Rustic cabins near Noxen provide varying levels of comfort and amenities across several state parks and private campgrounds. Ricketts Glen State Park Campground offers cabins with electricity but no running water, while Worlds End State Park features cabins with wood-burning stoves for heat. Highland Campgrounds and Cozy Creek Family Campground provide more developed cabin options with electric hookups. Most cabins include basic furnishings such as bunk beds, tables, and chairs. "The cabins generally sleep 6-8 very comfortably with 4 double bunk beds in most. The cabins also have electricity and include a stove and refrigerator," noted one visitor to Worlds End State Park.
Depending on the campground, cabin styles range from basic rustic structures to more comfortable accommodations with kitchen facilities. Lackawanna State Park and Hickory Run State Park operate seasonally, typically from April through October, while others like Ricketts Glen remain open year-round. Pet policies vary significantly between locations, with some parks designating specific pet-friendly cabins. Reservations are essential, particularly during summer months when availability becomes limited. A camper at Pioneer Campground observed, "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 cabin rentals require guests to bring their own linens, pillows, and toiletries. Cooking facilities vary widely between locations - some cabins feature refrigerators and stoves while others provide only outdoor fire rings with grates. Whispering Pines Camping Estates and Slumber Valley Campground offer cabins with more extensive amenities including trash service and drinking water. Firewood is typically available for purchase at campground offices or nearby stores, often through honor systems after hours. Grocery options are limited in the immediate Noxen area, so stocking up before arrival is recommended. One visitor to Worlds End noted, "The cabins stay very warm with a wood burning stove - sometimes even too warm and windows need to stay cracked open."

Peaceful State Park Camping in the Fall
This is a large campground with a wide array of campsites so be careful attention when you book online, especially if you have a pet because some sites are not pet-friendly. Some are 50-amp full hook-up and some are primitive with no hook-ups.
There is a nice nature center with interesting interpretive exhibits and lots of informational brochures including ones about the hiking trails, bears, scat and tracks of local animals, and fishing. Our site was at the edge of the campground and backed up to Route 534 which resulted in a bit of road noise at our site. Other than the road noise the campground was pretty quiet and was not very crowded when we camped there in October.
Not all sites are level and we happened to book one that was not and we had to live with a slant for our stay. The roads in the park are gravel/dirt and since it rained the day we arrived the roads were a muddy mess which made the roads slippery and there were lots of potholes. Unfortunately, some campers were disrespectful and left bags of trash in the fire pit and scattered around their site which was totally unnecessary because there were dumpsters plenty of dumpsters in the campground. Since we camped at Hickory Run late in the season, there were no camp hosts and the trash never got picked up.
The campground is open from mid-April to mid-December; however, the shower facilities and dump station are not available after the third week of October so plan accordingly. We really like the hiking trails which are of varying degrees of difficulty and lengths. The Hawk Falls is a nice easy walk (1.4 miles round-trip) to a waterfall but is extremely popular so don’t think you will be admiring the falls alone. The parking lot at this trail head fills up fast so you better get there early if you want to get a spot.
You can enter the park from two different directions. If you have a big-rig, it is best to approach from the east side. We made the mistake of coming in from the west side as we dropped down from I-80 and came down 534 and the road was really windy with no shoulder. Luckily, there was very little traffic so we could go 10 mph and safely navigate the roads.
Be aware alcohol is not allowed in PA state parks. This park does allow hunting in certain sections of the park. The no-hunting areas are clearly marked with white no hunting signs on trees and you can also pick up a brochure from the office that designates hunting and no-hunting sections.

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!

Lackawanna State Park Campground
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.

Beautiful forest
Gorgeous forested area in the Poconos. We stayed on the Rattlesnake Loop which was lovely. Sites not super private but most nestled in trees. The only bummer was that that Campground Loop didn’t have any direct links to the trail network and was far from it. The other Campground Loop was closer to trails and office. Would return!

Great cabins!
We booked a cabin at the last minute and were pleasantly surprised that the cabin had heat and electricity! It was very close to the awesome heated bathroom also! We were also able to catch a beautiful sunset! Great camp all around!

Quiet getaway
The state park is beautiful. The site was very nice. The park itself is very big with many activities available such as boat rentals and a swimming pool. There's also an amphitheatre which hosts specials. During our stay the only activity we made it to was the pool. The main reason we didn't do more was the distance. We have a motorhome so we didn't have additional vehicles to get to and from places. We walked to the park which according to my Fitbit was 1.5 miles away. That doesn't seem too bad until you realize it's mostly hills in both directions! We are a fairly active young family who has no problem with a bit of a walk but after that experience we decided to just spend the remainder of our trip hanging out at our site. It's a good thing we only stayed 2 nights because our 10 year old might've lost his mind with boredom if we stayed longer. Overall, the site we had was great and I'd recommend it. My husband and I may come back for a couples date weekend.

