Best Cabin Camping near Emigsville, PA
Gifford Pinchot State Park Campground and Codorus State Park Campground offer rustic cabin accommodations within 20 miles of Emigsville, Pennsylvania. These state park cabins feature electricity, basic furniture, and simple heating systems, with most providing bunk beds, double beds, and dining tables. "The cabin was a standard rustic-type state park cabin, with one double bed, one single twin bunk, and one regular set of bunk beds, so it sleeps 5-6 comfortably. There was also a sturdy dining room table with chairs and an oscillating fan inside," notes one visitor to Gifford Pinchot. Some cabins include front porches with lake views, while others are positioned in wooded settings offering more privacy and shade. Bathroom facilities are typically located in nearby bathhouses rather than inside basic cabins.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Elizabethtown-Hershey KOA, Thousand Trails Gettysburg Farm, and Hersheypark Camping Resort all maintain cabin rentals with varying levels of amenities. A recent review mentioned that the Hersheypark cabins are convenient but crowded: "The ONLY good thing this RV park has going is the Hersey park bus that runs all day back and forth." Pet policies differ significantly between locations, with some cabins permitting pets for an additional fee while others prohibit them entirely. Reservations are essential, particularly during summer months when cabin rentals often book completely months in advance. Cedar Lake Family Campground remains open year-round for those seeking winter cabin experiences.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. According to feedback on The Dyrt, "The one we stayed in had a set of bunk beds, a queen bed, and a fold out couch. It also had a bathroom with shower/tub and everything you would need except linens." Cooking facilities vary widely between properties, with some offering only outdoor fire rings with grills while deluxe units may include refrigerators and microwaves. Firewood is available for purchase at most locations, typically priced around $5 per bundle. Camp stores at locations like Pinch Pond Family Campground stock basic groceries, though larger shopping options can be found in nearby towns. The more remote cabin locations have limited cell service but increasingly offer Wi-Fi access for an additional fee.
