7 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several campgrounds around Sunbury, Ohio provide furnished cabin rentals with varying amenities and comfort levels. The Sunbury/Columbus North KOA Holiday offers well-maintained cabins with separate sleeping areas, including a back room with bunk beds that sleeps four and a front room with a larger bed for two. Cardinal Center Campground features cabins without private bathrooms but conveniently located near public restrooms and shower facilities. Mohican State Park Campground, about 45 minutes northeast, provides both small camper cabins and larger riverfront cabins with beautiful interiors and comfortable beds. Some cabins include kitchenettes with refrigerators and microwaves, while others have more basic setups. According to one visitor at a KOA location, "The design is nice as the bunk beds are in their own separate room... They also included little tables and benches so you can organize yourself in the room."
Rustic and deluxe cabin options vary significantly across locations, with most requiring advance reservations, especially during summer months. Delaware State Park Campground offers yurts rather than traditional cabins, furnished with beds, tables, chairs, ceiling fans, and outdoor charcoal grills. Alum Creek State Park includes cabin accommodations with electricity, though specific amenities aren't extensively detailed in visitor reviews. Pet policies differ between locations, with Mohican State Park noting that only some of their larger cabins are pet-friendly. Cross Creek Camping Resort in Delaware provides cabin rentals alongside their extensive recreational facilities, which include a swimming pool, basketball courts, tennis courts, and a dog run. KOA cabins typically follow a standard layout with bunk beds and basic furnishings, designed primarily as sleeping quarters rather than full accommodations.
Most cabin rentals require guests to bring their own bedding, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary widely, from basic setups with mini-fridges and microwaves to more primitive options with no indoor cooking facilities. Health code regulations at some locations, like the KOA properties, prohibit indoor cooking, requiring food preparation at outdoor picnic tables or fire rings. On-site camp stores typically stock essentials like firewood, ice, snacks, and basic camping supplies. The Sunbury area has several grocery options within a short drive for more extensive provisioning. Visitors staying in cabins should check specific amenity lists before arrival, as even basic items like mirrors may not be provided in some locations. While cabin camping reduces the amount of equipment needed compared to tent camping, proper planning remains essential for a comfortable stay.

ScoutWe camped here for the first time this year and ended up booking 2 more trips here. We just finished our last trip. We love this campsite. No other place has sites this big and give you this much space. Awesome place to camp
ScoutCould not ask for a better site. Absolutely beautiful setting. A nice small lake for fishing, and a perfect shallow stream for kids to play in, running right by the sites. The pool house and facilities are spotlessly clean. On top of that, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. We even needed a jumpstart for our truck when we were towing the camper out on a rainy Monday morning and someone came around to help. 100% will come back and 100% would recommend to anyone.
ScoutRight close to Columbus this campground is a staple for locals trying to just get away for the weekend. There is an amphitheater, a camper’s beach, nature center, and more all within the campground. Alum creek state park is a larger facility surrounding the campground with a public beach, walking paths, mountain bike trails, archery range, hunting areas, boat marina and more. The public beach is rather gravelly but has nice shower houses and grills available. We are attending during fall fest where they put on many activities for the campers and it is a lot of fun. You have to reserve 6 months in advance to be able to get in on fall fest unless there is a last minute cancellation. Our site is relatively flat parking, we didn’t need to level the rig. It did rain the morning we got here and the area around the fire pit was a bit muddy. The view out the back of this camp site is nice and wooded, you’re not looking at your neighbors out the back window. The sides you can definitely see each other but it’s still wooded and secluded enough between the sites here.
RangerGreat campground. My favorite is each loop has their own shower house! Nice playgrounds for kids. Nice private sites. Lots of woods and trails. Good lake for boating fishing and kayaking. Park is very clean and well maintained. They have a kids fishing pond! It’s also great for biking.
Rangerwe come back to MW a few times each year as the access to the river and quiet nature of the campground is great. The playground is nice, the store is clean and well stocked.
RangerThis one is the closest to home! We love it here. Great Lake/reservoir for boating, kayaking swimming and fishing. Two Nice shower houses. Playground. Camp store! Updated fhu sites. Has a good size marina with Store in nature Center. Park is great for riding bikes.

