Best Cabin Camping near Morrisville, PA

Cabins at Ohiopyle State Park and Raccoon Creek State Park offer electricity, fire rings, and picnic tables with varying levels of amenities. Kentuck Campground at Ohiopyle features both basic and fully furnished cabins, while Raccoon Creek provides electric-only sites suitable for family stays. Most cabins include beds with mattress pads, blackout curtains for privacy, and nearby bathhouses with showers and toilets. Cabin interiors range from single-room layouts to multi-bedroom configurations with basic furnishings. "The cabin was impressively clean, and the beds were very cozy. There are blackout curtains on the windows, so we slept late and it was glorious."

Rustic and modern cabin options exist throughout the region, with notable differences in amenity levels. Coopers Rock State Forest offers electricity in all cabin sites, with some accommodating larger groups. KOA-style cabins are available at Washington-Pittsburgh SW KOA and Madison-Pittsburgh S.E. KOA, providing standardized amenities including small refrigerators and basic furnishings. Pet policies vary significantly by location, with Raccoon Creek State Park designating specific pet-friendly cabin loops and Ohiopyle restricting pets to certain areas.

Basic cabins typically include a fire ring with cooking grate, picnic table, and minimal indoor furnishings. More developed cabins may feature mini-refrigerators, microwaves, and electric outlets. Camp stores at locations like Coopers Rock State Forest sell ice, firewood, and basic provisions, though selection is often limited. Water spigots are typically available near cabin sites, with modern bathhouses providing flush toilets and hot showers within walking distance. Depending on the season, visitors should check availability of water facilities as some parks shut off water spouts during colder months.

    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.

    Swallow Falls State Park Campground

    Cabin 58

    Swallow Falls has a great loop trail where you see four waterfalls. You can walk to the loop from the campground. It ma be adds a third of a mile to the hike. 

    We stayed in cabin 58, which has a short, easy path to the bathhouse and even shorter to the mud sink. This was very handy when traveling with two young kids. Prior to going, I wished I could have seen the inside of the cabins, particularly to know how big the mini fridge was. I couldn't find any pictures, so here they are.

    It is a one-room cabin, was impressively clean, and the beds were very cozy. There are blackout curtains on the windows, so we slept late and it was glorious. There is one small window in the door that does not have a curtain. I taped aluminum foil up over it.

    Each bed had a mattress pad on it when we arrived, as pictured. One minor note is that the bunk bed mattresses seem to be a bit too big for the bunk beds. This caused them to not lay perfectly flat and also made me feel uncomfortable having my roly-poly kids sleep on the top bunk, where there were only a couple inches between the mattress and the top of the railing.

    I have Verizon and could make calls, but could not reliably send or receive text messages and there was no data access.

    Great park. Great cabin. Great stay.

    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.)

    Swallow Falls State Park Campground

    Great camping near falls

    Clean, beautiful and quiet (occasional barking dog or children playing loudly). The basic tent sites each have a picnic table, fire pit w/ grill, and lantern post. The trails to the beautiful falls are a short walk from the campgrounds.

    Raccoon Creek State Park Campground

    Pet friendly campsite, with electric

    While most of the campgrounds in the park are no pets- there are 2 loops that allow your furry companions! Loop F includes electric spots! Loved seeing the 'neighbors' dogs get excited and curious when I walked my 4-legged best friend around the site. Clean area , close to a modern bathroom (a few stalls & even 2 showers!) Looking forward to going back at the end of the month.

    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 Morrisville

Cabin rentals near Morrisville, Pennsylvania offer rustic and modern accommodations within reasonable driving distance. Situated in western Pennsylvania's rolling terrain, most cabin camping options range from 300-2,500 feet in elevation with seasonal temperature variations from below freezing in winter to 80°F in summer. Weather conditions can shift rapidly with rain common even in summer months.

What to do

Hiking trails: accessible directly from campgrounds. At Coopers Rock State Forest, trails accommodate various skill levels with distances from under a mile to day-long routes. "I have been going her for years and I always love to climb this area. The pitches arent too high (50ft) but great just to get out there an enjoy life!" notes Nick P.

