Rustic cabins at Worlds End State Park Campground provide basic accommodations with electricity, wood-burning stoves, refrigerators, and cooking facilities. Each cabin sleeps 6-8 people with double bunk beds, though bathrooms are located in separate buildings throughout the cabin area. Ricketts Glen State Park offers similar cabin options with convenient access to hiking trails and Lake Jean. The cabins at both parks feature picnic tables and fire rings for outdoor meals. "The cabins stay very warm with a wood burning stove- sometimes even too warm and windows need to stay cracked open. We purchased wood from a local gentleman who delivered," noted one visitor about their winter stay at Worlds End.
Pioneer Campground and Pine Cradle Lake Family Campground provide more developed cabin rentals with varying amenities. While some cabins include only basic furnishings, others offer refrigerators, televisions, and heating/cooling systems. Cabin quality varies significantly between locations and specific units. According to one camper who stayed at Pioneer Campground, "Our friends stayed in cabin 6 and it was so cute, bright, and had AC. Our other friend stayed in 2 and it was much better than ours as well." Most parks require advance reservations, especially during summer months and holiday weekends. Pet policies differ by location, with some cabins designated as pet-friendly with proper vaccination documentation.
Most cabins require visitors to bring their own linens, pillows, and toiletries. Worlds End State Park cabins include stoves and refrigerators but no running water, while dishwashing stations are available near bathroom facilities. Campers should pack cooking utensils, food storage containers, and cleaning supplies. One visitor at Salt Springs State Park noted, "The camper cabins are basic with bunks, bring all your own gear. They are fairly new and have electricity but no water or heat." Firewood is typically available for purchase at campground offices or through local vendors, with some parks operating on an honor system after office hours. Many campgrounds have small stores with basic provisions, though selection is limited.

Beautiful waterfalls!
This is a really great state park which has a nice campground, beautiful scenery, interesting attractions nearby, and great hiking trails. The biggest attraction are the 12 waterfalls in the park. Some are easy, short walks, and others are moderate and longer. The Rim and Gorge Trails make a loop which makes for a really good workout with lots of stairs and elevation change. Personally, I think the views from the Gorge Trail are better. Or, you can park in the upper lot and walk down (approximately 1/3 mile) to see Lucifer Falls and walk back. Fall is a great time to visit and enhances the views.
All campsites are back-in and have fire pits and picnic tables. Some are in the open(#49-72)with a scattering of trees, while others are tucked in the woods with lots of shade. The open sites are much easier for big rigs to navigate and back into. There is no water or sewer at sites but water spigots are located throughout the campground and the dump station is easy to access on your way out and has a dedicated water fill station away from the dump site. Our site (#52) was open which we appreciated in because the fall weather was cool and we had a clear sky for Dish satelitte. The pad was gravel and level. The patio is grass and there is nice distance between you and your neighbors Some sites are dry camping and other have electric that varies from 30 or 50-amp and the price reflects which you choose. Our site was electric only (50-amp which worked well) and we were close enough to a shared water spigot so we could add water. There are signs that say you can only hookup to the spigots for five minutes and “Y” connectors are not allowed. Swimming is allowed in the pools and river but has certain daily hours and is only open from late-June to Labor Day. Your receipt and park pass allow you access to other NY state parks in the area. Definitely check out Buttermilk Falls State Park which is just a couple of miles away and has nice hiking trails and more beautiful waterfalls. We visited the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (which is free) and has interesting exhibits, short films, and hiking trails.

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.

