Best Cabin Camping near Mount Wolf, PA

State parks and private campgrounds around Mount Wolf, Pennsylvania feature rustic cabins with varying amenities and comfort levels. Gifford Pinchot State Park offers camping cottages like the Dragonfly cabin, which includes "one double bed, one single twin bunk, and one regular set of bunk beds, so it sleeps 5-6 comfortably. There was also a sturdy dining room table with chairs and an oscillating fan inside. Electricity/lights and heat, but no AC," according to one visitor. These cabins typically include front porches, picnic tables, and fire rings, with some offering lake views. Thousand Trails properties in the region provide cottage rentals with more extensive amenities, while KOA locations like Elizabethtown-Hershey KOA feature pet-friendly cabin options with convenient access to local attractions.

Cabin types range from basic rustic structures to fully furnished units with private bathrooms. Spring Gulch Resort Campground offers newer cabins that are "super clean inside" with "a set of bunk beds, a queen bed, and a fold out couch. It also had a bathroom with shower/tub and everything you would need except linens," as one camper noted. Most state park cabins are more minimalist, providing electricity and heat but requiring guests to use communal bathhouses. Pet policies vary significantly between properties, with some cabins being designated pet-friendly for an additional fee. Reservations are essential during peak season (April through October), particularly for weekend stays and holiday periods. Thousand Trails properties require membership for access to their cabin rentals, while state parks can be booked through the Pennsylvania DCNR reservation system.

Most cabin rentals provide basic furnishings but require guests to bring their own linens, pillows, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary widely, from cabins with no cooking amenities beyond an outdoor fire ring to those equipped with refrigerators, microwaves, and basic cooking supplies. Campers should pack food, cooking equipment, and cleaning supplies appropriate to their cabin's amenities. Firewood is typically available for purchase at campground offices or from hosts, with prices around $5 per bundle. General stores at larger campgrounds stock basic groceries, ice, and camping necessities. For more extensive shopping, grocery stores can be found in nearby towns, with many campers stocking up before arrival. Visitors planning longer stays should consider bringing additional comfort items like fans during summer months, as most cabins lack air conditioning despite having heat for cooler weather.

    Gifford Pinchot State Park Campground

    Large, pretty park in a very convenient location

    Site Details: We stayed in the Dragonfly camping cottage (quick weekend trip without the husband, and I’m not quite up for towing and setting up the popup by myself with 3 kids!). 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. There was also a sturdy dining room table with chairs and an oscillating fan inside. Electricity/lights and heat, but no AC. Very clean inside. The cabin also had a really nice front porch, picnic table, and fire ring, and was situated with a beautiful lake view. The area we were in contained both rustic cabins and yurts (which looked really neat).

    Facilities/Overall Park: Multiple bath houses were scattered among various loops, and each one we visited was very old, dim and drab, but they were also spacious and reasonably clean. Showers all had old rust and water stains. However, it was nice that there were so many of them, because this is a very large state park with multiple camping loops. Most tent and basic RV sites were shaded and private, while the newer FHU sites were more open (but still nicely spaced). Hosts and rangers were nice, but not very helpful or proactive when they needed to correct a reservation mistake they made (but it worked out in the end). There is a beautiful lake with a really nice day area in the center of the park, with a great playground and concession stand. The lake is popular for fishing and swimming, although there is oddly no sand beach; swimmers just entered the water straight from the grass.

    Surrounding Area/Attractions: Not much going on in the immediate vicinity, but Harrisburg, Amish country, and Hershey are all doable day trips from the park. We were here just for the Hershey RV show, and it was an easy 40-minute drive.

    Overall, this was a very pretty park with site options for every type of camper, but certain elements are in need of updating. I don’t think I’d go out of my way to make this park a destination, but it’s a nice option as a base camp for visiting the RV show or other attractions (with a much cheaper price tag than the private CGs closer to the action).

    Gettysburg / Battlefield KOA

    Amazing campground!

    We stayed for 10 days in a rustic cabin. Campground is well organized and clean. Tons of activities and even a hiking path. Pet friendly with small dog park. We had civil war soldiers drilling and staying the weekend we were there. Bathrooms are super clean.

