Promised Land State Park features rustic cabins at both Pickerel Point and Lower Lake campgrounds, equipped with electricity, beds, picnic tables, and fire rings. Keen Lake Resort Campground provides cabins with more modern amenities, including electric hookups and options for water service. "Rented a cabin in November (#009) and again in December (#008) of 2021. I favored Cabin 8, the kitchen and bathroom were separated from the main room. The cabins are reasonably priced and well-appointed, if a bit rustic," noted one visitor. Secluded Acres Campground and Honesdale-Poconos KOA also maintain cabin rentals with electric service and basic furnishings.

Rustic cabins typically include beds with vinyl-covered mattresses, wood stoves or electric heat, tables, and basic kitchen facilities. Many locations offer pet-friendly cabin options, though additional fees may apply. Reservations are essential during peak seasons from May through October, with some facilities operating year-round. A visitor to Tobyhanna State Park reported, "We had a wonderful time here. We went for Father's Day weekend in June. The lake is gorgeous! Beachfront swimming and boat rentals, great biking and hiking trails." Most cabins require advance booking through reservation systems or by phone, with cancellation policies varying by location.

Most cabin rentals provide beds but require guests to bring their own linens, pillows, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities range from basic countertops with electric outlets to fully equipped kitchens with refrigerators and stovetops. Campground stores at locations like Keen Lake Resort and Honesdale-Poconos KOA sell firewood, ice, and limited groceries. According to feedback on The Dyrt, "The cabins are reasonably priced and well-appointed, if a bit rustic. The interior features are just what you'd expect for getting away for the weekend." For extended stays, visitors should plan to bring or purchase additional supplies from general stores in nearby communities.

    Oneida Campground & Lodge

    Nestled back in the forest.

    Great themed weekends all season long. Tent, RV, and cabin sites available. Went first time in cabin rental. Nice room, amenities, and fire ring. Small but nice little getaway.

    Stokes State Forest

    Cozy Cabins and Serene Trails

    Rented a cabin in November (#009) and again in December (#008) of 2021. I favored Cabin 8, the kitchen and bathroom were separated from the main room.

    The cabins are reasonably priced and well-appointed, if a bit rustic. The interior features are just what you'd expect for getting away for the weekend. THe main room has a bunk bed and two twins, a table with benches, two Adirondack chairs, a wood stove set into a fireplace (some cabins still feature a fireplace only, but these two did not), hot/cold water, electric stove with oven, refrigerator, toilet, bathroom sink, mirror, plenty of hooks to hang jackets and coats, storage cabinets in the kitchen area, overhead lighting, wall outlets, and screened windows.

    The doors feature deadbolt locks - so be sure to always take the key or set the lock to be unlocked all the time.

    The mattresses are vinyl covered, so you can wipe them down with your own sanitizing wipes. There was hand sanitizer in each cabin as well.

    Outside is a picnic table, fire ring, and grill. There are hooks near the door to hang a lantern.

    The park office is not nearby, about 2(?) miles away. They sell wood, and there are a few road stands near the campground, but that wood is wet. You'll need to find some birch to get your fire going if, like me, you didn't buy wood on the way (plenty of signs for wood as you approach the park office) and the office was closed upon arrival. I bought wood from a house across the street from the entrance to the cabins and it was damp, but in November, I wasn't complaining, it took awhile but I got a nice blaze going. You need that wood stove to heat up the cabin. Turning on the oven is a help, but not a good solution. The wood stove definitely heats the room up nicely. I went through two bundles of wood in one night, and could have used more in the morning. (There's plenty of fallen wood around but it was damp/raining both times I visited). The second time I took six bundles of wood and used them all from Friday to Sunday morning, and 7 would've have been better.

    The trails nearby are varied, read the maps (especially NY NJ Trail Conference Maps) to get an idea of difficulty/elevation. We went in November when there was a light rain that turned into a thunderstorm with hail and sleet! It was certainly an adventure. The area was  incredibly peaceful in December with many cabin reservations abandoned due to rain in the forecast. It did rain, but was still a great trip. The photos of the tent sites were taken in December.

    Jenny Jump State Forest

    Cute Comfortable Shelter

    This is the first time we decided to forgo tent camping and reserve a shelter at a state park. We had a much better experience than we were expecting! The "shelter" is what we would describe as a "cabin"; four walls, a roof, locking door, locking windows, large picture frame front window, four beds(two bunks), a wood burning stove, and a porch. Even compared to our glamping this was luxury!!

    There are eight shelters at Jenny Jump State Park. Shelter 2 is a minute walk from the restroom with sink/shower and water. Shelters 7 & 8 are even closer while 4 & 5 are the furthest, may an extra 5 minutes walk? The dead end means there isn't too much traffic, though the road is right there so you can wave to the other campers heading to the restroom or for hikes. There is a trail head at one of the parking lots. During the day the parking lots filled up and there was some overflow parking for day-hikers across the road. We got to see their dogs, so that was a bonus for us! Otherwise, this shelter is not situated too close to the other shelters and feels very private.

