Camping cabins near Easton, Pennsylvania range from basic to modern options within 30-45 minutes of town. The area sits at the junction of the Lehigh and Delaware rivers with elevations between 200-1,500 feet, creating diverse camping environments from riverside settings to mountain retreats. Winter temperatures often drop below freezing from December through February, making seasonal availability an important consideration for cabin campers.
What to do
Hike to mountain viewpoints: At Hickory Run State Park Campground, visitors can explore 44 miles of trails ranging from easy to difficult. "The boulder field was the highlight of our camping trip. The campground has great playgrounds, several well-marked trails, and functional (if dirty and rustic) restrooms and showers," notes one camper who rated their experience positively.
Visit wildlife preserves: Camp Taylor Campground offers direct access to the Lakota Wolf Preserve with discounted tours for campers. "There is a section of RV spots that are each cut out in the woods so very private. You can take a short hike up the mountain there to see the wolves in the sanctuary. There are moments by the fire you can hear them howl in the distance," reports a visitor who rated the experience 5 stars.
Fish in local waters: Spruce Run Recreation Area provides waterfront sites with fishing access. "The sites are large, many have nice mix of sun and shade. You can launch your kayak easily from the shore," explains one regular visitor. Sites directly on the water provide convenient fishing access, though they typically lack hookups.
What campers like
Private tent sites: Ringing Rocks Family Campground offers secluded tent sites away from RV areas. "Great secluded sites with clean facilities for when you need some civilization," mentions one camper. The campground is near the actual Ringing Rocks Park where visitors can create music by hitting the rocks with hammers.
Clean facilities: Many campers appreciate Mountain View Campground's well-maintained amenities. "Bath stalls and showers are basic but clean. Great spot for stargazing. Owners are very nice," writes one visitor who stayed at a primitive site. The campground offers sites with varying levels of privacy and amenities.
Spacious sites: Campers frequently mention the generous sizing of sites at Tohickon Valley County Park. "It's a small state run campground for tent camping. All the sites have a ton of room to stretch out! (Room for fire/grill pits)," notes one visitor. The sites feature fire rings with cooking grates for meal preparation.
What you should know
Seasonal restrictions: Most cabin options have limited availability during winter months. "We went on Halloween weekend and they had so much for the kids to do! Friendly staff and clean sites!" notes a visitor to Ringing Rocks Family Campground, which operates from April 1 to October 31.
Pet policies vary significantly: Camp Taylor Campground welcomes dogs throughout the property. "Dog friendly!" mentions one reviewer, though they note dogs aren't allowed in the wolf preserve section. Meanwhile, Spruce Run Recreation Area prohibits pets entirely.
Bathroom access considerations: At Little Red Barn Campground, bathroom location can be an issue. "Primitive sites are very private, friendly staff, clean grounds. Only one bathroom and it's very far from the primitive sites," warns a tent camper who stayed at site 31.
Tips for camping with families
Look for activity-rich campgrounds: Colonial Woods Family Resort offers numerous family amenities. "The pool and splash pool for toddlers was clean with a lifeguard on duty at all times. They had a playground, lake where you could fish, cornhole, and minigolf," explains a camper who visited with children.
Consider cabin options for beginners: Nockamixon State Park Cabins provide comfortable shelter for families new to camping. "The cabins are full electric with heat and are well appointed. It was an excellent fall trip location for a family with young children," shares one visitor who appreciated the modern amenities.
Reserve water-adjacent sites early: Water sites at Spruce Run Recreation Area are popular for families. "Many sites have a lovely water view of the reservoir. Several playgrounds, boat launches, and life guarded swimming area," reports a camper who enjoyed the family-friendly setting.
Tips from RVers
Check site dimensions carefully: Quakerwoods Campground offers various RV site configurations. "This campground is perfect for a getaway if what you're looking for is no more than spending some time in nature. The property is well kept and campsites are a good distance from each other," notes a camper who visited multiple times.
Navigate narrow roads cautiously: Many campgrounds in the region have challenging access. "The roads are very narrow, pretty sizable boulders on both sides, trees are very low and need to be trimmed," warns an RVer with a fifth wheel who visited Colonial Woods Family Resort.
Plan for limited hookup options: RV sites with full hookups may require trading off privacy or views. "There are some RV sites with water & electric which are not on the water, but in the parking lot. I would consider getting one on the water to enjoy the water and one in the parking lot to hook up the RV," suggests a visitor to Spruce Run Recreation Area.
