Nockamixon State Park Cabins in Quakertown offers full-electric cabins with heat for comfortable stays throughout the year. The modern cabin accommodations provide sleeping arrangements for families or small groups and include well-appointed interiors. "The cabins are full electric with heat and are well appointed. It was an excellent fall trip location for a family with young children," noted one visitor. Located near a large lake, these cabins maintain similar layouts to other Pennsylvania state park cabins, with strategic placement providing access to water activities and hiking trails.
Rustic and deluxe cabin options are available at several campgrounds within 30 minutes of Hellertown. Quakerwoods Campground, Colonial Woods Family Resort, and Ringing Rocks Family Campground all feature cabin rentals with varying amenities. Most require advance reservations, especially during summer months from April through October. Pet policies differ between locations - Nockamixon allows dogs in designated cabins only. A camper mentioned, "While we managed to get one of the dog friendly ones here, they are limited in number." Allentown KOA in New Tripoli offers standardized cabin accommodations with more predictable amenities.
Most cabins require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and personal items. Cooking facilities vary significantly between properties - state park cabins typically include basic kitchen equipment while private campground cabins may offer more limited cooking options. Visitors without cooking equipment can find meals at local establishments like Brick Tavern Inn, The West End, and McCoole's near Quakertown. For supplies, Quakertown provides access to grocery stores including Giant and Aldi, along with general retailers like Target and Walmart for any camping essentials not provided with cabin rentals.

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 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.

Large sites & friendly staff!
Another great experience. Sites were large. Staff was friendly with many different things for kids to do. Great base camp for local hikes.

First time camping
As 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.

Quiet Getaway close to home for us
Mary & 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.

Privacy & quiet hours are king
We’ve been to Camp Taylor twice now for tent camping: September 2021 and May 2023. We stayed at the rustic tent sites both times, and there was room for 2 cars and 2 tents. Depending on how you want your setup, there are some that are more secluded and others that are close together and would be great for group camping.
The staff are all lovely and take the time to explain the rules both in-person at check-in and on the forms they provide at the time of booking. They are not hiding how seriously they take rules like quiet hours, and it will keep campers like me coming back. If you are respectful of the folks around you and especially during the posted quiet hours, you will have no problems.
The office and shop keep supply of snacks, firewood, and gifts. There are flush toilets mapped in spots of the tent sites (SUCH a pleasant surprise! I was expecting a porta-potty or vault toilet), and hot showers are available at the same complex as the office.

Clean and well maintained!
I spent 4 days and 3 nights with my 6th grade Girl Scouts. We were at sites 23 and 24 which worked out great because they back up against each other. The bathrooms were super clean and well maintained. There are outlets at the bathroom building by the sink to charge any electronics. The playground is adequate and the field is big for playing. There are many things to do close by too like the observatory, Round Valley beach, Grounds for Art, etc. We all really enjoyed ourselves and plan on returning.
Guide to Hellertown
Cabin rentals near Hellertown, Pennsylvania offer convenient lodging in rural Bucks and Berks counties, typically 700-900 feet above sea level where temperatures average 10-15°F cooler than Philadelphia. Most local camping operations close between late October and early April due to freezing overnight temperatures and seasonal maintenance needs.
What to do
**Disc golf adventure: At Boulder Woods Campground, the extensive disc golf course attracts enthusiasts year-round. "They have a disc golf course and they rent and sell discs. That's where we fell in love with disc golf," notes one visitor who discovered a new hobby during their stay.
**Explore Ringing Rocks: Visit the unusual geological formation at Ringing Rocks County Park near Mountainview Campground. "You can strike certain rocks with a metal hammer they ring, hence the name of the park!" A camper advises bringing your own hammer to fully experience this unique natural phenomenon.
**Lake activities: Tohickon Valley County Park provides water recreation opportunities from spring through fall. "I read that two water releases each year in March and early November are very popular for whitewater rafters and many of these paddlers stay in the cabins and campground," explains a visitor who discovered this seasonal attraction.
What campers like
**Private tent sites: The wooded tent areas at Little Red Barn Campground offer secluded camping spaces away from RVs. "I immediately went to the office to ask to move to a primitive site and they allowed us to move without any issues. We ended up setting up camp at site 31 - which was spacious enough for two large tents and very private," reports a tent camper who found their ideal spot.
**Clean facilities: Campers consistently praise the maintenance at French Creek State Park Campground. "All sites have a paved level area which made set up a breeze. Bathrooms were very nice and clean with large showers. Nice area to wash dishes," notes a visitor who appreciated the campground infrastructure.
**Wildlife encounters: The rural setting provides opportunities to observe native animals. "Shortly after we settled into our tent did we hear foxes fighting right outside our tent, the snorts of deer, and there were bats right above us all night making noise!" reports an enthusiastic Mountainview Campground guest who enjoyed the natural ambiance.
What you should know
**Tent site locations: At several campgrounds, tent sites are positioned farther from facilities. "The primitive sites are very private, friendly staff, clean grounds. Cons: only one bathroom and it's very far from the primitive sites," notes a Little Red Barn Campground visitor highlighting this common tradeoff.
**Seasonal restrictions: Many cabin rental operations have specific seasonal limitations. "The pool is open from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. Children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult. There is also a separate kiddie pool," explains a visitor describing amenity availability.
**RV age limits: Ringing Rocks Family Campground offers cabin options but restricts certain RVs. "They only allow seasonal campers to be 10 years old or newer. Ours is 13. Very disappointed. But for a weekend away, it's a great place," shares a visitor who encountered this policy limitation.
Tips for camping with families
**Activity options: Colonial Woods Family Resort caters specifically to children. "They had a playground, lake where you could fish, cornhole, and minigolf. They did a few activities the one we did go to was the casino night where they had separate play areas for kids and adults. All the money made is donated to Shriners Children's Hospital."
**Schedule verification: Always check operating hours for amenities when staying with children. "The posted pool hours were not as described they don't really tell you but it was open a little later if not the posted hours were like 6pm and it was way too early for a hot summer day if you ask me," advises a parent from their experience.
**Wildlife education: Make animal encounters a learning opportunity. "The free-range chickens by the office are a warm welcome," notes a Mountainview Campground visitor whose children enjoyed this unique feature of their campground experience.
Tips from RVers
**Site navigation: Some campgrounds have challenging access roads for larger vehicles. "The roads are very narrow, pretty sizable boulders on both sides, trees are very low and need to be trimmed (almost took my ac out with a huge limb). Now if you're not big rig camping like we do, this place is great for you," cautions a Colonial Woods visitor with a fifth wheel.
**Campground assistance: Boulder Woods Campground offers parking help for RVs. "The spots are tight to get into but the staff will offer to park your camper using your vehicle. I let them park mine and I'm really glad I did. It was super tight," explains a grateful camper who benefited from this service.
**Electric options: Consider your power needs when selecting cabin accommodations near Hellertown. "Sites 68 and 69 are next to the field sites and aside from having electricity and water and a faint gravel camper pad, there is not much to distinguish them from the field sites (which have electricity but no water)," details a Little Red Barn Campground visitor, highlighting the importance of checking site specifications before booking.
