Best Cabin Camping near Hershey, PA
Hersheypark Camping Resort and Thousand Trails Hershey provide cabin accommodations with varying levels of amenities. Cabins at Hersheypark include electricity, beds, and some have private bathrooms. Most cabins feature a queen-sized bed and bunk beds that sleep 5-6 people comfortably. Thousand Trails Hershey offers similar setups with picnic tables and fire rings outside each cabin. Gifford Pinchot State Park Campground provides more rustic options with basic furnishings. "The cabins were clean, as was the bathhouse, but the cabins were right on top of each other, with NO division at all. It was more like a neighborhood on a quiet street."
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Elizabethtown-Hershey KOA features standard cabin rentals that accommodate families, while Twin Grove RV Resort offers more spacious options. Most cabins require advance reservations, especially during summer months when Hershey attractions draw visitors. Pet policies vary significantly between properties - Jonestown/Hershey KOA welcomes pets in their cabins, while others restrict animals to specific units. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, "We stayed in the Dragonfly camping cottage. It 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."
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. As described in feedback on The Dyrt, cabins "had everything you would need to set up house minus linens, towels, toilet paper, paper goods and toiletries." Kitchen facilities vary widely - some cabins offer refrigerators, microwaves and stovetops, while others provide only outdoor cooking options. Campground stores at Hersheypark Camping Resort and Pinch Pond Family Campground stock basic provisions, firewood, and ice. For more extensive grocery needs, larger stores are located within 10-15 minutes of most cabin properties.