Tobyhanna State Park Campground
Awesome lakeside camping 🤩
We were looking for a lakeside campground with a spacious campsite that could comfortably fit two large tents and two vehicles. We chose Tobyhanna State Park, and it turned out to be absolutely wonderful.
We stayed at Site 113, which had plenty of space on the right side of the campsite for two large tents, with enough room to park two vehicles as well. While the campsites are fairly close to one another, most visitors come here to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet, and everyone seemed very respectful of each other’s privacy.
Just a one-minute walk from our campsite, there was a very clean restroom, hot showers, and a laundry facility. Right next to it, there was a volleyball court, as well as easy access to the lake with a boat launch and great spots for fishing.
On our very first day, the park rangers warned us that bears sometimes visit the campground, so they recommended storing all food in the car overnight. We followed their advice and had no issues.
Overall, I would give Tobyhanna State Park a perfect 10 out of 10. We had an amazing experience and will definitely be coming back!
Guide to Noxen
Camping cabins near Noxen, Pennsylvania offer visitors access to the Endless Mountains region at elevations ranging from 1,200 to 2,300 feet. These woodland accommodations provide shelter during the area's four distinct seasons, including winters with average snowfall of 40-60 inches annually. Most cabins require 2-night minimum stays during peak summer months from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
What to do
**Waterfall exploration: Within 20 minutes of most cabin sites, Ricketts Glen State Park features 22 named waterfalls along marked trails. "The hike is definitely not for the easily winded people, or anyone with bad knees, the hike down was pretty steep at some points but very well maintained! and the hike back up was again steep but maintained! and you got different falls to look at both ways," notes Anne P. from Ricketts Glen State Park Campground.
**Seasonal lake activities: Swimming beaches and boat rentals operate from late May through early September at several parks. "Amy V. from Lackawanna State Park Campground reports, "The swimming beach looked nice. They do have boat rental," making it suitable for families seeking water recreation during summer months.
**Boulder Field exploration: A unique geological feature accessible via wooded drives from cabins west of Noxen. "The Boulder Fields are one of the coolest places I've ever visited, partially because they were so unexpected. Don't twist an ankle, but you can play hide and seek to an extent as there are small depressions in the fields," shares Amber A. at Hickory Run State Park.
What campers like
**Privacy levels between sites: Some cabin areas offer more secluded experiences than others. At Pioneer Campground, Gregory L. explains, "The sites themselves are well kept and have a big fire pit and picnic table. I would suggest getting there while it is still light out, there is plenty of room on the roads to get your rig around the campground, but there are lots of trees and it gets a little hard sometimes to see where the road is vs a site."
**Winter options for cold-weather enthusiasts: Several year-round cabin locations remain accessible during snowy months. "I would love to come back in the winter when they have an ice rink with a warming house," mentions Michael from Lackawanna State Park Campground, highlighting off-season recreation opportunities.
**Creek-side settings: Many cabins feature water proximity that enhances the outdoor experience. At Slumber Valley Campground, Corey P. shares, "We stayed right along the water! Be sure to hike to the stunning waterfalls! The campground is located close to market- a 3 minute drive into town for any food you may need."
What you should know
**Cell service limitations: Connectivity varies significantly between cabin locations. A camper at Worlds End State Park Campground notes, "No cell service, which is refreshing. The sound of the creek nearby is really soothing," indicating this location works better for those wanting digital detachment.
**Shower facility differences: Bathhouse quality and availability differs between properties. Lee D. observed at Worlds End, "Very clean, heated, and the showers appear to be in good condition. There was also a dishwashing sink with dish detergent INSIDE the bathhouse (women's– not sure about men's!), something I have never seen before but which was appreciated in the colder months."
**Supply planning needs: Most cabins require guests to bring specific items and stock up beforehand. "The nearest Walmart is about 25-30 minutes away so just have everything you need before you come," advises Charlie & Danielle B. at Whispering Pines Camping Estates, reflecting the rural nature of cabin locations.
Tips for camping with families
**Age-appropriate hiking trails: Select paths suitable for children's abilities and interests. At Hickory Run State Park Campground, Jennifer D. mentions, "nice and clean and lots of trails. we were warned to be cautious about leaving food out as there have been some bear sightings. Not much of a playground. All in all a pretty Park."
**Entertainment options for rainy days: Consider cabins with indoor amenities or nearby alternatives when weather doesn't cooperate. At Pioneer Campground, campers note the "store is well stocked with supplies, t shirts, and some RV necessities," providing emergency supplies when plans change.
**Playground accessibility: Some cabin locations feature better child-focused facilities than others. At Cozy Creek Family Campground, Michael B. observes that the "Campground is based around kids, there's a lot for them to do!" which may influence family cabin selection decisions.
Tips from RVers
**Site leveling considerations: Some cabin areas feature terrain that requires additional equipment. At Hickory Run, Shirley M. reports, "We had a full hook-up site in the back loop, pet friendly part of the campground. The sites in this loop were spacious and more in an open area, but we were along a wooded area which gave us some shade."
**Off-season availability: Winter cabin access varies significantly between properties. Red Rock Mountain Campground stays accessible for cold-weather activities, with Kait D. noting it's a "Peaceful little campground five minutes from Ricketts Glen State Park. Accommodating and friendly hosts, clean bath house and firewood for sale on site."
**Road conditions to cabins: Access routes vary in quality and navigability. April L. from Cozy Creek Family Campground warns, "The road in (Vacation lane) is dirt, rough and narrow. There is presently no gate as well so the public can just drive in," highlighting potential challenges for vehicles with lower clearance.