    Merry Meadows Recreation Farm

    Quiet Family Fun

    What a wonderful place! The resort is spacious, scattered throughout the woods. The RV sites are comfortable with all the amenities. And the customer service is impeccable.

    We stayed during a few weekdays in October and we almost had the whole place to ourselves. We stayed in one of the cabins, which had 2 beds and a bunk bed, sink and toilet, refrigerator, microwave, dining table and sofa. There was also a front porch with picnic table and fire pit.

    Honestly, the beds were not very comfortable and way too small for a couple to sleep in one. It was a VERY dark walk to get to the bathhouse for showers. And the fire pit had no grill, so we ended up having to use the stoves of some RV camping friends for meals. Otherwise the stay was great.

    I would strongly recommend camping there in the summer months or during weekends in the shoulder season if you have social kids like mine. There were tons of things to do there for adults and kids alike. The activities — such as putt-putt, jump zone and the playground ended up being kinda boring for them without others to share it with. Obviously that would change with crowds. And advance reservations are a must — this place books up fast!

    I would highly recommend staying at Merry Meadows, especially if you have an RV and a group of friends to join you!

    Gifford Pinchot State Park Campground

    Basic amenities and activities for the average camper

    Large campground with electric RV/camper sites as well as non-electric tent sites. Several bathroom and shower facilities. Lake-side sites are available and each site comes equipped with a picnic table, fire ring, and parking spot. Friendly staff, decently maintained. There were several planks missing from our picnic table and the parking spot was a mud hole. Some pet friendly sites are available as well. A snapping turtle stopped by for a visit at our campsite and ended up laying eggs! Quite a sight to see, there is plenty of wildlife around to enjoy during your stay.

    Spring Gulch Resort Campground

    Great staff, very quiet

    Mostly an RV campground, but does have a few campsites and cabins. Campsites can be on top of each other and can be very rocky or muddy. We actually broke quite a few tent stakes just trying to get our footprint down.

    The campsites available are primitive or have water and electric and bathhouses / restrooms are located in a few spots around the park.

    Fire rings are at each site, but appear to get moved a lot.

    The camp store sells firewood for $5 per cord and has other necessities, including coffee.

    Some cabins, like those in my photos, are brand new and have everything you would need to set up house minus linens, towels, toilet paper , paper goods and toiletries.

    Would definitely revisit.

    French Creek State Park Campground

    Feels crowded

    This PA state park felt, upon first impression, very tightly spaced and had an overall crowded feel in loop C, the only dog friendly electric loop. The sites that aren’t ADA have more space between them than we did.  Our site C41 was full hookup as are several others (1-7, 39-47). This is an ADA site, there are several of them. Perhaps this is why it’s crowded so they could fit extra ADA sites? They are very level and have paved pads, but also a paved picnic pad, and paved fire ring pad. Non ADA full hookup sites appeared to be the nicest though they were narrow and some weren’t level side to side. There were a lot of rocks embedded in the ground around and on many sites. Non ADA sites have only a paved pad for the RV. The picnic table and fire ring were behind our RV and when sitting at them, we were within view of sites 37, 39, and 40. I felt like I was in a townhouse setting. Non ADA sites varied as to where picnic and fire rings were set. Also many sites looked like there was quite a drop off at the edge of the already narrow pad so that you had a big step down off your last RV step. Site C42 is ADA and is a nice, semi private, spacious site. Though I’d choose from sites  #1-7 next time. ALL parking pads are 45’ long.

    Loop B has a mix of electric and non electric but doesn’t allow pets. That loop was more spacious and had trees between some  sites so it felt  more private. The sites appeared level. There are Yurts and mini cabins outside Loop C that had lots of space around them. Loop A is a pet loop but no electric. However, it’s closed now for what appears to be renovations. Loop D is non electric, no pets.

    The campground had no vacancy on this particular weekend. One car allowed per site and most had to park perpendicular. Sites were short (45’ long). 2nd cars are $5 a night but wouldn’t fit in most sites.