Mushroom hunting: seasonal specialty. Spring visitors can search for morels and other wild edibles. "Went down to pick some Morrell and shantrels mushrooms, they were everywhere, many of the mushrooms didnt even require us to leave the path!" reports Jill R. from Ryerson Station State Park.

Swimming options: pools and natural waters. Several campgrounds maintain swimming facilities. Ryerson Station has recently added new options as Brian B. describes: "The new swimming pool is under construction. Parts of the park seem like they have been abandoned, probably when they were forced to drain the lake."

What campers like

Quiet, spacious sites: room to spread out. Cabin campers appreciate the separation between sites in certain areas. "The sites are spaced out. Electricity at sites but no water or sewer. A new section will be opening later this season that will have elec and water," notes William B. about Coopers Rock State Forest.

New bathroom facilities: modern amenities. Recently renovated shower houses are frequently mentioned in positive reviews. "The bathhouse looked to be new or remodeled. It was very clean and nice. Laundry is available but we did not use," explains Joni P. from Ryerson Station State Park Campground.

Kid-friendly activities: on-site entertainment. Benner's Meadow Run RV Campground receives high marks for family amenities. "Got a nice secluded spot to camp in the wooded area that had amazing mountain views and the star gazing platform. Kids had a great time and lots of activities for them to do!" shares Tom C.

What you should know

Cell service: unreliable in mountainous areas. Connectivity varies dramatically between locations. "There is NO Verizon service at the campground. We walked up to the amphitheater and were able to get out a few texts but no looking at the radar. One person in our party had AT&T and was able to text from the campground but still a very weak signal," reports a camper at Ryerson Station.

Site topography: challenging for setup. Many cabin and tent sites have uneven ground. The Washington-Pittsburgh SW KOA has particular challenges according to Kevin D.: "A dozen or so of the sites are not level, not only that but they are narrow and where you sit is a slope making it very uncomfortable."

Access roads: navigation difficulties. Mountain roads can be difficult for larger vehicles. Nancy C. warns about Ryerson Station: "To get to the campground, you have to drive several miles on a two lane winding road. Hard to navigate a vehicle in those road conditions. You're in a mountainous area so don't depend on your GPS to get you there."

Tips for camping with families

Pool facilities: schedule-dependent availability. Raccoon Creek State Park Campground offers water recreation options. Jim L. notes: "This is my go to spot for camping when I have to just get away from it all. It's close to home plus it is a great place to take the dog out to swim and chase geese and ducks. A great little beach area to lay out and enjoy the sun."

Pet-friendly loops: designated areas only. Not all cabin sections allow pets. Raccoon Creek State Park has specific areas for campers with animals. Larry M. explains: "We were in sight 32 f loop. It is sunny so pick your spots. Clean rr's with good showers but a bit old. There is a lake with swimming and kayak rentals."

Wildlife encounters: proper preparation needed. Campers should secure food and be prepared for wildlife, especially in wooded cabin areas. Brian S. from Ryerson Station notes: "I've only ever camped here in the fall, when Greene County is at its most beautiful, and I've always had the campground (and most of the park) entirely to myself."

Tips from RVers

Seasonal water access: verify availability. Water hookups often shut down during colder months. At Chestnut Ridge Park and Campground, Dana G. reports: "The water pressure here is very weak, but there is a shower house that is kept fairly clean for you to use. We were able to connect to Starlink from our site."

Surface conditions: mostly gravel sites. Most cabin and RV sites feature gravel pads rather than concrete. "This site is fully gravel, so that's a bit of a turn off for us," notes Dana G. about Chestnut Ridge Park.

Utility reliability: power consistency. Electrical service tends to be reliable even when other utilities fluctuate. Josh W. from Coopers Rock State Forest confirms: "50amp - No issues. We had empty space on either side of us. New section is spaced out with a berm of earth in between alot of the sites."