    We brought battery-powered lights since there is no electricity. There were coat hooks and a built-in shelf for our snacks, games, and other supplies. There was a picnic table and benches inside. We brought camping chairs for relaxing on the porch. We spent most of our time on the porch; cooking, chatting, and crafting while enjoying the sunshine and breeze.

    Oh, this shelter is wheelchair accessible. Some of the others are not.

    Tobyhanna State Park Campground

    Good campground for families.

    My dog and I stayed for 2 nights in the rustic tenting area. We were the only campers Wednesday & Thursday. The family camp area features spaces (small areas for either RV campers or tents and cars) with a picnic table and fire ring and water (some have electricity). They also have shared facilities such as bathrooms and showers. However, they seemed a little too cramped fir me and I wasn’t looking for opportunities to socialize, so the remote tent site was my choice. The tent sites do not have water or electric, but do have picnic tables, a fire ring and share one large outhouse with clean pit toilets. There are 5 sites and they can accommodate (shared) multiple tent set ups. Also you need to park your vehicle in a designated lot which is very close to the sites. There are multiple easy hiking and biking trails that are well marked. A lake for fishing and a small sandy beach with a picnic area for families (unfortunately no dogs are allowed on the beach). There are 2 boat launch areas (one for the campers, and another for gen. public) which also has a boat rental business (dogs are allowed). There are black bears in the park so do not leave food out and dispose of all trash in the appropriate dumpsters.

    Delaware Water Gap / Pocono Mountain KOA

    It's a KOA

    Its our first stop of many and we wanted to shake out any glitches with our new camper at a public campground. The staff are very helpful and accommodateing. This campground although dated offers all the necessary comforts-Wifi, hot showers, electric etc. Currently, there are various updates occurring: additional sites, new tiny cabins, WIFI and electric are also being modernized. We opted to relocate to a site with less construction occurring and although you can still hear back hoes etc-our view has much improved. We wish there was easier access to bike and hike trails so we didn't have to drive to a location but overall a comfortable and positive experience.

    High Point State Park Campground

    Relaxing and Well-Maintained

    Stayed 2 nights and it was really nice. Camping for summer is pretty limited to Sawmill Lake, as the other locations are for groups or winter camping. Camps are secluded from each other and most if not all have an elevated space to put tents or chairs. Each place comes with a lamp hang, a fire pit, and a picnic table. Bathrooms are spaced out. No running water except for pump founded outside of the bathrooms. Toilets are pump flushed. Showers are only located INSIDE High Point State Park, not throughout the campsites, but entry is free for campers. One hiking trail is accessible in Sawmill campground, 3 others are accessible on the road outside of the campground and the rest are located inside the park. When you arrive you have to check in with the park office for your campsite tag. Hours are 8-4. Park officials come through the campsites pretty regularly, a few times a day which is nice. Areas are clean and well maintained.

    Salt Springs State Park Campground

    Unique park with unique natural features

    This park is technically a “state park” because the land for it was donated to the state for public use. However, once the state became the official stewards, there werent funds in the state budget to maintain it as a park. A lical group, the Friends of Salt Springs, stepped up and offered to maintain the park with funds raised by their group. The result is a small but unique property open to the public for day use (picnicking and hiking and fishing) along with 2 small rustic campgrounds. One campground has a large open mowed grassy meadow with level sites for car camping or small campers, no hookups are available but each site has a fire ring and picnic table. On the other side of the parks trout stream are seven secluded primitive hike-in tent sites along with three basic camper cabins. The Friends of Salt Springs makes a good effort to maintain these two rustic campgrounds, however it seems there isnt a ranger on site at night so a camper said the meadow campground can get a little noisy some nights. The hike in sites are relatively quiet and secluded though, and are positioned nicely along the stream, one site actually adjacent to a good swimming hole.

    The camper cabins are basic with bunks, bring all your own gear. They are fairly new and have electricity but no water or heat.

    On the grounds in the day use area are picnic spits, a pavilion, and an activity barn. When I was there, the barn was featuring a local quilt show.

    The special aspect of this park are the hiking trails through old growth hemlock forest, said to be the largest hemlocks in Pennsylvania. The trout stream also cascades through some some waterfalls, and there are gorges with unique geology.

    There is a village nearby with limited supplies, you may want to stock up on groceries before heading out to this somewhat remote park. There is, however, a local brewery, plus an odd coffee shop featuring both donuts and ammo, an unusual combination…..

    Soaring Eagle Campground and the Inn at Kellam's Bridge

    I have never stayed at the Inn but have been camping on the river for 15 years

    I love the property and the family that operates it. My son had his first camping trip there when he was ten days old. It is great family camp ground with amenities that are helpful to parents and new campers such as restrooms, showers, camp shop, canoe/kayak/tube rentals and designated drive in sites with fire ring and table. As well as sites with water/ electric hookup. Yet, it still manages to maintain a more remote and rustic feel by preserving the trees, stream and riverfront property in a mutual state without concrete pads or driveways. There is no commercial aspect that I find when at most “family” parks with pools, arcades and cabins. The sites are larger than most campgrounds and well spaced out. I have been there on busy holiday weekends where it was full but still peaceful and private with a great community of campers and on weekdays and off weekends when it felt as if I had the river to myself. I have never had a bad experience in at least 20 trips.