    The day use areas have frisbee golf, boat rentals, fishing, hunting, hiking, and a pool that overlooks the lake. Hopewell Furnace National Historic Site is adjacent to the park but was not fully open due to covid. It’s a large state park. The pool was nice looking but not open until Memorial Day. Boat rentals are available weekends in May and Sept. and daily all summer. These amenities were far from the campground and would require driving your car. Hiking trails were plentiful but most were labeled as “more difficult.”  Horse back riding is allowed on some trails. I didn’t see any trails that started at the campground loops. 

    Overall, it’s an adequate campground but not my favorite.

    Thousand Trails PA Dutch Country

    Camping in Amish Country @ Its Best

    I don’t know if the Amish camp, but regardless, if you’d like to experience what it’s like to go camping in Amish country then Thousand Trails PA Dutch Country RV Resort has you covered. First of all, whenever I see that word ‘resort’ I always wonder – is it really a resort? And, well, while we're on that particular question, what makes a place a resort in the first place? In my estimation, a resort has to have a pool and likely some of those splash pools, probably gated or requires some sort of secure admittance, full of recreation options, is a restful respite and (very probably) features a Tiki Hut or some version of an outdoor bar that is serving up delicious libations. Apart from that very last amenity, this particular RV campground destination ticks most of the boxes.

    So, should you be looking for an authentic Quaker environ to enjoy some of the best of what the great Keystone State has to offer, then you might want to give PA Dutch Country RV Resort some consideration, but before you do, you’ll need to secure a membership with Thousand Trails in order to access this, and indeed the other 250 or so other campgrounds this camping conglomerate has throughout the US. The biggest downside to this particular campground is its very close proximity to the PA Turnpike, which while convenient, might detract a bit from the peace & quiet you might be expecting when here at your new-found camping ‘resort.’ That said, as the PA Dutch Country RV Resort rests at a slightly higher elevation than the turnpike, I have to admit, we really didn’t notice much of any noise coming from the highway and what’s more, this campground is completely surrounded by a fairly dense forest, which likely is what blocks any irritable sound and most certainly blocks any highway or traffic visibility.

    Should you decide to leave ‘the reservation’ for any reason, you’ll be engulfed by the incredibly rich, verdant countryside populated by incredibly rural residents who’s ancestors settled this vast rich farmland a few hundred years ago. Today, the Pennsylvania Dutch countryside (of which my Irish ancestors intermingled with a long time ago) is a combination of rolling hills in a plush countryside punctuated by massive rolled bays of hay in the surrounding fields, covered wooden bridges and the occasional quaint New England well-preserved charming towns that you will be sure to encounter. So, if you have camping on your mind, discovering a spot like PA Dutch Country RV Resort places you in the heart of one of the most picturesque natural landscapes anywhere in the Keystone State.

    Should you need directions to this campground, it’s just off Exit 44 of PA Turnpike or Exit 60 & 60A off of I78. Here at PA Dutch Country RV Resort you’ll encounter a destination offering up 267 back-in and pull-through slots with full hook-ups (30 / 50 amp electric, water and sewage) for RVs in the midst of a fairly decent wooded surrounding with about 6 tent sites offering 15 amp electric and running water. You will discover that no matter where you look on this property, you will have to contend with sloping land as this campground appears to be situated right on the side of a heavily wooded hill. That said, we didn’t have any problems laying out our campsite that came with the standard-issued picnic table and in-ground fold-up fire ring. Don’t have an RV, 5th Wheeler or Tent? Not a problem, as the good folks here at PA Dutch Country RV Resort will rent you one of their 3 cottages for the night.

    As previously mentioned, with the term ‘resort’ there should be a ton of amenities that one conjures up and PA Dutch Country RV Resort does not disappoint with plenty of amenities, inclusive of: 3 fairly massive restroom & shower facilities, Wi-Fi service (at a cost), trading post / camp store, swimming pool, walking paths, clubhouse/ office, playing card room, church service, crafts & arts, family bingo, community library, mini golf course, basketball court, horseshoe pits, kids playgrounds, fire pit, designated picnic & BBQ areas, ranger station, recreation hall, cornhole, basketball court, designated dump stations, water stations, ice for sale, propane refueling station, RV storage, Laundry-O-Mat and pet friendly.