Great all around family campground
Spent 7 days here with the family. Campsite is packed with things to do and very family friends. Great for kids. Activities and live band on Saturday’s.
Alan R.TravelerWatkins Glen State Park Campground
Beautiful and Affordable
Second year we have camped here in June prior to the IMSA race at the racetrack. The sites are all spread out with a nice tree canopy. There are two loops (Mohawk and Seneca) with electric, and 5 more for tent camping or boon docking RV. There is a trail that connects directly with the state park with all the waterfalls. Water spigots onsite liberally spread out and the showers/ toilets pristine. With my senior America pass it cost me $103 for 3 days. Love this place
Guide to Monroe
Cabins near Monroe, Pennsylvania typically sit at elevations between 1,000-1,500 feet in the Endless Mountains region, creating cooler summer nights than surrounding lowlands. The area receives approximately 45 inches of annual precipitation, with most cabin campgrounds operating from April through October. Winter cabin stays require preparation for temperatures that regularly drop below freezing from December through February.
What to do
Waterfall exploration: Worlds End State Park offers hiking trails with scenic water features. "Make sure you check out Cottonwood Falls. Completely stunning location," recommends Kate J. The park connects to numerous marked trails with varying difficulty levels.
Lake activities: Fishing opportunities abound at local parks with stocked lakes. "Lake Jean is also right there for boating and recreation," notes Meag F. about the waters at Ricketts Glen. Most lakes permit non-motorized boats with rentals available during summer months.
Historical sites: The region contains several Revolutionary War landmarks and historical points of interest. At Newtown Battlefield State Park, visitors can combine camping with history. "Great site. Pretty self serve, rangers drive through often... Trails are well signed at intersections, and they are well worn," writes מלאכי א.
What campers like
Creek access: Cozy Creek Family Campground provides waterfront sites. "My son and I camp here every year. Great fishing, clean facilities and friendly, super helpful staff," states John Z. The creek remains accessible year-round for fishing or wading.
Privacy levels: Site separation varies significantly between campgrounds. "We had the pleasure of renting a cabin at World's End State Park... We were immediately in love with the babbling river that ran right beside our cabin," writes a visitor describing their experience with cabin seclusion.
Night sky viewing: Lackawanna State Park offers minimal light pollution for stargazing. "The campsites are nestled in a deep shady mature forest, and peaceful and quiet due to the wooded aspect and spacing of sites," notes Janet R. Most cabin areas maintain darker conditions than tent camping sections.
What you should know
Cell service limitations: Many cabin areas have restricted connectivity. "No cell service, which is refreshing. The sound of the creek nearby is really soothing," reports Katy R. about Worlds End. Expect spotty coverage in most wooded cabin locations.
Reservation timing: Summer cabin bookings require advance planning. "Hills Creek was a beautiful park, but it is crowded & ruins the nice environment of quiet camping," warns Alexandria about peak season crowds. Winter cabins typically have greater availability.
Bathroom facilities: Pioneer Campground and similar locations offer varying bathroom quality. "Our friends stayed in cabin 6 and it was so cute, bright, and had AC. Our other friend stayed in 2 and it was much better than ours as well," shares Jennifer A., highlighting cabin inconsistency even within the same property.
Tips for camping with families
Splash features: Pine Cradle Lake Family Campground provides water recreation options. "We enjoyed fishing and kayaking in the lake, the heated pool and splash pad, spacious sites and clean amenities," reports Jake D. The splash pad operates from Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend.
Nature programs: Several parks offer ranger-led activities for children. "The rangers offer educational programs that are free of charge!" mentions Amanda H. about available learning opportunities. Most programs run weekends during summer months.
Playground access: Family-friendly cabins typically include nearby play areas. "Nice, pull-through on gravel pad with full-hookups that can take large rigs. Lake is lovely for fishing/kayaks/canoes. Seasonal campers are tidy. Only a few tent sites with water & electricity tucked into woods," describes Cheryl W. about the family amenities.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Watkins Glen State Park requires careful consideration for larger rigs. "Watkins Glen was absolutely beautiful. The sites are quite wooded with plenty of space in between. We stayed in a 30 ft. motorhome, and the roads within the campground were kind of tight to get through with trees and curves," cautions Laura L.
Power reliability: Older cabin campgrounds may have electrical limitations. "Two electric hookups would trip the 50 amp circuit breaker on any load about 30 amps, which means the hookups are old and unmaintained," notes David about one location. Most modern cabins provide more reliable 30-50 amp service.
Road conditions: Access to remote cabins can challenge larger vehicles. "The road in (Vacation lane) is dirt, rough and narrow," warns April L. about approaching Cozy Creek. Cabin locations farther from main roads typically require 4WD during wet conditions or winter months.
