3 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Cabin accommodations near Gladwyne provide options ranging from rustic woodland shelters to fully furnished units with modern amenities. Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA offers cabin rentals with electric hookups, picnic tables, and fire rings, while Nockamixon State Park Cabins feature electricity, water, and sewer hookups in a more natural setting. A review mentioned that "the bathroom inside was spectacularly clean with a shower stall with built-in shelves that seemed brand new, and a mirror above the sink that opens for a medicine cabinet." Most cabins include basic furnishings such as bunk beds, tables, and chairs, though layouts and amenities vary significantly between locations.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. French Creek State Park offers yurts alongside traditional cabins, while Wharton State Forest's Atsion Cabins provide waterfront options with screened porches. Reservations are typically required months in advance, especially for summer weekends. Many campgrounds restrict pets in cabins or charge additional fees for pet-friendly units. A camper wrote, "The cabins must be reserved in advance and a multiple night rental is necessary. They book quickly during the busy season." Several cabin locations close during winter months, with seasonal operations typically running from April through October.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary widely, from primitive cabins with no cooking facilities to deluxe units with full kitchens including refrigerators, stoves, and sinks. Several camp stores offer basic supplies, firewood, and ice, though selection is limited. For comprehensive grocery shopping, visitors should stock up before arrival. Camp stores at KOA locations tend to be better stocked than those at state park facilities. Visitors should check specific amenity lists when booking, as heating and cooling systems differ significantly between locations, with some cabins relying on wood stoves for heat and lacking air conditioning entirely.
"The neighbor’s sewer connection is right next to our picnic table! But, the sites are large enough for large RVs, they have 30/50 amp hookups and water & sewer."

"Two of the loops allow pets (A, C) and two do not. Loop D offers no hookups while Loops A-C offer a mix of no hookups, water/Electric, and full hookups."
"We stayed in loop C that allows pets. Very spacious sites. The paved parking spot was tight but a short walk down to the spacious fire pit picnic table area."

TravelerCountry Acres is a lovely, well maintained campground. Sites are level and bath house facilities clean and modern. Friendly staff in the office. Dog friendly. Local to all the Lancaster attractions. A complimentary farmland tour is offered by bus and it was great. They take you out into an area of Amish farms and shops and make a stop at 2 of these. The fresh Amish pretzels are amazing!
ScoutThe advertisements for Olde Mill Campground were disingenuous. The campsite was 20 yards from a roller coaster. The NOISE of the roller coaster and children on it screaming was as relentless and unnerving as any train we have ever slept near. There was no quiet until almost midnight. The “pull-through” site left my truck almost in the road and our 25’ Airstream slightly over the road on the backside. The site was not level. The sites were close enough to hear a neighbor’s snoring.
GuideThis campground is part of the Wharton State Forest and has several campgrounds in the area. Great wooded sites right on a lake. Pretty good separation between sites with good tree separation between sites. Some road noise not overly affecting site.
ScoutRestrooms are filthy with mold and mildew.
Water puddled on the restroom floor.really gross.
Cabin was mostly clean. The windows were full of dirt and bugs on the tracks.mattresses were terrible.The fireplace was nice. Kitchen was clean.
Can t wait to move on to a cleaner park.
GuideWe stayed here to go to the Hershey RV show—about 55 min drive. Right in the center of Amish country. Campground is adults only. It was very clean. The bathrooms were very clean with great water pressure. The roads are tight for getting into sites. Site 5 was not level side to side. We met great people there.
ScoutThe campground is in excellent condition. The facilities are top notch. The excellence and care of the campground is evident. The 4 stars is only due to the road noise and many of the sites are on top of each other. You feel like your neighbor is at your camp fire.
GuideBeautiful campground but made the mistake of going on a holiday weekend, the campgrounds next to us were screaming and blasting music all day and throughout the night so we ended up leaving early. A beautiful campground when there aren’t noisy capers ruining it.
ScoutAs far as experience it was good. The main issue was the campsite where we were was uneven and caused many of the sleeping arrangements that we had to be not level. This seems to be a specific issue to the group campsite number two as when we went inwards it seemed like everything else was much better.
GuideMary & her crew run a great campground. Full hookup. Slow schedule during the week-camp store & pool mainly. Saturdays always have activities planned from bingo to quarter auctions, picnics & music. Each Saturday is different. Clean grounds. Nice playgrounds. Kiddie pool & nice size pool from 3-5’ deep. 2 cabins also available.