    Insider’s tips? Here’s a few: (1) If you are an RVer or 5th Wheeler, the best sites IMHO are those that back up to the periphery and are northernmost up the slight embankment as you’ll have greater privacy and less noise being furthest away from all of the action in the center of this campground resort – these sites include: #C1– C5, #D9– D17 and #E44– E49; (2) Should you grow weary of trying to conjure up that next meal from the depths of your Cordova roto-molded cooler or from the confines of your onboard mini-fridge, while there’s not a ton of restaurants around these parts, there are a few and they are pretty amazing, including favorites Brick Tavern Inn and The West End, McCoole’s @ The Historic Red Lion Inn and Sage Alley Brewery; (3) In the event that you need to replenish any of your supplies, rest assured as in nearby Quakertown, there’s a Giant & Aldi’s grocery store as well as a local Target, Walmart, TJMaxx, Kohl’s and Link Beverages to stock up on the 21+ liquid refreshment; (4) Should you be towing your canoe or kayak with you and are eager to get the beak of your waterbird wet, then head on over due east of Quakertown Campground to Nockamixon SP where there’s a sizeable, yet skinny lake just begging for you to navigate it and get some good, hard oaring in; and (5) As a tent camper, while there are only 6 or so spots to choose from, you’ll be happy to know that these are also located on the periphery, with #L1& L2 being southernmost, which I would avoid altogether as this places you too close to the highway) and #T9– T12, which are located northernmost and are the best tent campsites to book.

    Happy Camping!

    Spring Gulch Resort Campground

    Quiet campground with pool

    Overview: nice quiet campground with a variety of campsites and a pretty good camp store.

    Site: this review is of the campsite and cabin we stayed in. Most of the campsite options are fairly level, but are very rocky, so this is something to keep in mind if you are tent camping. We have heavy duty solid steel pegs and still had trouble pegging everything down. Some of the cabins were recently added and are super clean inside. The one we stayed in had a set of bunk beds, a queen bed, and a fold out couch. It also had a bathroom with shower /tub and everything you would need except linens.

    Bathroom: the bathhouse had individual bathrooms and showers. Each was pretty clean and spacious.

    Amenities: Campsite with $5 firewood, coffee and ice cream. Mini golf Fishing pond Pool

    PROS: Quiet campground Pool open seasonally Nice staff

    CONS: No walking trails

    Have stayed here before and will stay here again.


Guide to Mount Wolf

Camping cabins near Mount Wolf, Pennsylvania provide a year-round gateway to central Pennsylvania's rolling hills and fertile valleys. Located in York County at approximately 400 feet elevation, this area experiences four distinct seasons with summer highs averaging 85°F and winter lows frequently below freezing. Most cabin camping locations remain open from April through October, with several parks offering winter accommodations for cold-weather enthusiasts.

What to do

Fishing opportunities: The 1,275-acre lake at Gifford Pinchot State Park offers excellent shoreline access for anglers. One visitor reported, "We caught a handful of bass and an absurd amount of bluegill from shore." Remember to purchase your fishing license as "the rangers in this park check."

Disc golf courses: Play through two distinct 18-hole courses in different terrain styles. "The course in the Conewago area is relatively flat, whereas the Quaker Race course is built into the side of the hill leading into the QR day use area, so it is a lot more wooded and hillier," notes one experienced disc golfer. Be aware of poison ivy along some courses.

Hiking trails: Explore the 8.5-mile Lakeside Trail that circumnavigates Pinchot Lake. A hiker described it as "really awesome to see the lake from all different angles." For families with younger children, many campgrounds offer shorter nature trails through wooded areas with interpretive signs identifying local flora.

Farm animal interactions: Visit Thousand Trails Gettysburg Farm where kids can interact with farm animals daily. "We enjoyed mini-golf, feeding the animals, 'hiking' through the cornfield, fishing, and campfires," explains one family. The farm has scheduled feeding times where visitors can participate in caring for goats, pigs, chickens, horses, and even llamas.

What campers like

Clean facilities: Bathhouses throughout the region maintain high standards with regular cleaning schedules. At Elizabethtown-Hershey KOA, visitors noted, "Spotless bathrooms. Nice pool and playgrounds. Not a lot of traffic. Quiet. Friendly. Price is fair and not nearly as expensive as many other KOAs but the quality is just as good!"

