Best Cabin Camping near Library, PA

Cabin accommodations near Library include rustic options at Raccoon Creek State Park and cabin rentals at Washington-Pittsburgh SW KOA. Most cabins provide basic furnishings with varying levels of amenities, from simple sleeping quarters to units with electricity and nearby bathrooms. A visitor commented that "the sites are pretty close to each other" at the KOA locations, noting the limited privacy typical of commercial campgrounds. Madison-Pittsburgh S.E. KOA offers cabin units with electricity and access to shower facilities, while Mountain Top Campground provides cabin rentals with more secluded settings for those seeking quieter surroundings.

While some properties operate year-round, others like Whispering Pines Family Campground are seasonal, open from mid-April through October. Reservations are typically required, especially during summer months when cabin availability becomes limited. Pet policies vary by location, with KOA cabins often designating specific pet-friendly units. One camper shared that Whispering Pines "checks all the boxes" with its combination of cabin comfort and natural setting alongside a brook. Pricing ranges from economical state park cabins to premium KOA accommodations with more amenities.

Bedding requirements differ across properties, with most cabins requiring guests to bring their own linens, pillows, and towels. Cooking facilities range from simple fire rings with picnic tables to cabins with small refrigerators or microwaves. The Washington-Pittsburgh SW KOA and Madison-Pittsburgh S.E. KOA both maintain camp stores where basic provisions can be purchased. Visitors staying at state park cabins should arrive prepared with groceries and supplies, as these locations typically have fewer on-site purchasing options. Campers planning extended stays may want to stock up in Washington or surrounding communities before arrival.

    Kentuck Campground — Ohiopyle State Park

    Great spot for all outdoor enthousists!

    From white water kayaking and guided rafting trips, natural waterslides, to hiking and biking trails - this park has it all! This beautiful park has something to offer for everyone. The campground is nice with several camping options such as tent, camper, yurt and cabin rentals. They also have hot showers, electric options, and pet friendly areas. They have several seasonal events and festivals that are fun for the whole family. Must respect quiet hours here, rangers patrol frequently. For those who want to have a good time and be noisy and share some adult beverages Scarlett Knob campground May be a better option.

    Chestnut Ridge Regional Park

    Relaxing campground to get away from it all or enjoy a night of musicq

    There are many tent sites at this location, as well as RV lodging.  There is a pond you can swim and or fish at.  There are both, modern and rustic cabins to rent.  The rustic cabin has a double bunk, stove and fireplace but no running water or shower or sink.  There is a shower house a short walk away.  the modern cabin is 3 bedrooms with microwave, shower, sink, relax room....there is also the Klaer Lodge built by park enthusiasts in the late 60's made of stone and can accomadate over 50 people.  All made of stone, as 20+ bunk beds upstairs -- huge facility.

    There are XC trails, an old school house and even a stage for the weekend music series performances.  Dog friendly as long as on a leash and a little shop where you check in and get necessary supplies, wood bundles...etc..very fun place.

    The Blue Canoe RV Resort

    A Trail Runs Through It: The GAP Trail KOA

    The GAP trail rolls right through the middle of this traditional KOA campground. The seasonal RVers and weekend warriors have long claimed their sites, but for through riders on the trail there is a special place to camp, close to the west-bound entrance. The picnic tables and fire rings are surrounded by hammock poles and there’s lots of space for scattered tents. The bathroom and shower facilities are modern and well maintained. And, of course, they have ice cream and laundry available! They also have cabins if you need to get out of the weather. We didn’t check those out, but saw them on the property. 

    If you are an RVer and seeking a place to park and ride along this trail, this is a perfect place to have the best of both worlds. This is a very busy campground, nothing like the serenity of the less easy to access sites along the GAP trail, but offers some nice services for those in need of them.

    The closest town is Connellsville where you can get everything you might need.  Great restaurants as well!  Check out the Kickstand Kitchen for an ahhhmazing meal!!  Best restaurant along the trail, by far.

    Kentuck Campground — Ohiopyle State Park

    The most convenient camping if you are paddling the Lower Youghigeny River

    The Kentucky campground at Ohiopyle State Park in Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania is the most convenient campground to stay at if you are a private boater who is rafting or kayaking the Lower Youghigeny River. It is located ½ way between put in and take out right on the road that goes between the two. I have camped here MANY times. I always travel with my dog, so I can only provide information about the facilities on Ginko, Cherry and Juniper Roads and the sites that fall within the 'Pet-Friendly' side of the campground - which is Ivy Road and Hickory Road.

