Lackawanna State Park Campground near Jermyn offers modern cabin accommodations with electricity, heating, and basic furnishings. The park's cabins provide a comfortable alternative to tent camping with sturdy roofs and insulated walls, making them suitable for spring through fall visits. Most units include multiple sleeping areas and simple kitchenettes. Cherry Ridge Campsites and Honesdale-Poconos KOA feature furnished cabins with varying amenities including electric hookups and cooking facilities. "The yurt was most comfortable and the park is beautiful in the spring," noted a visitor who stayed at Lackawanna State Park.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between locations – some provide only basic refrigeration while others include stovetops and microwaves. Campground stores at Keen Lake and Highland Campgrounds stock essential supplies, though selection is limited. Visitors planning extended stays should bring groceries from larger towns. Cooking equipment like pots, utensils, and coffee makers are rarely provided. Many cabins include outdoor fire rings or grills, with firewood available for purchase at most locations.

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 Falls!
What a great campground! We stayed here on a recommendation from a friend after the Overland Expo. Great hiking trails and the falls were absolutely breathtaking. Truly enjoyed our stay and plan to return!

Car camping
Stayed October 14 without reservations because website showed lots of availability. Office was closed (M-F 8-4) so submitted honor system envelope with cash and stayed at Site 041 on Carpenter loop. Shower building was a short walk and was spacious enough. Water temp didn’t quite reach hot but was warm enough.
Electric kept on tripping breaker.

Stay away... Unless you like 70 y/o men acting like high schoolers
This clothing-optional campground has a highly toxic, intrusive, and vindictive environment. During my stay, the seasonal permanent residents('perms') subjected me to intense harassment, inappropriate sexual advances, and severe social retaliation/rumor-spreading when those advances were rejected. The situation escalated to the point where an employee had to intervene for my safety. Furthermore, despite management allowing my photo to be taken in costume at a party, I was intentionally blocked from the community group where the photos were posted, leaving me unable to monitor how my image was being used. Avoid this place if you value your privacy, personal boundaries, and safety.

Cool Riverside Campground
I'll start by saying this is a site-specific review (C20). I booked using Campspot and didn't select my own site but put in the criteria for my rig (30ft TT plus truck) and got a 50A back-in spot. The site was big but abnormal. Between the picnic table placement and the trees, I ended up right around 50ft from the electric and water, and the water spigot was so low I could barely put on my camco filter. With the uneven dirt roads, I had to unhitch with my truck in a gigantic puddle (lol). The site was otherwise fine aside from my gate code not working on Day 2. As for the campground as a whole, I thought it was pretty unique place by the river that offered several good amenities and activities, like downstream river tubing, an arcade, bathroom/shower facilities, a small store, little trails, and more. I would say this place borders the more primitive side.

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.

Great cabins!
We booked a cabin at the last minute and were pleasantly surprised that the cabin had heat and electricity! It was very close to the awesome heated bathroom also! We were also able to catch a beautiful sunset! Great camp all around!
Guide to Jermyn
Cabins near Jermyn, Pennsylvania occupy a forested region in the Pocono Mountains about 15 miles northeast of Scranton. Situated at elevations around 1,500 feet, this area experiences cooler temperatures than surrounding lowlands, with overnight lows often dropping 10-15°F below daytime highs even in summer. Most cabin facilities operate from April through October with limited winter availability due to seasonal access restrictions.
What to do
Lake activities at Keen Lake Resort: Located 12 miles east of Jermyn, this family-run campground features a large swim-able lake with varied watercraft options. "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 Shannon C., who stayed for five nights at Keen Lake Resort Campground.
Boulder Field exploration: A unique geological formation in the region draws many cabin campers. "The boulder field was the highlight of our camping trip. The campground has great playgrounds, several well-marked trails, and functional restrooms and showers," shares Shayna, who visited Hickory Run State Park Campground.
Winter recreation opportunities: Some areas provide year-round cabin access with seasonal activities. "We would love to come back in the winter when they have an ice rink with a warming house," mentions Michael, who camped at Lackawanna State Park during summer but noted its off-season attractions.
What campers like
Lake views from sites: Waterfront cabins remain popular among visitors. "We stayed on a lakeside electric/water site for 5 nights. It was SO BEAUTIFUL. The bugs were better than I would have anticipated next to the lake," writes Shannon about her experience at Keen Lake.
Accessible recreation options: Many cabin areas feature nearby flat trails for those seeking easier outings. "The Conservation Walk on the island is short, easy, and beautiful. Well-marked," reports Alaina Z. about their stay at Pickerel Point Campground.
Clean shower facilities: Well-maintained bathhouses rank high in camper satisfaction. "The bathrooms were the cleanest we've ever experienced at a campground. The showers are coin operated," notes Emily Z., who appreciated the amenities at Keen Lake despite finding the sites somewhat close together.
What you should know
Bear awareness essential: Wildlife encounters require proper preparation. "We were warned at check in that there have been a lot of bears in the area but never really thought that we would see one. As soon as we got to our site one came right up as we were setting up our tent," reports Erik M. from his stay at Tobyhanna State Park Campground.
Site privacy varies significantly: Cabins and campsites offer different levels of seclusion. "The sites in this loop were spacious and more in an open area, but we were along a wooded area which gave us some shade. It was a very quiet weekend for us as our loop was not crowded," writes Shirley M. about Hickory Run State Park.
Weather preparedness important: Mountain conditions can change rapidly. "We had a great time despite cold wet weather. Our site was probably one of the worst in the place but we were able to scope out others that we would prefer for our next visit," explains Emily Z., highlighting the importance of location selection.
Tips for camping with families
Activity planning for younger children: Many campgrounds offer structured programming. "My kids really loved having a pool to swim in, in addition to the lake," writes Emily Z. about Keen Lake's amenities for families.
Site selection for family needs: Consider proximity to key facilities. "If you don't want to drive during your stay, camp on the side with the beach and pool," advises Emily Z. from her experience at Keen Lake Resort Campground.
Year-round cabin availability: Some facilities offer heated accommodations beyond summer. "Open year round. Sites have electric but no water. Spigot close by. Heated cozy bathhouse with clean showers," reports Mara S. about her winter visit to Pickerel Point Campground.
Tips for RVers
Hookup reliability varies: Check electrical capacity before booking. "Two electric hookups would trip the 50 amp circuit breaker on any load about 30 amps, which means the hookups are old and unmaintained," cautions David from his experience at Lackawanna State Park.
Full hookup options limited but available: Several parks have added upgraded services. "Stayed in the fairly new ledges loop that are all full hookup sites. Nice large sites, beautiful area, friendly rangers," shares Cheryl M. about her stay at Lackawanna State Park Campground.
Site orientation considerations: Some areas have better protection from elements. "The late afternoon sun did hit the front of our trailer, but we used this time for a nap or went for a drive to explore the area," notes Shirley M., sharing her adaptation strategy at Hickory Run State Park.
