2 campgrounds with availability this weekend
French Creek State Park Campground near Elverson offers cabin accommodations alongside standard camping facilities, approximately 10 miles from Paoli. The cabins feature electricity, beds, and picnic tables with fire rings outside. Philadelphia-West Chester KOA in Coatesville provides cabin rentals with more amenities including electricity, picnic tables, and fire pits. Some cabins include private patios with upgraded furniture and built-in fire pits. A visitor noted, "We had a scenic site along the Brandywine River. The premium sites are nice with paver patios, Adirondack chairs, a nice table with four chairs and built-in fire pit!"
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Evansburg State Park Campground offers more basic cabin options while the Philadelphia South/Clarksboro KOA provides more furnished options with additional amenities. Most cabins require advance reservations, especially during summer months when occupancy is highest. Pet policies vary by location—Philadelphia-West Chester KOA allows pets at most cabin sites while some other facilities have restrictions. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, the West Chester KOA cabins are popular but can be expensive: "Well kept camp but far more expensive than it should be. The 4 premium sites are nice. $91 bucks a night is salty though."
Most cabins provide beds but require guests to bring their own linens, pillows, and toiletries. Cooking facilities vary by location—premium cabins may include small refrigerators or microwaves while rustic options typically provide only outdoor fire rings or grills. Camp stores at KOA locations stock basic provisions, firewood, and some grocery items. French Creek State Park and other state park facilities have more limited on-site supplies. Boulder Woods Campground and Spring Gulch Resort Campground, both within 30 minutes of Paoli, also offer cabin rentals with varying levels of amenities and furnishings.
"Two of the loops allow pets (A, C) and two do not. Loop D offers no hookups while Loops A-C offer a mix of no hookups, water/Electric, and full hookups."
"We stayed in loop C that allows pets. Very spacious sites. The paved parking spot was tight but a short walk down to the spacious fire pit picnic table area."

TravelerCountry Acres is a lovely, well maintained campground. Sites are level and bath house facilities clean and modern. Friendly staff in the office. Dog friendly. Local to all the Lancaster attractions. A complimentary farmland tour is offered by bus and it was great. They take you out into an area of Amish farms and shops and make a stop at 2 of these. The fresh Amish pretzels are amazing!
ScoutThe advertisements for Olde Mill Campground were disingenuous. The campsite was 20 yards from a roller coaster. The NOISE of the roller coaster and children on it screaming was as relentless and unnerving as any train we have ever slept near. There was no quiet until almost midnight. The “pull-through” site left my truck almost in the road and our 25’ Airstream slightly over the road on the backside. The site was not level. The sites were close enough to hear a neighbor’s snoring.
GuideThis campground is part of the Wharton State Forest and has several campgrounds in the area. Great wooded sites right on a lake. Pretty good separation between sites with good tree separation between sites. Some road noise not overly affecting site.
GuideWe stayed here to go to the Hershey RV show—about 55 min drive. Right in the center of Amish country. Campground is adults only. It was very clean. The bathrooms were very clean with great water pressure. The roads are tight for getting into sites. Site 5 was not level side to side. We met great people there.
ScoutThe campground is in excellent condition. The facilities are top notch. The excellence and care of the campground is evident. The 4 stars is only due to the road noise and many of the sites are on top of each other. You feel like your neighbor is at your camp fire.
ScoutAs far as experience it was good. The main issue was the campsite where we were was uneven and caused many of the sleeping arrangements that we had to be not level. This seems to be a specific issue to the group campsite number two as when we went inwards it seemed like everything else was much better.
GuideMary & her crew run a great campground. Full hookup. Slow schedule during the week-camp store & pool mainly. Saturdays always have activities planned from bingo to quarter auctions, picnics & music. Each Saturday is different. Clean grounds. Nice playgrounds. Kiddie pool & nice size pool from 3-5’ deep. 2 cabins also available.
GuideI personally did not like this campsite. First of all, our site tag was leftover from SEPTEMBER. Did no one look at any of these sites and leave someone else’s registration posted there for almost a year? Wild. Our campsite had trash leftover from previous campers. The whole campground was loud - from other campers to just the sounds from the nearby road. If you are looking for peace it is NOT here. If you’re looking to have loud music time all night with no repercussions as your kids ride around yelling and carrying on past midnight then you’ll have a blast. The pros of this campsite was supposed to be the access to Lake Atsion but we were turned away at the gate at 12:30 as they stated they were at capacity. Checking into our campsite they specifically asked if we would be utilizing the recreation area so we would have a pass for entry, but that’s seemingly not in their logistical headcount. I would not visit here again.