Cabin camping near Sunbury, Ohio offers varied options for comfort and access to local outdoor activities. Located in central Ohio about 25 miles north of Columbus, the area sits at approximately 1,100 feet elevation with average summer temperatures ranging from 65-85°F. Many cabins require advance preparation as they feature different levels of furnishings and cooking facilities depending on location.
Hiking opportunities: At Alum Creek State Park Campground, visitors find numerous trails connecting to water activities. "There is a campground beach and boat launch. Lost of hiking paths in the campground and in the park area. A great dog park with lake entrance for the pups. There is also some mountain bike trails," notes Jill B.
Fishing spots: Cabin campers can access stocked fishing areas at several locations. "This is not a campground - it's more like a park. It does have good fishing and a playground, and it is a good place for a cookout," explains Sarah W. about certain areas of Alum Creek.
Shooting activities: Cardinal Center Campground provides unique recreational options beyond standard camping. According to Andrea F., "We have visited the Cardinal Center several times for shooting and waterfowl events but did camp there for the first time over Thanksgiving. They have a nice indoor pool and shower rooms attached." The facility includes archery, pistol, and rifle ranges.
Spacious, private sites: Many campers appreciate the layout and privacy at Delaware State Park Campground. One visitor, Maddy B., shares, "This is probably our favourite state park we have been to thus far. The best thing about this campground is the fact that all the sites have privacy. There are nice trails to walk and the bathrooms are the best I've seen at a campground."
Year-round availability: Some cabin camping options remain open during winter months. "Absolutely beautiful & great trails. First come first serve in the winter. One heated bathroom with a shower is open in the winter," reports Renée C. about Mohican State Park Campground.
Family-oriented amenities: Sites with recreational facilities rank highly. "We had an absolute blast at the campsite! We stayed in L and the kids loved being close to the water. The campground beach is an absolute must and we even got close to wildlife (aka some pesky raccoons)," says Jenny C. about Alum Creek State Park.
Weather preparedness: Cabins provide shelter but may not protect against all elements. "Sites are nice with some sites able to boat up to them. Be careful with rainy weather, some sites have flooded in poor weather," advises Katelyn P. from Alum Creek State Park.
Site selection matters: Different cabin locations offer varying experiences. "The sites in the middle tend to be more like your normal site with grass and fire rings. The outside sites are mostly gravel with not every site having a fire ring. We ended up making our own with big rocks," explains Kelly L. about Cross Creek Camping Resort.
Cell service varies: Connectivity differs by location. "No cell service with Verizon at this park," notes Andrea F. about Mohican State Park Campground, which matters when planning for emergency communication.
Activity planning: Family-oriented campgrounds schedule regular events. "The recreation activities are fun and include bingo, crafts and archery. Small crafts as part of recreation activities are free. Larger projects such as ceramics or wood burning have a fee," explains Bill T. about Columbus Jellystone.
Water features: Look for cabins near swimming opportunities. "They have a small swimming pool and a lake with water slides, wibit, and paddle boats. They offer crafts and other daily activities," Renee L. notes about Columbus Jellystone.
Playground access: Multiple play areas keep children entertained. "We had a good site in loop M. The bathrooms and showers were some of the least clean we have ever seen," reports Thomas M. about Alum Creek, highlighting the importance of checking facility conditions.
Site leveling: Some cabin areas share terrain challenges with RV sites. "Our site had a real pain setting up. Staff was very nice. Nice pool. Lots of activities for kids," notes Lisa H. about Cross Creek Camping Resort.
Seasonal considerations: Off-season stays offer different experiences. "Camping in the off season is our favorite time of year. This particular park has potable water on by the dump station and the dump station is open. The water at the full hook up sites are turned off," advises Andrea F. about Mohican State Park.
Reservation timing: Many popular cabin locations book quickly. As Catherine notes about Alum Creek, "The prices here are reasonable, however most sites are booked by seasonal campers who pay for the whole season and leave their RV/set-ups in one place the whole season, so all the choice sites (ie lakefront) are always taken."