    Most convenient, being the operative words here and the whole reason to stay here, really. That being said - it is a very nice campground - it just has some draw backs. I have broken down the 'Good' and the 'Bad' (in my opinion). For some, the things I have listed as 'bad' would be on their 'good' list - so take it for what it is worth - advice from someone who likes to paddle and relax with an adult beverage around a campfire at the end of the day. I don't want to throw a loud obnoxious camping party, I just want to be able to sit around the campfire and enjoy a few beverages with my friends and talk in a normal voice to share our stories from the day.

    The Good: Large tall shade trees throughout the entire campground. I cannot think of a single campsite that is actually in full sun. Nice fire pits and picnic tables. Clean bathrooms and showers - and lot's of them (although that being said, they could use another shower facility down at the end of Hickory Road - if you are in Hickory sites 160 - 175 it's a far walk to a shower). Hot water for showers seems pretty plentiful - it's been few and far between that it has run out or not been available when I needed it. There are large sinks outside all bathrooms for washing dishes. There are additional potable water taps throughout the campground as well. There is an RV dump station. There are dumpsters for trash and recycling. Dogs ARE now allowed at this campground (in designated areas - and there are a lot of them) - in years gone by dogs were not allowed. There are a lot of flat/level campsites.

    The Mediocre: There are also quite a few campsites that are not so flat or level. You cannot tell very well when making your reservations which are flat/level and which are not.

    The Bad: 'Quiet hours' start at 9pm. The Rangers are ridiculously vigilant about 'Quiet'. You literally need to almost whisper around the campfire in order to not arouse the interest of the Rangers which frequently patrol the campground on both foot and by vehicle. As soon as you arouse their suspicion by 'talking too loud', they make it perfectly clear that they can exercise their right to search your campsite and destroy/remove anything that is not allowed and/or kick you out.

    This campground is in a PA state park. Alcohol is not allowed in any PA State Parks. Certainly there are ways around that - using cups and mugs, etc. - but you have to know before you go to do that. It is obvious by the content of the trash in the dumpsters and recycling bins that NO ONE follows this rule. So what you then need to know is that the Rangers are vigilant about patrolling the campground for people violating the alcohol rule. (refer to the info about Quiet hours above.)

    Bottom line is: If you are traveling alone or in a very small group/just your family and are looking for somewhere clean, quiet and convenient to camp near the Lower Youghigeny River - this is a great place for you.

    If you've got a decent sized group, that will need multiple campsites and you want to be able to hang out, talk, drink without worrying about hiding it from the Rangers and enjoy yourselves later than 9pm, you might want to look for somewhere else to stay.

    If you've got a large and potentially loud group of people who want to party - don't even consider staying here. (My suggestions for that would be Tall Oaks in nearby Farmington or Scarlett Knob on the other side of Ohiopyle.)

    Laurel Hill State Park Campground

    Nice state park with a lake

    Stayed 3 nights because I wanted to be centrally located to the he Flight 93 Memorial and Falling Water (about 30 miles to each). The non pet section is heavily wooded and very shady. The pet section is more of a loop set up with some trees. The no pet section had no, zero, zilch cell service so my stay was super quiet. Site 173 was easy to back into and had a large picnic area with a fire ring next to the brook. There is a lake with a small beach and a boat launch and numerous hiking trails. The park will s very nice pretty and during the week fairly empty. I would recommend

    Laurel Hill State Park Campground

    Quiet and peaceful

    A solid place to camp. Nice temperatures for June. A nice little beach for the kids to swim at. Self service ice and wood. Bring exact cash as the the contact station is only open Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Bathrooms are old but cleaned daily, water was hot so no complaints. Later check out was a nice bonus

    Some of the sites are quite small and right on top of others. Some like ours were significantly larger. The pet loop was essentially a field with trees around it. The none pet loop was in the trees and so you sometimes had more space and sometimes were right beside you.

    The no pet loop essentially cleared out after the weekend and we had tons of space to run around.

    I wish more hikes started from the campground. But there was a gravel trail that connected to most of them.

    Bear Run Campground

    Loads to do...!

