5 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Rustic cabins near Shohola provide varying levels of amenities across several campgrounds. Kittatinny Campground and Pickerel Point Campground at Promised Land State Park offer cabin accommodations with basic furnishings. Most cabins include beds, tables, and chairs, while bathroom facilities are typically shared unless specified as deluxe units. Stokes State Forest cabins feature wood stoves set into fireplaces, hot/cold water, electric stoves with ovens, refrigerators, toilets, and bathroom sinks. "The cabins are reasonably priced and well-appointed, if a bit rustic. The interior features are just what you'd expect for getting away for the weekend," noted one visitor who stayed in Stokes State Forest.
KOA-style cabins at Delaware Water Gap/Pocono Mountain KOA provide more amenities than state park options. Neversink River Resort offers year-round cabin rentals with heating systems for winter stays. Mountain Top RV Park and Oakland Valley Campground maintain cabin units with varying levels of privacy and woodland settings. Cabin sizes range from small one-room structures to multi-room family accommodations. Most locations require advance reservations, especially during summer months. Pet policies vary significantly - Stokes State Forest and Pickerel Point allow pets in designated cabins, while others maintain strict no-pet policies. A visitor at Keen Lake Resort mentioned, "The bathrooms were the cleanest we've ever experienced at a campground."
Visitors should plan to bring their own bedding, pillows, and towels as these items are rarely provided in rustic cabins. Kitchen supplies typically include basic cookware and utensils, though inventory varies widely between locations. Most cabin sites include outdoor fire rings and picnic tables for cooking and dining. On-site camp stores at Kittatinny Campground and Keen Lake Resort stock firewood, ice, and basic groceries. Refrigerators are standard in more developed cabins but may be absent in primitive units. Cabins with electricity offer lighting and outlets for charging devices, while more rustic options require campers to bring lanterns or flashlights. According to a review, "The doors feature deadbolt locks - so be sure to always take the key or set the lock to be unlocked all the time."
"Not much to do around the park except walk around. We went on opening day so there weren’t many campers- maybe like 4 or 5. The people in the store were very friendly and the grounds were clean."
"Nestled along the scenic Delaware River in Milford, Pennsylvania, Kittatinny Canoes River Beach Campsites offers a delightful blend of relaxation and adventure."
from $75 - $400 / night
"Great lake camping...Tent-Cabin. Watch the local roads for potholes"
"Well I'm staying at promise land state park for the 3 rd time it's a great place to visit and camp out or with your RV or Pop Up ."

from $20 - $44 / night
"Camping for summer is pretty limited to Sawmill Lake, as the other locations are for groups or winter camping."
"My first time camping at High Point State Park, Sawmill Area, September 2019. I chose a campsite close to the restrooms and water spigot."
from $5 - $20 / night
"The cabins are reasonably priced and well-appointed, if a bit rustic. The interior features are just what you'd expect for getting away for the weekend."
"No pets or alcohol allowed. The campground has a pit toilet and a well. Each large campsite has a picnic table, fire pit, and lantern hook. Some sites also have a tent platform."
from $7 - $55 / night
"That said we had plenty of space, it was just very close to the next site. We were on the far side of the lake which is not really within walking distance of the beach, pool and store."
"I LOVED this campground, it is a private campground owned by a family. They own a large portion of the lakefront and have both a people beach and a dog beach so the dogs can enjoy swimming as well."
"Top level has a pool, showers and bathrooms with laundry area and game room. Middle level has open field with bathrooms with sinks and running water."
"They loved to fish and play in the river, explore the woods and ride bikes around. Quiet, family friendly and close to home! We love OVC."
"Some of the sites are literally on the road - stay away from the sites on the same side of the road as the pond. "
"But this space has loads of potential. We were there at the end of the season, which we loved bc we practically had this huge campground to ourselves."
from $41 - $375 / night
"It was so nice to get to know Masen, the host of this gorgeous cabin. This cabin is spacious, with plenty of room for 4, plus a furry friend. Snuggle up and relax in this unique cabin."
from $185 - $300 / night
"The sites had a fire ring with a cooking grate and a picnic table and were well spaced out from other sites. The views of the lake are nice, very peaceful."
