Pet policies vary significantly between locations, with some state park cabins prohibiting pets entirely while private campgrounds like Mountain Vista Campground welcome them for an additional fee. Most cabins include outdoor fire rings and picnic tables, though interior amenities differ widely. Stokes State Forest cabins feature vinyl-covered mattresses, wood stoves, and basic kitchen facilities. A visitor noted, "The cabins are reasonably priced and well-appointed, if a bit rustic.

Cabin campers should pack bedding, cooking supplies, and food provisions when staying in the Delaware Water Gap region.

Firewood is available for purchase at most campground offices or from local vendors, though quality varies. Camp stores at locations like Camp Taylor offer essential items including ice, snacks, and s'mores ingredients. For more substantial grocery needs, visitors must travel to nearby towns.