    This campground is deceptively big! The nightly RV sites are close to the park entrance and are relatively flat. The campground hosts themed events, game nights and arts& crafts. There is a swimming pool and playground for the kids. It also has a small café that sells baked goods and coffee. On Saturdays they sell amazing Armish Donuts! 

    Further into the campground the sites turn to more permanent sites. Further up the hill are more cottages and camping. This campground is steep in parts and too large to walk efficiently. There is a fenced dog run area and a beautiful lake. All sites have fire rings. There is an onsite laundry, WIFI, onsite dump station and propane refill station. 

    You can also buy ice and firewood. The campground is gated. Lots to do at the campground and lots to do in the surrounding area. They welcome all furry friends!

    Coopers Rock State Forest

    Quiet campground with easy access to outdoor fun

    This small campground is just a couple of miles from busy Hwy 68, but amazingly quiet. Sites are average to large, with a few that can accommodate larger RV’s. All have electricity, a picnic table, fire ring, and lantern pole.

    There is almost no privacy between sites, but sites are spacious. The campground is kept very clean. Bathrooms are older, but kept clean and have nice HOT showers. There is also a small laundry room with dishwashing sink behind the bathhouse. Both ice and firewood are sold onsite.

    There are many hiking trails in the area, including the very popular Raven Rock trail that leads to an incredible overlook of the Cheat River Valley and Canyon. Also very popular are both the Big Sandy and Cheat Rivers, both within 10 miles to the put ins. Lots of options nearby for just a few hours and/or a full day of whitewater fun.

    Morgantown, about 10 miles away, is the closest town and is filled with everything you need. We enjoyed a great cycling day on the Mon River Trail which runs along the Monongahela River, accessible from downtown Morgantown or Star City.


Guide to Library

Cabin accommodations near Library, Pennsylvania range from rustic state park options to full-service private campgrounds situated in the rolling hills of western Pennsylvania. The region sits at elevations between 900-1,200 feet, creating moderate temperature shifts between daytime and evening hours, even in summer months. Many cabin properties in this area maintain 10-15 degrees cooler temperatures than Pittsburgh due to their forested settings and higher elevation.

What to do

Water activities: Swimming and fishing: At Keystone State Park, visitors access a designated swimming area on the park's lake. "The park itself is gorgeous with a large lake and designated swimming area. Place attracts a lot of people in the summer as its basically in the Pittsburgh suburbs along a major road artery," notes Matt R. about the recreational options.

Hiking trails: Various difficulty levels: Raccoon Creek State Park maintains over 40 miles of trails across diverse terrain. "Got out for a couple hours hiking in the snow. It was great. Just what we needed to stretch the legs and enjoy some family time. We did the Palomino Loop. It also was quite interesting getting to the trail. Some nice snow covered back roads," says Jay R., highlighting year-round accessibility.

Mountain biking: Trail access: The Blue Canoe RV Resort (formerly Uniontown KOA) offers direct access to the Great Allegheny Passage trail. "The GAP trail rolls right through the middle of this traditional KOA campground," explains Shari G., noting its convenience for cyclists wanting cabin accommodations with trail access.

What campers like

Privacy levels: Site selection matters: While many commercial campgrounds have closely spaced sites, Mountain Top Campground offers more secluded options. "The sites are pretty spread out and spacious, so you have pretty decent privacy," notes Dave, who appreciated the layout compared to more densely packed campgrounds.

Mountain views: Scenic overlooks: Located on an elevated ridgeline, Mountain Top Campground provides panoramic views. "It actually does really sit at the mountain top and gives you pretty good views of the valleys and surrounding areas from any of the rim campsites. Fall was in full effect and it was AMAZINGLY beautiful!!" writes a camper describing the setting.

Natural water features: Brook-side sites: Select cabins at Whispering Pines Family Campground are positioned alongside a running brook. "This campground checks all the boxes for me. Pool, brook, trees, space, quiet! Every time we come here it gets better. Site was right on the water and listened to the bubbly brook all day," reports John R. about his experience.

What you should know

Seasonal operations: Limited winter options: Most cabin properties close between late October and April. Tomlinson Run State Park operates within a defined season: "April 1 to October 31," according to their listing information.

Reservation requirements: Book ahead: Summer weekends fill quickly, especially at Tomlinson Run State Park Campground. "Its a quiet little campground. Very pretty area. The hiking trails are very well kept," notes Theodore C., though popularity means advance booking is essential.
