Cabin accommodations near Nazareth, Pennsylvania offer year-round options for travelers seeking shelter from the variable Lehigh Valley climate. Winter temperatures often drop below freezing with moderate snowfall, while summer brings humidity and temperatures in the 80s. Several properties maintain cabin rentals when most traditional campgrounds close between November and April.
What to do
Creek fishing access: Robin Hill Campground offers a catch-and-release pond popular with families. "Nice lake for fishing. About an hour from a motorbike riding park," notes Luis B., highlighting activities beyond the campground.
Mountain biking trails: At Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort, guests access downhill mountain biking via ski lifts during warm months. "Ride the ski lifts up to the top of the mountain then you get to bike down it, they have rental bikes available or bring your own," explains Lois.
Disc golf courses: Blue Mountain maintains an on-site disc golf course as part of its multi-season recreational offerings. "By far my favorite campground in PA. Staff was nice & showed us to our campground, hauled our firewood, and checked in regularly," reports Rosanna C.
Frisbee golf: At Robin Hill Campground, visitors can play the on-site Frisbee golf course in addition to traditional activities. "They also have a Frisbee golf course on site. There is a pond for fishing however we didn't have any luck," mentions Jen R.
What campers like
Concrete pads with fire features: Stonybrook RV Resort provides premium sites with permanent amenities. "The concrete pad/patio with Breeo smokeless fire pit, Adirondack chairs, and metal patio table and chairs made a great setup," shares Matt S. in his review.
Heated pools: Stonybrook maintains a heated pool behind the office area. "Their pool looked very nice although we did not use it. Same with their patio set up around the store," confirms Jonathan F.
Winter camping options: Unlike seasonal facilities, some parks remain operational year-round. "We stayed here during the winter January-February no activities going on. It does offer beautiful views especially covered in snow," Jamie S. reports about Stonybrook Resort.
Playground areas: Appalachian Camping Resort offers recreational facilities for children. "The area they gave us has permanent campers, some unsavory, so we have everything locked. The other side of the campground has full amenities, including a game house, cafe, grocery, putt putt, valley ball nets, and fishing pond," notes Cat R.
What you should know
Seasonal pricing variations: Campground rates fluctuate significantly throughout the year. "For $80 bucks I expected more. The place is run down and almost feels abandoned," Felix S. comments about Robin Hill during off-peak season.
Pet fees vary by location: Some campgrounds charge additional fees for pets. "More like a trailer park than a campground. No planned activities. No playground. Many people living here in campers that are in terrible shape, many with tarps covering them... including $10/night per pet. Never heard of paying for pets at a campground," warns Lorie B. about Pocono Point.
Terrain challenges: The hilly Poconos topography affects accessibility at many campgrounds. "Robin HILL for a reason. You will get your exercise walking to the pond, pool, capstone or basketball courts," explains Jen R. about Robin Hill Campground.
Resort fees: Some campgrounds add surcharges beyond their base rates. "There is an extra fee every day as a resort fee. If you want internet, you must buy it online, it is not provided," Stephanie S. notes about Robin Hill's pricing structure.
Tips for camping with families
Activity schedules vary seasonally: Thousand Trails Timothy Lake South offers structured events during peak season. "Simple Campground - nice lay out albeit as with many campgrounds, the spaces are quite close together. With a sparse population in the winter, it made for a great spot for a work stay," JL explains.
Age-appropriate recreation: Robin Hill offers activities for different age groups. "They had an art activity for the children, BINGO on Friday night, and a live band on Saturday night," Kim W. shares about Robin Hill's programming.
Playground quality considerations: Examine playground facilities when booking with children. "My kids explored the playground and found it sufficient," notes Ashley O. from Timothy Lake South.
Cell service for teens: Signal strength varies significantly between properties. "Cell service is awful for AT&T and our T-Mobile gateway. Had to move to a new site to get away from the trees to get starlink connectivity," reports Nick E. from Timothy Lake South.
Tips from RVers
Winter site availability: Village Scene Park operates year-round near the Lansdale/Doylestown SEPTA rail line. "We've stayed here a couple times in past. Have family in the area. Grew up in this area so very comfortable and easy access to lots of places! This visit we stayed six months may to October," Linda F. explains.
Narrow site dimensions: Many RV parks have limited spacing between units. "The site was nice and level side to side. Their pool looked very nice although we did not use it. Same with their patio set up around the store," notes Jonathan F. about Stonybrook RV Resort.
Water pressure variations: Preparation for different water systems helps prevent equipment damage. "Best water pressure I have seen on the east coast, unregulated it's over 80 psi," warns Don C. about Timothy Lake South.
Cellular connectivity for remote work: Coverage varies significantly between carriers at many parks. "Verizon is 25 down 10 up. Tmobile is unusable," Don C. reports from Timothy Lake South.
