    Several campgrounds within driving distance of Walnutport, Pennsylvania provide furnished cabin rentals, ranging from rustic bunks to fully equipped deluxe units. Hickory Run State Park Campground offers cabin accommodations with electricity and heat, making them suitable for spring and fall visits when temperatures drop. Jim Thorpe Camping Resort features cabins with basic furnishings including beds, tables, and electrical outlets. Allentown KOA provides cabin camping options with more extensive amenities, including air conditioning and kitchenettes in their deluxe units. Most cabins include fire rings and picnic tables outside, allowing for outdoor cooking and dining. According to one visitor at a nearby state park, "The cabins were clean, as was the bathhouse, but the cabins were right on top of each other. The insides had a large queen size bed and then a loft bunk with a nice built-in shelf with electric and even a good amount of hooks and cubbies for storage."

    Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available throughout the region, with prices typically ranging from $90-$125 per night. Pet-friendly cabins can be found at select locations including Blue Mountain RV and Camping Resort, though additional pet fees often apply. One camper noted, "There is a $25 charge for pets in the rustic cabin and the Deluxe Cabin #1 on top of the rental fee." KOA cabin camping options near Walnutport include both basic and deluxe models, with the Delaware Water Gap/Pocono Mountain KOA recently adding "new tiny cabins" with modernized amenities. Most state park cabins require minimum stays during peak season (Memorial Day through Labor Day), while off-season bookings often allow shorter visits. Reservations for forest cabins in popular locations should be made well in advance, particularly for summer weekends and holidays.

    Cabin guests should bring their own bedding, pillows, and towels as these items are rarely provided. Basic cabins typically include beds, electricity, and sometimes heat, but limited kitchen facilities. More deluxe units may include refrigerators, microwaves, and cooking surfaces. Visitors staying in rustic cabins should pack battery-powered lights, as one camper at Jenny Jump State Forest mentioned: "We brought battery-powered lights since there is no electricity. There were coat hooks and a built-in shelf for our snacks, games, and other supplies." Most campgrounds with cabin rentals have on-site stores selling firewood, ice, and basic provisions. For more extensive grocery needs, the towns of Lehighton and Jim Thorpe, both within 15 minutes of Walnutport, offer supermarkets and convenience stores where campers can stock up before arrival.

      Hickory Run State Park Campground

      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.

      Hickory Run State Park Campground

      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 off season camping

      We 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.

      Pickerel Point Campground — Promised Land State Park

      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!

      Large sites & friendly staff!

      Another great experience. Sites were large. Staff was friendly with many different things for kids to do. Great base camp for local hikes.

      First time camping

      As 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.

      Camp Taylor Campground

      Privacy & quiet hours are king

      We’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.

      Voorhees State Park Campground

      Clean and well maintained!

      I spent 4 days and 3 nights with my 6th grade Girl Scouts. We were at sites 23 and 24 which worked out great because they back up against each other. The bathrooms were super clean and well maintained. There are outlets at the bathroom building by the sink to charge any electronics. The playground is adequate and the field is big for playing.  There are many things to do close by too like the observatory, Round Valley beach, Grounds for Art, etc. We all really enjoyed ourselves and plan on returning.

      Camp Swatara

      Very family oriented

      The 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.

    Guide to Walnutport

    Several cabin campgrounds surround Walnutport, Pennsylvania in the Lehigh Valley region, where elevations range from 400 to 1,600 feet above sea level. The area features diverse terrain with options spread across the Poconos and Blue Mountain ridge. Seasonal temperature variations can be significant, with summer highs regularly reaching the upper 80s and winter temperatures dipping into the teens.

    What to do

    Explore boulder fields: Hickory Run State Park Campground features a unique glacial boulder field that attracts visitors. "Boulders everywhere! Big ones, small ones, run (carefully) across them all! Beyond the Boulder field is a vast, scary, unknown," notes one camper at Hickory Run State Park Campground.

    Hike accessible trails: Blue Rocks Family Campground provides direct trail access. "It's right at the base of one of the most popular hiking trail, The Pinnacle. It's nestled in the woods and is very rustic. Really gives you that camping feel!" according to a reviewer at Blue Rocks Family Campground.

    Water activities: Many cabin rental properties offer water access. A camper at Mauch Chunk Lake Park mentioned, "Our first time tent camping was here and it set a great tone. We set up the tent, kayaked on the lake, cooked up some dinner, watched a strawberry super moon rise over the lake, went to bed, woke up to make some breakfast and then we were off to go rafting on the Lehigh river 10 minutes away."

    What campers like

    Spacious sites: Some cabin rental properties offer more room than others. A visitor to Jim Thorpe Camping Resort explained, "My son, brother, and nephew tent camped. The tent sites are not very defined, level or rock free. Makes it fun searching for a good position within the site, kinda like roughing it in the actual wild... so not really a complaint."

    Creek access: Many campers appreciate waterside accommodations. "We had a nice pull-through site and enjoyed our stay. Nice stream running through camp," mentioned a guest at Allentown KOA. Several cabin rentals in the area provide streamside options.

    Camp stores: Stocking up on supplies is convenient at most cabin campgrounds. A Hickory Run visitor noted, "The camp store had good hours and is stocked to high heaven; you could come here with just the clothes on your back and buy everything you need for a very comfortable stay."

    What you should know

    Cabin size variations: Cabin dimensions vary significantly between properties. A camper at Pocono Point observed, "They have the trendy teepee rentals and clamping tents. They also have stationary RVs on site that you can stay in, those are about $120 per night."

    Reservation timing: Book well in advance for summer weekends. "We were staying at the same site, Friday and Saturday nights. It's a busy place, a lot of weekenders with excited kiddos," commented a visitor to Mauch Chunk Lake Park.

    Bathroom facilities: Bathhouse quality varies between properties. At Jim Thorpe Camping Resort, a guest noted, "Bathhouses are rougher, but usable and not dirty per se. Just rustic." Many primitive cabin rentals rely on centralized bathroom facilities.

    Tips for camping with families

    Scout playground options: Not all cabin campgrounds offer equal play amenities. A visitor to Blue Ridge Campground mentioned, "Very nice spot to camp oat. Had all the amenities you need, seemed very kid friendly, biking, fishing, playground, pool and volleyball."

    Consider noise levels: Some campgrounds have more activity than others. "It was a very quiet weekend for us as our loop was not crowded," noted a camper at Hickory Run, while another campground visitor mentioned, "There were multiple parties making a lot of noise until after midnight."

    Pack extra supplies: Some cabin rentals require additional items. "We brought battery-powered lights since there is no electricity. There were coat hooks and a built-in shelf for our snacks, games, and other supplies," mentioned a visitor to a primitive cabin site in the region.

    Tips for RVers

    Site access: Consider access routes when selecting cabin camping near Walnutport. A guest at Jim Thorpe Camping Resort observed, "Can be tight getting around with a bigger camper if not experienced." For those arriving with large vehicles, this affects cabin access.

    Parking situations: Not all cabin rentals offer adequate parking. "We were always looking for a place to park our tow because we had no extra space in front or back," mentioned a Jim Thorpe visitor, highlighting a common challenge at cabin sites with limited space.

    Level surfaces: Cabin sites may require leveling equipment. "The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because our site wasn't level and it took hours to get it right," noted a visitor, emphasizing the importance of bringing leveling blocks even when staying in cabin accommodations.
