3 campgrounds with availability this weekend
French Creek State Park and Boulder Woods Campground offer cabins with varying amenities for overnight stays. French Creek provides rustic cabins and yurts with electricity, while Boulder Woods features more furnished cabin options with kitchen facilities. The cabins at French Creek include picnic tables, fire rings, and some have electric hookups for heating or cooling. Many units have separate sleeping areas accommodating 4-6 people, though specific layouts vary by location. According to one visitor, "The bathroom at the campground is very nice and new however it is a little on the dirty side."
KOA-style cabins can be found at both the Philadelphia-West Chester KOA and Lancaster-New Holland KOA, offering more modern amenities than the state park options. These private campgrounds typically provide furnished cabins with beds, small refrigerators, and sometimes private bathrooms. Pet policies vary significantly - Loop C at French Creek State Park allows pets in some cabins, while Philadelphia-West Chester KOA maintains a no-pet policy for their cabin accommodations. Most locations require reservations, especially during summer months when cabin availability becomes limited.
Most cabins provide beds with mattresses but require guests to bring their own linens, pillows, and towels. Kitchen facilities vary greatly - state park cabins typically have minimal cooking equipment, while KOA cabins often include small refrigerators and microwaves. On-site camp stores at Boulder Woods and Quakerwoods Campground sell basic provisions and firewood. A camper noted that "There is not a camp store where firewood is available for purchase" at some locations, so planning ahead is advisable. Bathroom and shower facilities are communal at most locations, though their cleanliness and maintenance can vary seasonally.
"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."

"Mostly an RV campground, but does have a few campsites and cabins. Campsites can be on top of each other and can be very rocky or muddy."
"Overview: nice quiet campground with a variety of campsites and a pretty good camp store. Site: this review is of the campsite and cabin we stayed in."

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.
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.
TravelerOMG! Next to busy interstate, railroad tracks and shooting range. Way to much for me!
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.
TravelerThe sites ard nice, it's run by Mennonites, I believe. Lots of recreation for kids, quiet time respected and a service on Sunday morning. Full hookups for a very reasonable price.
ScoutPicked the nicest days of the week. Got here and the carousel, Ferris wheel, restaurant, and ice cream shoppe are closed. They are apparently only open 2 days a week, maybe 3. I would have just went down the road to the KOA had I not known this.
Rustic cabin accommodations near Pottstown, Pennsylvania offer year-round options within 30 miles of town. Located in the Schuylkill River valley at approximately 200 feet elevation, this region experiences all four seasons with humid summers and moderate snowfall in winter. Most cabins in this area require advance reservations with earlier booking windows during peak fall foliage season from late September through October.
Hiking trails with water views: At French Creek State Park Campground, visitors access extensive trail systems. "There is lots of hiking, the lake is beautiful, at least two playgrounds (perfect for our kids), the bathrooms were well maintained," notes Katie M. The park connects to multiple trails suitable for various skill levels.
Disc golf adventures: Boulder Woods offers an exceptional course for disc golf enthusiasts. "They also have a disc golf course and they rent and sell discs. That's where we fell in love with disc golf," explains Erik W., highlighting this unique recreational option not found at many other campgrounds.
Fishing opportunities: Seasonal fishing at nearby lakes provides relaxation for many cabin campers. "I cought a beautiful Brown Trout here a few weeks ago! Great park. (I put the Trout back in, it was very healthy and I managed to get the hook out quickly, otherwise he would have been dinner!)" reports J K. about Evansburg State Park Campground.
Historical exploration: Many cabin sites serve as bases for visiting nearby historical attractions. "Close by there is Hopewell National Furnace and St. Peter's Village with shops and restaurants and hiking trails as well," mentions Jen R., highlighting cultural options beyond standard outdoor activities.
Private wooded sites: Cabin privacy varies significantly between locations. "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," explains a camper at French Creek State Park.
Seasonal views: Fall provides special scenic opportunities around cabin sites. "We have visited Quakerwoods Campground three years in a row with a large group including several kids... Just behind the campground is a pond that the kids love to visit and explore for fish, frogs and turtles," shares Christine D.
Local Amish country views: Some cabin locations offer cultural scenery. "Great KOA in all aspects: location, views, friendly, cleanliness," reports Lindsay H. about Lancaster-New Holland KOA, adding it's a "gorgeous, peaceful place" with "beautiful valley views of Amish country."
Winter cabin options: Unlike many seasonal facilities, some cabins remain open year-round. "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," notes Galit P., explaining the honor system payment method makes late arrival convenient.
Campfire restrictions vary: Some cabins restrict fire usage or require purchased wood. "The camp store had everything plus, and very reasonably priced," notes Karralee B. about Boulder Woods Campground, contrasting with other locations where firewood availability is limited.
Bathroom conditions fluctuate: Quality and cleanliness of facilities change seasonally. "Good place. Stayed here 2 nights without a reservation. We were in the D loop which is rustic with no hookups. Quiet, very few people mid-week. Spacious sites. Bathrooms were just okay. Muddy floors - don't know how often floors are cleaned," reports Cheryl K.
Site terrain challenges: Many cabin and tent sites present leveling difficulties. "The sites provided electric hook-up and water. We do not use cable access but it is available... Just behind the campground is a pond that the kids love to visit and explore for fish, frogs and turtles," explains a Quakerwoods camper, highlighting the mixed amenities typical of the area.
Reservation timing matters: Weekend cabin availability becomes extremely limited 3-6 months in advance, especially during fall. "We spent the Memorial Day weekend at Philadelphia/ West Chester KOA Holiday in Coatesville, PA and had a good time... A bit pricey considering the lack of elbow room, but it's a great site and everything is well-kept," notes Matt S.
Playground access: Many cabins offer nearby play areas for children. "The camp playground was brand new when we arrived and they had just broken ground (September 2020). There are two different playground in the same area to accommodate kids of all ages," shares Phinon W. about Philadelphia-West Chester KOA.
Family activities: Scheduled events provide entertainment options. "They have a live band one evening. Activities though the day were fun. Clean bath houses and staff was friendly," notes Dawn T. about Spring Gulch Resort, mentioning the combination of entertainment and facilities.
Cabin size considerations: Family-sized cabins typically sleep 4-6 but layouts differ. "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," explains Phinon W. about cabin accommodations at a local campground.
Seasonal swimming options: Pool availability varies by season and location. "Weekend stay here and instead of leaving on Sunday, we booked another day. Great swimming pool, immaculately clean bathrooms and showers," shares Jim C. about Sun Valley Campground, highlighting facilities that appeal to families.
Site access challenges: Some cabin and RV areas have tricky entrances. "I did have major trouble backing in because the road is too narrow for a 45' motorhome to back in on a nearly 90-degree angle. So difficult, that I cracked the bottom of my front cap catching the grass and gravel beside the grave road," warns Matt S. about navigating certain sites.
Amenity variations: Hook-up quality varies widely between campgrounds. "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," advises April L. about site selection.
Extended stay options: Some locations accommodate longer cabin or RV visits. "We stayed for over a month .very nice and roomy camp site .very close to poconos (golfers) and Lehigh Valley Bethlehem pa," explains Kevin D. about Blue Rocks Family Campground, noting the convenience for extended regional exploration.
Off-season advantages: Visiting cabins during shoulder seasons provides benefits. "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," reports Phinon W., suggesting specific site selection for optimal experiences.
