Rustic cabins near Duryea provide overnight shelter with varying levels of amenities across multiple state parks and private campgrounds. Hickory Run State Park Campground offers cabins with electricity and basic furnishings, while Tobyhanna State Park provides similar accommodations with nearby shower facilities. Cabins at Lackawanna State Park include electric hookups with some offering more developed facilities. "My girlfriends and I just stayed in the yurts for annual glamping trip. The yurts have heat and fans. Full size refrigerator, stove and microwave. Each yurt has a huge deck, 2 picnic tables and fire pit," noted one visitor about similar accommodations at a nearby park. Keen Lake Resort Campground features cabin rentals with more complete amenities including water and electric service.
Options range from tiny log cabins to spacious family-sized layouts. Most park cabins accommodate 4-8 people with bunk bed configurations, while private resort cabins often feature more comfortable sleeping arrangements. Reservations are essential, particularly during the peak season from April through October when most parks are open. Many campgrounds restrict pets in cabin areas, though Highland Campgrounds and Cozy Creek Family Campground allow pets in their cabin accommodations. According to one visitor, "The cabins stay very warm with a wood burning stove - sometimes even too warm and windows need to stay cracked open. The cabins generally sleep 6-8 very comfortably with 4 double bunk beds in most."
Most cabins require visitors to bring their own linens, pillows, and cooking supplies. State park cabins typically include a refrigerator and stove but limited other amenities. Mount Pocono Campground and Hemlock Campground & Cottages provide more furnished cabin options with additional kitchen supplies included. Firewood is available for purchase at most locations, with several campgrounds offering on-site camp stores for basic provisions. A camper at one location noted, "The cabins have electricity and include a stove and refrigerator. There is no plumbing, so no sink or toilet but there are several very well maintained and equipped bathroom houses throughout the cabins area." Visitors should check specific cabin amenities when booking as furnishing levels vary significantly between rustic state park cabins and more developed private resort accommodations.

Peaceful State Park Camping in the Fall
This is a large campground with a wide array of campsites so be careful attention when you book online, especially if you have a pet because some sites are not pet-friendly. Some are 50-amp full hook-up and some are primitive with no hook-ups.
There is a nice nature center with interesting interpretive exhibits and lots of informational brochures including ones about the hiking trails, bears, scat and tracks of local animals, and fishing. Our site was at the edge of the campground and backed up to Route 534 which resulted in a bit of road noise at our site. Other than the road noise the campground was pretty quiet and was not very crowded when we camped there in October.
Not all sites are level and we happened to book one that was not and we had to live with a slant for our stay. The roads in the park are gravel/dirt and since it rained the day we arrived the roads were a muddy mess which made the roads slippery and there were lots of potholes. Unfortunately, some campers were disrespectful and left bags of trash in the fire pit and scattered around their site which was totally unnecessary because there were dumpsters plenty of dumpsters in the campground. Since we camped at Hickory Run late in the season, there were no camp hosts and the trash never got picked up.
The campground is open from mid-April to mid-December; however, the shower facilities and dump station are not available after the third week of October so plan accordingly. We really like the hiking trails which are of varying degrees of difficulty and lengths. The Hawk Falls is a nice easy walk (1.4 miles round-trip) to a waterfall but is extremely popular so don’t think you will be admiring the falls alone. The parking lot at this trail head fills up fast so you better get there early if you want to get a spot.
You can enter the park from two different directions. If you have a big-rig, it is best to approach from the east side. We made the mistake of coming in from the west side as we dropped down from I-80 and came down 534 and the road was really windy with no shoulder. Luckily, there was very little traffic so we could go 10 mph and safely navigate the roads.
Be aware alcohol is not allowed in PA state parks. This park does allow hunting in certain sections of the park. The no-hunting areas are clearly marked with white no hunting signs on trees and you can also pick up a brochure from the office that designates hunting and no-hunting sections.

Beautiful Falls!
What a great campground! We stayed here on a recommendation from a friend after the Overland Expo. Great hiking trails and the falls were absolutely breathtaking. Truly enjoyed our stay and plan to return!

Car camping
Stayed October 14 without reservations because website showed lots of availability. Office was closed (M-F 8-4) so submitted honor system envelope with cash and stayed at Site 041 on Carpenter loop. Shower building was a short walk and was spacious enough. Water temp didn’t quite reach hot but was warm enough.
Electric kept on tripping breaker.

Stay away... Unless you like 70 y/o men acting like high schoolers
This clothing-optional campground has a highly toxic, intrusive, and vindictive environment. During my stay, the seasonal permanent residents('perms') subjected me to intense harassment, inappropriate sexual advances, and severe social retaliation/rumor-spreading when those advances were rejected. The situation escalated to the point where an employee had to intervene for my safety. Furthermore, despite management allowing my photo to be taken in costume at a party, I was intentionally blocked from the community group where the photos were posted, leaving me unable to monitor how my image was being used. Avoid this place if you value your privacy, personal boundaries, and safety.

Beautiful forest
Gorgeous forested area in the Poconos. We stayed on the Rattlesnake Loop which was lovely. Sites not super private but most nestled in trees. The only bummer was that that Campground Loop didn’t have any direct links to the trail network and was far from it. The other Campground Loop was closer to trails and office. Would return!

Great off season camping
We camped here in our pop up for our Anniversary in November. We were impressed with the cleanliness and available amenities for the time of year we were camping in! Close proximity to DWG and PA AND NJ attractions.

Waterfall hiking: Ricketts Glen State Park offers 22 named waterfalls on its Falls Trail. "This place has so many beautiful waterfalls and sights to see!

The Falls Trail is 7.2 miles in total and is considered difficult due to steep and slippery terrain.
Lake activities: Lackawanna State Park offers a 198-acre lake for fishing and boating. "Campground has cabins and yurts, pull in sites for RV's and strictly walk in tent sites.
