    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.

    Jenny Jump State Forest

    Cute Comfortable Shelter

    This is the first time we decided to forgo tent camping and reserve a shelter at a state park. We had a much better experience than we were expecting! The "shelter" is what we would describe as a "cabin"; four walls, a roof, locking door, locking windows, large picture frame front window, four beds(two bunks), a wood burning stove, and a porch. Even compared to our glamping this was luxury!!

    There are eight shelters at Jenny Jump State Park. Shelter 2 is a minute walk from the restroom with sink/shower and water. Shelters 7 & 8 are even closer while 4 & 5 are the furthest, may an extra 5 minutes walk? The dead end means there isn't too much traffic, though the road is right there so you can wave to the other campers heading to the restroom or for hikes. There is a trail head at one of the parking lots. During the day the parking lots filled up and there was some overflow parking for day-hikers across the road. We got to see their dogs, so that was a bonus for us! Otherwise, this shelter is not situated too close to the other shelters and feels very private.

    We brought battery-powered lights since there is no electricity. There were coat hooks and a built-in shelf for our snacks, games, and other supplies. There was a picnic table and benches inside. We brought camping chairs for relaxing on the porch. We spent most of our time on the porch; cooking, chatting, and crafting while enjoying the sunshine and breeze.

    Oh, this shelter is wheelchair accessible. Some of the others are not.

    Delaware Water Gap / Pocono Mountain KOA

    It's a KOA

    Its our first stop of many and we wanted to shake out any glitches with our new camper at a public campground. The staff are very helpful and accommodateing. This campground although dated offers all the necessary comforts-Wifi, hot showers, electric etc. Currently, there are various updates occurring: additional sites, new tiny cabins, WIFI and electric are also being modernized. We opted to relocate to a site with less construction occurring and although you can still hear back hoes etc-our view has much improved. We wish there was easier access to bike and hike trails so we didn't have to drive to a location but overall a comfortable and positive experience.

    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.

    Camp Taylor Campground

    Great as long as you behave

    Having been here on a few occasions I will say it is def a beautiful spot in many regards. However, there are some downsides.

    Positives: sites are decent sized with fire pits and picnic tables. easy access to hiking, convenient to a beautiful vineyard, peaceful region, and the most amazing wolf preserve is right next to you.  

    Negative: limited access to firewood. sites are picked clean, quiet hours are strongly enforced- which can be a good thing depending upon who you are, the lake is anything but refreshing.

    Delaware Water Gap / Pocono Mountain KOA

    Large area, family friendly!

    Delaware Water Gap was a massive campground that was incredibly well kept and had spaces for both RVs and primitive camping. The site was very kid and pet friendly, outfitted with both a pet and children's playground(see pictures and videos). The primitive sites were separated from the RV area which is nice because it felt like we had more privacy that way. Each site had its own fire pit as well. If you stay here, be aware of the wild grouse that roam the whole campground!

    Jellystone Park Gardiner

    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.

    Yogi 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!


Guide to Suffern

Cabin accommodations near Suffern, New York center around Harriman State Park at elevations of 500-1,400 feet. The region experiences all four seasons distinctly, with summer highs averaging 80°F and winter temperatures frequently below freezing. Several military-only camping facilities operate in the area alongside public options, creating a diverse mix of cabin rental opportunities with varying levels of accessibility.

What to do

Waterfront activities: At The Stephen & Betsy Corman AMC Harriman Outdoor Center, campers can enjoy paddling and swimming on a serene lake. "You can also rent canoes and take them out on the lake for an afternoon activity," notes Ethan K., who enjoyed the platform camping areas. The lake supports wildlife viewing opportunities, as Ilya F. mentions: "The lake is very peaceful, and home to beavers we watched from the dining hall patio."

Hiking options: The region contains extensive trail networks connecting multiple recreation areas. At Camp Glen Gray, visitors report "many hiking trails to choose from" with Jose N. noting it as "One rustic place with many hiking trails to choose from." For more challenging terrain, Stokes State Forest offers "21 marked trails that cover over 63 miles" with twelve miles connecting to the Appalachian Trail.

Winter exploration: While most cabin-focused reviews discuss summer activities, many facilities operate year-round. According to W L., cabins at Stokes State Forest feature "a wood stove set into a fireplace" making winter stays comfortable. The cabin interiors include "hot/cold water, electric stove with oven, refrigerator, toilet, bathroom sink, mirror, plenty of hooks to hang jackets and coats."

What campers like

Military-focused facilities: West Point FMWR Round Pond Outdoor Recreation Area receives consistently positive reviews from military families. One veteran writes, "We've been coming here for at least 13 years. We love that its a place specifically for Vets and active Military," noting that "everyone is amazingly respectful of each other and the caretakers take such care of the grounds."

Meal options: Some cabin facilities offer dining services that enhance the camping experience. At AMC Harriman, Ilya F. highlights that "One highlight was having meals cooked by the stellar chef." Similarly, Thomas M. advises, "They offer a meal plan (Option for breakfast, lunch, dinner) that you can get at their dinning hall and I HIGHLY recommend that option. Worth the added cost."

Proximity to NYC: Several cabin locations tout their accessibility from urban areas. Sebago Cabin Camp is praised for being "only an hour away from NYC with so much to do and see" according to Sara P., who appreciated the lack of phone service as "AMAZING." Esther L. simply states it's "Close enough to the city, far enough to enjoy the nature."

What you should know

Cabin amenities vary significantly: Basic cabins may offer little more than shelter, while others provide kitchen facilities and bathrooms. For example, Katharine T. describes Sebago cabins as "'rustic' - but there's what you need: cots, electricity, a fridge. Ignore the hotplate and just cook on a fire out other outdoor set up." She recommends visiting nearby Lake Welch for swimming rather than expecting water access at the cabin site.