Family-friendly activities: Seasonal programming keeps kids engaged throughout their stay. Cedar Lake Family Campground earned praise as one camper explained, "This campground has it all, friendly staff, activities galore, cleanliness, & fun, fun, fun." Most cabin-equipped campgrounds offer weekend events during peak season with themed weekends, crafts, and organized games.

Wooded privacy: Many campgrounds offer sites with natural separation between neighbors. At Codorus State Park, a visitor shared, "We were in 132, which was huge and had nice open flat areas for the tent, there were actually three spots that we could have put it on, and lots of trees to hang our hammocks and options for our tarps." The park's "full shade" sites provide natural barriers while remaining accessible.

Swimming options: Public pools and beach areas offer relief during hot summer months. "The LARGE beach area in the QR day use area is one of the nicest I've ever seen at a PA state park, with tons of picnic tables with grills, a playground, a volleyball court, and a special fence solution to keep the stupid geese out of the water in the swimming area," observed one visitor to Pinchot State Park.

What you should know

Site selection strategy: Arrive early for first-come, first-served campgrounds to secure prime locations. At Thousand Trails Hershey, a camper advised, "The first thing to know is that Thousand Trails sites are a first come, first serve. Meaning you have to arrive early in order to get the best spots. They don't reserve sites for you. For everyone complaining about driving around and not finding spots, if you get there early enough around 1 pm, you won't have a problem."

Uneven terrain: Many campgrounds in the region feature sloped sites requiring leveling equipment. One camper at Thousand Trails PA Dutch Country reported, "Campground loses a star because the sites are pretty uneven. Not just the one we're on but others as well. The campground is pretty hilly and they don't seem to want to level out the sites. We had to go out and get more blocks and we're still not very level front to back."

Noise factors: Train tracks and shooting ranges affect several campgrounds in the area. A visitor to Pinch Pond Family Campground mentioned, "Main drawback is noise from road and shooting range nearby. Fortunately our dog wasn't bothered by the sound of gunshots and it's only during the day." Similarly, at Hersheypark Camping Resort, "Nice camp ground but super loud bc of the trains. Bath houses are nice and clean. I would suggest making sure you aren't close to the tracks bc the trains run all night long!"

Water quality issues: Some campgrounds experience occasional problems with water clarity. One camper noted rusty water at a Thousand Trails location: "Water was rusty in our row came out brown at first then was tan after running through our filter for the entire stay." Consider bringing extra water filters if you plan to use campground water supplies.

Tips for camping with families

Pool availability: Check pool hours when camping with children as schedules vary seasonally. A family at Pinch Pond Family Campground appreciated that "unlike most campgrounds, the pool stayed open pretty late so that was a huge bonus for me." Many campgrounds restrict swimming to daylight hours with lifeguards present only during peak season.

Kid-friendly amenities: Look for campgrounds with dedicated playgrounds and game rooms. One parent shared, "Their game room has tickets. This is the one and only campground we have ever visited that gave tickets for playing games and my kids LOVED IT! It was like camping and going to chuckie cheese at the same time."

Animal attractions: Farm experiences create lasting memories for younger campers. A visitor to Gettysburg Farm explained, "We came with 3 kids. They LOVED the animals and we fed them at the allotted time every morning and went to visit at other times." Children particularly enjoy the supervised interaction with baby goats and other farm animals.

Tips from RVers

Site dimensions: Request specific information about pad sizes when booking cabins or RV sites. At Hersheypark Camping Resort, an RVer observed, "It is a nice camp ground but the lower drive threw spots are packed together. Our 32' with slides just fit the sight and we had zero room for the truck. They have other spots up on the hill but would have been more of a challenge with our rig."

Separate pet sections: Some campgrounds designate specific areas for campers with pets. At Gifford Pinchot State Park, a camper appreciated that "it was nice that the pet area is separate from those of us who don't have pets or want quiet from dogs barking." These designated pet loops help maintain a peaceful experience for all campers.

Utility hook-up locations: Be prepared with extension cords and longer water hoses. One RVer mentioned a challenging sewer connection, noting, "Water pressure is pretty low and the sewer pipe is a little high but all around a really solid experience." Bringing utility extensions ensures you can connect regardless of site configuration.