"The caping set up was nice and I enjoyed the proximity to available hikes in the area. The ‘lake’ however, was kind of a disappointment."
"The restrooms were closed for the winter, so we didn’t get to use or see those."
"We recently had the pleasure of staying at Mountain Top and were were impressed by the exceptional experience and service provided by the owners."
from $89 / night
GuideStayed 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.
ScoutThis 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.
RangerI'll start by saying this is a site-specific review (C20). I booked using Campspot and didn't select my own site but put in the criteria for my rig (30ft TT plus truck) and got a 50A back-in spot. The site was big but abnormal. Between the picnic table placement and the trees, I ended up right around 50ft from the electric and water, and the water spigot was so low I could barely put on my camco filter. With the uneven dirt roads, I had to unhitch with my truck in a gigantic puddle (lol). The site was otherwise fine aside from my gate code not working on Day 2. As for the campground as a whole, I thought it was pretty unique place by the river that offered several good amenities and activities, like downstream river tubing, an arcade, bathroom/shower facilities, a small store, little trails, and more. I would say this place borders the more primitive side.
RangerWe camped here in our pop up for our Anniversary in November. We were impressed with the cleanliness and available amenities for the time of year we were camping in! Close proximity to DWG and PA AND NJ attractions.
RangerWe 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!
TravelerAnother great experience. Sites were large. Staff was friendly with many different things for kids to do. Great base camp for local hikes.
ScoutWe reserved for a day. Very bad service. The river is super dirty and they did not even clean the trash cans. Besides, the fire ring has no grill cooking grate, so if you don’t bring your own NO GRILLING. Ryan was the person in front that took care of us, he was rude, my kids felt weird because he was not welcoming at all. Also, we try to ask for a partial refund since we did not felt comfortable since the beginning, and they said NO. We have experience camping, but this one was simply THE WORST. We lost the money but we won’t put our kids in a difficult situation. Thanks.
ScoutWe stay at a lot of Jellystone parks so have become accustomed to the park layouts and activities. This one was well maintained with clean facilities. Some things like the mini golf and fire pits needed maintenance. The pools were nice but get very busy later in the day. The sites up on the hills are nice but beware, it’s a hill! There is little to no WiFi or cell service or it gets easily bogged down, so be ready for that. Food was basic but good. Some activities like bingo were a bit chaotic and there were a lot of ground hornets around the jumping pillows. Would totally go again.
TravelerWe’ve been to Camp Taylor twice now for tent camping: September 2021 and May 2023. We stayed at the rustic tent sites both times, and there was room for 2 cars and 2 tents. Depending on how you want your setup, there are some that are more secluded and others that are close together and would be great for group camping.
The staff are all lovely and take the time to explain the rules both in-person at check-in and on the forms they provide at the time of booking. They are not hiding how seriously they take rules like quiet hours, and it will keep campers like me coming back. If you are respectful of the folks around you and especially during the posted quiet hours, you will have no problems.
The office and shop keep supply of snacks, firewood, and gifts. There are flush toilets mapped in spots of the tent sites (SUCH a pleasant surprise! I was expecting a porta-potty or vault toilet), and hot showers are available at the same complex as the office.
Cabin camping near Shohola, Pennsylvania offers diverse accommodations within the Delaware River watershed region where elevations range from 400 to 1,800 feet. The area experiences four distinct seasons with summer temperatures averaging 70-85°F and winter temperatures frequently dropping below freezing. Cabins in this area vary from primitive one-room structures to multi-room accommodations with heating systems for year-round availability.
Tube down the Delaware River: At Kittatinny Campground, water activities form the centerpiece of recreation options. "My college friends go here each year to meet up and we have so much fun. The group sites are great and perfect for our 30-50 people. Definitely go for the rafting/tubing package, it was the best part of the trip!" notes Maggie K.