    Mountain Vista Campground

    Friendly Campground

    Set on a hillside, the campground has three levels. The tent sites all have water & electric, and have a picnic table and fire ring. The sites are fully shaded. Facilities were neat & clean, and there was a covered verandah with string lights, chairs & picnic tables outside the bathroom area.

    Campground staff were friendly, and there was a store with firewood, ice and many other conveniences. Wifi was available, and connection was good the entire time I was there.

    The campground is convenient to many hikes in the Delaware Water Gap area.

    Be aware that the campground doesn't have credit card facilities, but does have an ATM in the store if absolutely necessary.


Guide to Hawley

Cabins at the six campgrounds near Hawley, Pennsylvania range from basic structures to fully furnished accommodations. The Pocono region sits between 1,300 and 1,800 feet elevation with deciduous forests dominating the landscape. Winter temperatures often drop below freezing while summer averages 75-85°F, making cabin camping a popular year-round option despite seasonal changes.

What to do

Lakeside activities: At Pickerel Point Campground, visitors can enjoy the crystal-clear lake for swimming and kayaking. "The lake is crystal clear and the beach is spotless. You absolutely have to bring a kayak/inflatable boat, but if you don't own one, don't worry, you can rent one," notes one visitor to Pickerel Point Campground.

Trail exploration: Hiking options range from short loops to segments of the Appalachian Trail. "We hiked 2 short easy trails (Little Falls and the Conservation Nature Loop- which we drove to). Absolutely beautiful!" reports a camper at Lower Lake Campground Beechwood Area.

Winter activities: When temperatures drop, cabins provide a warm base for cold-weather recreation. "This was my second visit in the cold months. Sites have electric but no water. Spigot close by. Heated cozy bathhouse with clean showers. The park is large with many hiking trails and ice fishing," explains a winter visitor to Pickerel Point.

What campers like

Waterfront sites: Many campers prioritize cabins with lake access. "We stayed on a lakeside electric/water site for 5 nights. It was SO BEAUTIFUL. We had SUPs and kayaks to take on the lake and our sites were right next to the boat launch. Each day we would paddle over to the swimming area on the lake," notes a visitor to Keen Lake Resort Campground.

Private accommodations: Some campgrounds offer more secluded options. "This is honestly the best campground we have ever been to!! Such wonderful rustic sites that are absolutely secluded!!" remarks a guest at Secluded Acres Campground.

Clean facilities: Regardless of cabin type, clean shared facilities remain important. "The bathrooms were the cleanest we've ever experienced at a campground. The staff were so accommodating and everyone was super nice," reports a family at Keen Lake Resort Campground.

What you should know

Site differences: Cabin quality and features vary significantly between campgrounds. "The cabins look very nice inside," reports a camper at Pickerel Point, while another notes about Stokes State Forest, "The cabins are reasonably priced and well-appointed, if a bit rustic. The interior features are just what you'd expect for getting away for the weekend."

Seasonal considerations: Operating seasons vary by campground. "Love that this park is open year round. Sites have electric but no water. Spigot close by," notes a winter visitor to Pickerel Point. Most cabin facilities close between late October and April.

Wildlife awareness: Bears are common in the region. "As soon as we got to our site one came right up as we were setting up our tent. Do not leave any food out be sure to lock up everything in car," cautions a visitor to Tobyhanna State Park.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly areas: Select cabins near recreational facilities. "My kids really loved having a pool to swim in, in addition to the lake," notes a family at Keen Lake Resort Campground, adding "Great for families. It would be a great place to camp with extended family."

Recreational programs: Some campgrounds offer structured activities. "They have activity coordinators that make sure there is something to do for all ages every hour of the day!" explains a parent at Keen Lake Resort.

Safety considerations: Families should prepare for varying terrain. "We stayed in the Pickerel Point of the park. This place is absolutely stunning. The lake is crystal clear and the beach is spotless," mentions a family visitor, though they caution about walking through uncut grass in some areas.

Tips from RVers

Site dimensions: RV cabin campers should verify pad sizes. "The sites seemed a little narrow when we first pulled in, but it was plenty," notes an RVer at Honesdale-Poconos KOA. Their patio sites earned particular praise: "Love the KOA patio sites, worth the few extra dollars."

Hookup availability: Electric service varies between 20-50 amp. "We had full hookups (20/30/50 amp, water & sewer). There's no cable but we were able to pickup about 6 channels with our digital antenna," explains an RV camper at Pickerel Point.

Off-season limitations: RVers should prepare for limited services during colder months. "Sites have electric but no water. Spigot close by," notes a winter visitor, while another adds, "The only negative is that I had almost no cell reception with Verizon."
