1 campground with availability this weekend
Sebago Cabin Camp in Harriman State Park provides rustic cabins without plumbing or heat. "They have rustic cabins. These do not have plumbing or heat. It is a step up from cabin camping," notes one visitor. The Stephen & Betsy Corman AMC Harriman Outdoor Center also offers cabin accommodations with electric hookups. Croton Point Park in Croton-on-Hudson maintains year-round cabin rentals with electricity, drinking water, and shower facilities. West Point FMWR Round Pond Recreation Area features cabins with more extensive amenities including electric hookups, sewer connections, and shower facilities. Most cabins include basic furnishings such as beds, tables, and chairs, though specific amenities vary by location.
Rustic cabins predominate in the state parks, while more developed cabin options exist at private campgrounds like Jellystone Park Gardiner. A review of Stokes State Forest cabins noted, "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." Most locations require advance reservations, particularly during summer months. Pet policies vary significantly - Croton Point Park and Sebago Cabin Camp allow pets, while Camp Glen Gray prohibits them. Cabin rental rates typically range from $100-200 per night depending on size, amenities, and season.
Most cabins include vinyl-covered mattresses but require visitors to bring their own bedding, pillows, and towels. Kitchen facilities vary widely - some cabins offer refrigerators and electric stoves while others provide only outdoor fire rings with cooking grates. Camp stores at locations like Jellystone Park Gardiner and West Point FMWR facilities stock basic supplies, firewood, and some grocery items. Campers staying at more remote cabins should arrive prepared with all necessary supplies. Firewood is available for purchase at most park offices or from roadside vendors near campground entrances.

"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."
"Site#22 included a large concrete pad, picnic table, charcoal grill, and large fire ring. Everything was in great condition. It was nice having plenty of space to not be on top of our neighbors."
"One rustic place with many hiking trails to choose from. Camp also provides trucking of gear weather permitting. No vehicles allowed to drive through camp. Trading Post for treats and other items."

"Fire pit with grill and picnic table."
"Camping for summer is pretty limited to Sawmill Lake, as the other locations are for groups or winter camping."

from $5 - $20 / night
GuideMade a reservation (site44) since I arrived as the sun had set. Office registration was open until 8. Staff was neither friendly nor unfriendly. Bathroom was dated but fine and a short walk from my site. CG was emptier being a Tuesday night in mid-October, so was plenty of space.
Great trail following the Hudson River. Beautiful fall colors.
RangerI'll start by saying this is a site-specific review (C20). I booked using Campspot and didn't select my own site but put in the criteria for my rig (30ft TT plus truck) and got a 50A back-in spot. The site was big but abnormal. Between the picnic table placement and the trees, I ended up right around 50ft from the electric and water, and the water spigot was so low I could barely put on my camco filter. With the uneven dirt roads, I had to unhitch with my truck in a gigantic puddle (lol). The site was otherwise fine aside from my gate code not working on Day 2. As for the campground as a whole, I thought it was pretty unique place by the river that offered several good amenities and activities, like downstream river tubing, an arcade, bathroom/shower facilities, a small store, little trails, and more. I would say this place borders the more primitive side.
ScoutWe reserved for a day. Very bad service. The river is super dirty and they did not even clean the trash cans. Besides, the fire ring has no grill cooking grate, so if you don’t bring your own NO GRILLING. Ryan was the person in front that took care of us, he was rude, my kids felt weird because he was not welcoming at all. Also, we try to ask for a partial refund since we did not felt comfortable since the beginning, and they said NO. We have experience camping, but this one was simply THE WORST. We lost the money but we won’t put our kids in a difficult situation. Thanks.
ScoutWe stay at a lot of Jellystone parks so have become accustomed to the park layouts and activities. This one was well maintained with clean facilities. Some things like the mini golf and fire pits needed maintenance. The pools were nice but get very busy later in the day. The sites up on the hills are nice but beware, it’s a hill! There is little to no WiFi or cell service or it gets easily bogged down, so be ready for that. Food was basic but good. Some activities like bingo were a bit chaotic and there were a lot of ground hornets around the jumping pillows. Would totally go again.
LegendExcellent campground! The forest is beautiful, the Hudson River is super close, there are great trails, and the surrounding area is beautiful. Sites are electric only, so make sure your water pump is working and fresh water tank is full. There are spigots for filling and a nice dump station. The player is excellent. I don't think tetn camping here would be great because the tent sites are closer together and there are trains that pass regularly. We couldn't hear the trains in our camper and our site was large and private with great Forest and hammock trees. The mansion tours at Vanderbilt and Mills were awesome!
ScoutThe main issue with the sites was that they were primitive -- no water. The campsites were basically just wooden platforms, with a picnic table and fire pit. There were also a lot of bugs, though this may be due to the rain. The location itself was fairly pretty and there were a number of hiking trails of not-overly-serious difficulty. The particular site we picked left is a little farther from our car than we would have liked, but for other sites you can bring your car closer.
TravelerThe campground was closed in 2024 for renovations. It is now open. I did a tour of the campgrounds but did not stay there. FYI, generators are NOT allowed at all at this campground. I did not see electric or water hookups. There are three loops. Each has it pros/cons. Sites 30-33 are near the bathroom facilities, sites 34-50 are more secluded, sites 52-65 are closer to the lake.
GuideSpent one night here. The park is quiet. The facilities are a little outdated, although they said that newer ones had been built by the marina. I wasn’t up for the 15 minute walk, having just hiked up a mountain. My spot included electrical and water hook ups.
TravelerCampground: 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)

Water recreation: Camping at Sebago Cabin Camp provides lake access. A camper recommends: "Near lake Welch- which is phenomenal for easy nearly-beach like camping.

Platform camping: Mahlon Dickerson Reservation provides elevated tent platforms for better camping comfort. One visitor notes, "They have these 12x12 platforms to put your tent on. This was pretty cool especially since some of the sites are all gravel with surrounding dirt. The sites are very large and I suggest site 7."
Recreation facilities: Jellystone Park Gardiner features family-oriented amenities near the cabin areas. "Nice pool that is shallow so you can relax and let the little ones go in the water park section alone or they have a 3 ft pool also.

Reservation requirements: Most cabin facilities near Stony Point require advance planning. The Stephen & Betsy Corman AMC Harriman Outdoor Center offers structured booking. A camper explains, "I camped on one of the platforms, which was very nice and did not feel crowded even with other people on neighboring platforms. One highlight was having meals cooked by the stellar chef."
Noise considerations: Sound carries between sites at some locations. One Croton Point Park visitor reports, "The site was very loud (dance music) until after 11pm. Quiet time at 10pm. Great site for a party, try to stay away from this end of the site or choose a site away from other bookings if you'd like quiet."
Varying bathroom facilities: Bathroom quality varies significantly between locations. A High Point State Park user notes, "Clean-ish bathrooms with flush toilets, no sinks, no showers, with that awful outhouse smell.
