Best Cabin Camping near Nottingham, PA

440 Reviews

Several state parks and private campgrounds near Nottingham, Pennsylvania provide rustic cabins and furnished cabin rentals with varying amenities. Ohiopyle State Park offers cabin rentals with electricity, heating options, and pet-friendly designated areas. Raccoon Creek State Park Campground features cabins with basic furnishings and access to modern bathrooms with hot showers. KOA locations, including Washington-Pittsburgh SW KOA and Madison-Pittsburgh S.E. KOA, provide more deluxe cabin options with kitchenettes, private bathrooms, and climate control systems. "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," notes one visitor to Ohiopyle State Park.

Rustic and modern cabins are available throughout the region, with options ranging from basic one-room structures to multi-bedroom family accommodations. Chestnut Ridge Regional Park offers both rustic and modern cabin options, with the rustic cabins featuring double bunks, stoves, and fireplaces but no running water, while modern cabins include three bedrooms with microwave, shower, and sink. Laurel Hill State Park maintains eight camper cabins within its four camping loops. Tomlinson Run State Park provides three cabins, including handicap-accessible options. Most state park cabins enforce strict quiet hours beginning at 9:00 PM with rangers patrolling regularly. Pet policies vary significantly by location, with some parks offering dedicated pet-friendly cabin areas and others prohibiting pets entirely.

Most cabin rentals provide beds with mattresses but require guests to bring their own linens, pillows, blankets, and towels. Kitchen facilities vary widely from basic fire rings with grills to fully equipped kitchenettes with refrigerators and microwaves. Firewood is typically available for purchase on-site, with prices ranging from $5-6 per bundle. Cabin campers should pack cooking utensils, dishwashing supplies, and food storage containers. While some KOA locations maintain small camp stores with essential items, most state park cabins are located in more remote settings requiring advance shopping. Cell service can be limited or non-existent in many cabin locations, particularly in the more wooded, non-pet sections of state parks.

    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!

    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.

    Kentuck Campground — Ohiopyle State Park

    Giant campground

    Stayed here with 10 other people. We had room for ten tents, fire pit, tons of camp chairs. Right next to hiking trail. Flush toilets, running water, easy to find. Parking spot. Well maintained.

Guide to Nottingham

Cabins near Nottingham, Pennsylvania range from basic shelters to rustic wood structures with varying amenities. The region sits within the Appalachian foothills with elevations ranging from 600 to 1,100 feet, creating diverse terrain for cabin camping opportunities. Temperature swings can be significant throughout the year, with summer highs often reaching 85°F and winter lows dropping below freezing.

What to do

Hiking trails access: Several campgrounds offer direct access to regional trail systems. At Raccoon Creek State Park Campground, guests can access over 40 miles of trails. "I had the most wonderful time on my first tent camping at Racoon Creek. We made a fire, hiked by the moonlight and swam at the warm lake at night," notes one visitor.

Water activities: Many cabin locations provide lake access for swimming and boating during summer months. "We did the Palomino Loop. It also was quite interesting getting to the trail. Some nice snow covered back roads," reports a winter visitor to Raccoon Creek State Park.

Mountain biking: The Coopers Rock State Forest offers technical trails for mountain biking enthusiasts. "Beautiful place to visit. The trails were well maintained, but be warned that the overlook is crowded," one camper notes about the terrain.

What campers like

Privacy levels: Some cabin areas offer more seclusion than others. At Keystone State Park, "The hillside one doesn't get near the crowds and it set in the woods. There are some very secluded sites," according to a recent visitor.

Seasonal wildlife viewing: Raccoon Creek State Park Campground delivers on its name with abundant wildlife. "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 regular visitor shares.

Evening campfires: Several locations maintain designated fire areas. At Madison-Pittsburgh S.E. KOA, "The campground hosted a gigantic bonfire the night we were there which was a sight!" according to a recent guest.

What you should know

Bathroom conditions: Facilities vary widely between locations. At Washington-Pittsburgh SW KOA, one guest reported: "The bathroom had some newer looking siding & some flowers, but the floor in the women's bathroom had holes in it. It smelled funny in there too. This place needs a major remodel!"

Site leveling challenges: Some cabin and RV areas require significant leveling equipment. "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," reports a camper about Washington-Pittsburgh SW KOA.

Water limitations: Cabin water systems can be minimal in certain areas. At Coopers Rock State Forest, "Electricity at sites but no water or sewer. A new section will be opening later this season that will have elec and water," notes a recent visitor.

Seasonal closures: Operating seasons vary by location. Many state park cabins close for winter, while some private facilities operate year-round with reduced amenities.

Tips for camping with families

Water park options: Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Mill Run offers extensive water features. "Mill run by far the best yogi bear/campground we have been to. Second time we have been & they have upgraded the water slides 4 huge slides plus big splash pad with little slide for smaller kids," reports an enthusiastic family.

Nature programming: Some sites offer organized activities for children. "Every week they organize different themes for bingo, and other games. They also have Sunday pancake days," notes a visitor to Madison-Pittsburgh S.E. KOA.

Playground access: Multiple cabin locations include play structures. "The campground is large with adjoining loops. There is a playground for the kids and plenty of room for them to play," remarks a visitor about state park facilities.

Tips from RVers

Approach routes: Some cabin areas have challenging access roads. "Very steep narrow roads to access campground and sites. Sites not level and noisy, next to highway," warns a visitor about Washington-Pittsburgh SW KOA.

Seasonal site selection: Consider sun exposure when booking cabins in summer. "Loop f is pet friendly. We were in sight 32 f loop. It is sunny so pick your spots," advises a camper at Raccoon Creek State Park.

Dump station logistics: Not all cabin areas with RV access offer full hookups. At Coopers Rock State Forest, "Dump station on the way out. 50amp - No issues," notes a recent RV camper describing the arrangements.
