. Mahlon Dickerson Reservation operates on a first-come basis for many sites.

    Bear country precautions: Food storage requirements are strictly enforced in most locations. "This is bear country so proper food storage is a must. Bear lockers are not provided," cautions one reviewer at Stokes State Forest, emphasizing the need to bring proper containment systems.