GuideA beautiful, well maintained park with lots to do, great bathroom facilities and extremely nice people. The electric sites aren't all together, so you don't have RV's lined up but maybe annoying for folks who are tent camping. Avoid the locations in the mid-30's by the dumpster, both staff and campers start shaking the lid around 6:30. Between 5 AM and noon staff were driving big trucks and ATV's around with loud reverse horns, and slamming the fire pit grills, which they store sideways. Overall I had a really wonderful time, but that's largely down to good sound reduction inside the van. Almost zero cell service. I was able to get a couple of text messages in and out, but seemed to be a fluke.
Camping cabins near Paoli, Pennsylvania provide rustic overnight accommodations in the Brandywine Valley region, where elevations range from 200-500 feet above sea level. The region experiences four distinct seasons with moderate precipitation year-round, making spring and fall particularly popular for cabin stays.

Fishing opportunities: French Creek State Park Campground offers two lakes stocked with multiple fish species. "There are two lakes, Scotts Run Lake and Hopewell Lake that you can fish, kayak, canoe or just relax by. There are several warm water fish in the lakes including northern pike, chain pickerel, bass, walleye, muskellunge and several types of panfish," notes a camper.
Disc golf course: Boulder Woods Campground features an extensive disc golf course popular with enthusiasts. "They do allow golf carts we saw gas and powered. Nice and quite. We had a great time and it's on our list as a successful tent camping location for us. The owners are AWESOME!" writes one reviewer who enjoyed the course.
Explore Amish country: While staying at cabin accommodations, take a day trip to nearby Amish farms. "Great no frills place to relax. No activities and not much open for touristy stuff due to Covid 19. But the daily views of fields, farmers plowing with horses or the buggys going by was great," writes a camper about the Lancaster area experience.
Private, wooded sites: Cabins at French Creek State Park Campground offer good separation from neighboring campers. "As long as you don't stay right across from the bath houses you will find ample shade at your site. There are so many trees and brush in between most sites you can't even really see your neighbors," shares one repeat visitor.
River views: Some premium cabin sites at Philadelphia-West Chester KOA include water views. "This was the first KOA we visited and I can't begin to say enough wonderful things about the whole campground. The sites, particularly those on the Brandywine River, have amazing views," notes a reviewer.
Accessibility to Philadelphia: Cabins provide a nature retreat while maintaining access to urban attractions. "This is a nice KOA with full hook ups, tent sites, cabins, and even glamping cabins. There is a pool that is open Memorial Day - Labor Day. They also have a catch and release pond and we found a pickleball court at a nearby city park," explains a camper who used their cabin as a base for city excursions.
Cabin amenities vary significantly: At Spring Gulch Resort Campground, newer cabins offer more amenities. "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."
Bring your own bedding: Most cabins provide beds but not linens. "The mini is 7.5 inches long. It has been great to travel with for our daughter. She uses it to eat everything from applesauce, hotdogs, mac and cheese, ice cream, Rita's and yogurt," noted a reviewer who mentioned packing essentials for their cabin stay.
Seasonal limitations: Some cabin amenities depend on time of year. "This was a last minute trip to end the season. Only stayed one night and most of the activities were closed due to it being November. Will definitely try this campground again when it's a bit warmer," shared a November visitor.
Playgrounds and activities: Evansburg State Park Campground offers family-friendly hiking trails near cabin accommodations. "Since he was 2 years old I've taken my son, and we always have an amazing time, either hiking the trails to wandering in the woods looking for 'adventures'," shares a parent who regularly visits with children.
Swimming options: Several campgrounds with cabins include swimming amenities for kids. "This campground was very nice. They had a live band one evening. Activities though the day were fun. Clean bath houses and staff was friendly. I would go back again to this campground even though it's close to home," reports a family about their experience.
Cabin proximity to bathrooms: When booking with children, consider location within the campground. "We camped here over Memorial Day weekend and it was full. Miniature golf course could use some upkeep as there was trash strewn throughout the course. There was a pond for swimming and there were dead fish. There was a craft show in the barn which was nice."
Cabin alternatives for RV owners: Lancaster-New Holland KOA provides both cabin and RV accommodations. "The campground is very clean, nice spots with gravel and nice views. The store was stocked well with essentials, and the women running the store was very helpful and friendly. The campground is very well lit and can be navigated easily at night."
Site preparation: For those transitioning between RVs and cabins, prepare accordingly. "We were in site 50 for this trip, however if you have a decent sized rig I would steer clear of this row. The road for this row is narrow and there is a fence that makes backing in more difficult, especially for a 30+ ft travel trailer."
Winter accommodations: Some cabin locations remain open year-round while others close seasonally. "Stayed over for one night in early December. Showers and bathrooms were great! If you're traveling through, there are many places to eat nearby. I'm a women in my thirties traveling alone and I felt very safe here."
