Cabin camping near Perkiomenville, Pennsylvania offers year-round options with distinctly different seasonal experiences. Located in Montgomery County at approximately 200 feet above sea level, this region experiences mild winters and warm, humid summers.

What to do
Boulder field exploration: At Blue Rocks Family Campground, visitors can explore a unique glacier rock field near their cabins. "Our campsite had a great view of the glacier rock field and the corn field. There is really something for everyone at this campground... glacier rock field to explore and hiking trials."
Disc golf course: Boulder Woods Campground maintains a disc golf course that's popular among guests. "That's where we fell in love with disc golf. They also have a disc golf course and they rent and sell discs," mentions one visitor. The course winds through wooded areas, making it challenging for both beginners and experienced players.
Trout fishing: Multiple streams near Evansburg State Park Campground provide fishing opportunities. "I caught a beautiful Brown Trout here a few weeks ago! Great park. You need a license to fish, and if you plan on catching Trout you need the Trout endorsement on the fishing licence, currently $9.90."
What campers like
Cabin privacy: Tent campers at Little Red Barn Campground appreciate the secluded primitive sites. "I immediately went to the office to ask to move to a primitive site and they allowed us to move without any issues. We ended up setting up camp at site 31 - which was spacious enough for two large tents and very private."
Seasonal activities: Colonial Woods Family Resort organizes themed weekends throughout their operating season. "We had such a fun time during the summer between the pool, fishing at the pond and all the amazing amenities! They did a few activities the one we did go to was the casino night where they had separate play areas for kids and adults."
Winter cabin options: At French Creek State Park Campground, cabins remain available through winter months. "Stayed over for one night in early December. Showers and bathrooms were great! The honor system of payment at the office makes it really easy to come in late and leave early, make sure you have cash on you."
What you should know
Bath house locations: At several campgrounds, bathroom facilities may be distant from primitive sites or cabins. At Ringing Rocks Family Campground, "if you're tent camping the bathrooms are FAR and I highly doubt no one has ever peed outside at night instead of navigating through the night to them."
Cabin restrictions: Some locations have specific rules about pets in cabins. "While we managed to get one of the dog friendly ones here, they are limited in number and Hill's Creek had no such cabins," notes a visitor to Nockamixon State Park Cabins.
Site variability: Even at the same campground, cabin and site quality can vary significantly. One camper at Little Red Barn Campground noted, "Site Quality: Varies. Sites 68 and 69 are next to the field sites and aside from having electricity and water and a faint gravel camper pad, there is not much to distinguish them from the field sites."
Tips for camping with families
Age-appropriate activities: Quakerwoods Campground offers recreational options for different age groups. "We have visited Quakerwoods campground three years in a row with a large group including several kids. The kids have been able to enjoy a hayride and the Halloween decor that some of the seasonal campers display."
Cabin access: For families with mobility concerns, ask about accessibility. "Our site was almost level but in order to reach the electric connection, we were sloped slightly downhill side-to-side," reports one camper at Little Red Barn Campground.
School break planning: During summer vacation periods, advance reservations become essential. At French Creek State Park, "sites were not on top of each other. Bathrooms were very nice and clean with large showers. Nice area to wash dishes. Very nice playground area and clean."
Tips from RVers
Site assistance: Staff at some locations will help position your vehicle. At Boulder Woods Campground, "The spots are tight to get into but the staff will offer to park your camper using your vehicle. I let them park mine and I'm really glad I did. It was super tight."
Electrical hookups: Cabin campers and RVers should verify power availability. "Six of the sites are 'field sites' – on grass. Our site was chosen for us. Sites 68 and 69 are next to the field sites and aside from having electricity and water and a faint gravel camper pad, there is not much to distinguish them."
Campsite layout: Some locations arrange sites to separate tent campers from RVs. "As a tent camper, I was impressed by how Quakerwoods segregates mi tent pitchin' bredren from the rest of the folks who bring their homes with them on wheels, placing tent sites across the other side of a small creek on the southwestern periphery."