Fish from your cabin site: Some waterfront cabin locations at Pickerel Point Campground allow direct water access. "Our site had kayak access and that was a real bonus. It is a spotless facility. Even in August it was not crowded," shares Aida K. Many lakeside cabins include fishing access points within steps of your accommodation.
Explore hiking trails: High Point State Park offers numerous trails accessible from cabin areas. "We fit in a hike up to the Appalachian Trail from our campsite, swam at the pond (Lake Marcia), and got in a fishing session at Steeny Kill Lake," reports Justin P. The park features over 50 miles of marked trails, including sections of the Appalachian Trail.
Lakefront cabin locations: Keen Lake Resort Campground receives high marks for its waterfront placements. "It was SO BEAUTIFUL. We had SUPs and kayaks to take on the lake and our sites were right next to the boat launch. Each day we would paddle over to the swimming area on the lake," writes Shannon C. Most lakeside cabins are positioned within 50 feet of the water.
Well-appointed cabins: Stokes State Forest cabins include conveniences not always found in rustic settings. "The cabins at Stokes State Forest have separated kitchen and bathroom areas from the main room. The main room has a bunk bed and two twins, a table with benches, two Adirondack chairs, a wood stove set into a fireplace," notes W L. who stayed in cabins #008 and #009.
Family programming: "We don't typically expect to have a campgrounds with a ton of amenities. Potable water and a toilet is really all we need. Overall, it was a great time gorgeous park. Also took a few pictures of the cabins in Shotwell," writes Adeline M. about her stay at Stokes State Forest.
Reservations essential: During peak season (Memorial Day through Labor Day), cabins book months in advance. This is especially true for waterfront locations at popular parks like Pickerel Point.
Winter preparedness: For cabins open during colder months, prepare for limited services. "This was my second visit in the cold months. Sites have electric but no water. Spigot close by. Heated cozy bathhouse with clean showers. The only negative is that I had almost no cell reception with Verizon," reports Mara S. about winter camping at Pickerel Point.
Amenity variations: Oakland Valley Campground offers cabins with different facility access. "Nice, family friendly campground with 3 levels to camp at. Top level has a pool, showers and bathrooms with laundry area and game room. Middle level has open field with bathrooms with sinks and running water," explains Jeanne-Marie P.
Bring water equipment: Lakes and rivers provide key entertainment for children. "My kids had a great time! Bathrooms could be cleaned more often but relatively clean. The museum and crafts were closed due to Covid so that was a bummer but we found other things to do. Love that the road is paved, it makes it easy for the kids to ride bikes, skate etc," writes Paula R. about Pickerel Point.
Choose appropriate cabin locations: Accessibility matters with young children. "This was my first time camping here. The sites were close together and everyone was super loud which didn't bother me. I enjoyed hearing other people's music and laughter," notes Margarita Z. about Kittatinny Campground.
Consider noise levels: Some campgrounds maintain different atmosphere zones. "Pickerel point is the most action packed part of the park. LOTS of kids and people enjoying themselves. If you're looking for a more secluded experience, the park has sections for that as well," advises Debbie W.
Site leveling challenges: At Mountain Top RV Park, be selective about site location. "If you're booking, it may be best to book on the upper levels because the lower area where we were did flood pretty bad a couple times when there was a lot of rain," cautions @HomegrownRV.
Park infrastructure matters: Neversink River Resort provides varying levels of service. "We had full hookups (20/30/50 amp, water & sewer). There's no cable but we were able to pickup about 6 channels with our digital antenna," reports Debbie W. The campground's facilities were renovated after changing ownership from KOA.
Winter access limitations: During off-season, cabin stays may have reduced amenities. "Bathrooms were far on this loop. There are little foot bridges that you could take to get to the bathroom easier (and closer) but they are set on people's campsites," notes Lori M. about site accessibility at Neversink River Resort.
