Best Cabin Camping near Albany, TX

74 Reviews

Cabin options exist at several established campgrounds around the Albany, Texas region, including Abilene State Park and Possum Kingdom State Park. Most cabin accommodations provide electric hookups with picnic tables outside. Abilene KOA features cabin rentals with basic amenities including showers and toilet facilities on the property, along with drinking water. The Lake Stamford Marina and Tiny Town at Lake Eastland also offer cabin accommodations for visitors seeking alternatives to tent camping. "Small site, site very uneven, can hear noise from highway. Front desk staff very nice, (so were the neighbors). OK for overnight stay," notes feedback from a visitor to one of the area's cabin locations.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are available depending on the specific campground. Possum Kingdom State Park Campground maintains cabins year-round with lake access, making it popular for families seeking water activities. Reservations are recommended, especially during summer months when occupancy increases. Most cabin locations allow pets with proper supervision, though specific rules vary by campground. The Abilene KOA offers more developed cabin facilities but receives mixed reviews. According to one camper, "We stayed in cabins and had a good time while we were there," though they noted the management was "not a rule bender at all and was strict."

Most cabins include basic furnishings but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and personal items. Kitchen facilities vary widely between locations - some offer only outdoor cooking options while others may include limited indoor cooking amenities. The Tiny Town at Lake Eastland provides firewood for cabin guests, though many other locations expect campers to supply their own. On-site markets exist at some locations like Abilene KOA and Lake Stamford Marina where basic provisions can be purchased. At Lake Stamford Marina, "the store was pretty well stocked," according to visitor feedback, which can reduce the need to bring all supplies from home.

    Abilene State Park Campground

    Tucked away in the trees

    Smaller state park with lots of shade in the Texas heat. The areas has plenty of place to picnic and walk around. A few trails with a small pond that connects a few together. There is also a pool area this must be booked along with your site reservations. There are also place to tent camp, cabins and yurts with electricity to rent. The sites vary from full hookups to water and electricity. Each site is private and not to close each with plenty of privacy. There is also a lake that’s outside of campsite area that can be busted up the road.

    Two things I love:

    1. Shade and privacy
    2. Picnic table and fire pit at full site hook up.

    One thing I didn’t like:

    1. Road is currently damaged for easier exit so their is a detour.

    Nice wooded campground with decent views of the stars

    The Cedar Grove tent camp area was well wooded with sites that were decently spaced. The sites had a fire ring/grill with a lantern post. There was water spigot close to my site. The restrooms were clean and the showers hot but the heater shower was slow to heat up. Decent views of the stars at night

    Abilene State Park + Trees + Swimming Pool + Lake (sort of)

    Abilene State Park is an interesting park to visit in the middle of Texas. The park is a short drive from the City of Abilene so it receives quite a few visitors on the weekend. During the weekday, you'll find considerably more peace and quiet. 

    You can pick up supplies in the city and there is also a small store within the park office with some snacks and souvenirs.

    The park has a nice grove of trees scattered around the open spaces and the campsites which can provide sanctuary shade from the summer sun. The campsites have clearings for tents, picnic tables, fire pits and water. There are restrooms nearby which have sinks, toilets and shower, all of which could stand some updating. There's a swimming pool which is often the main attraction of this park. 

    When I was planning a visit to the park I thought that it would be nice to be right on the shores of Lake Abilene. However, I discovered that the main park area and campsites are in one area and the access point to the lake is in another area. You actually need to drive outside of the park, down the road and enter into another part of the park. There's a dirt road to access the lakefront and once you are at the lakefront there is a little beach. I guess that this is one reason why so many people appear to prefer hanging out at the swimming pool. 

    The arrangement of the facilities is a little strange and many of the facilities could use an update. For this reason I only rate this park 3 out of 5.

    Nice 1st time experience

    This was our first camping experience traveling full time in our 5th wheel. We had no reservations but found a "walk up" spot in the Wagon Circle Loop. Our spot was #15. It was a loop with back in sites which had electric/water hook ups. There is also a dump station. There were bathrooms, fire pits, and picnic tables. There is a recreation area nearby with a playground and a swimming pool. Due to the time of year, the pool was not yet open. There were hiking trails and it was our first experience with geocaching.

    Lake Stamford Marina

    Country Living at the Lake

    The sites are located close to the water with full-hook ups available. Most spots are gravel but depending on lake level some spots now have grass. The better sites have their own covered picnic tables. Some sites have tree with shade closer spot to the water do not any trees or picnic tables. There is store on site however the nearest gas station is a few miles out. There is also mobile home to rent out and they do allow for rent camping. Pets allowed but there is no designated area so must be picked up after. It’s really busy during holiday peak times when we went but it wasn’t as bad as most lakes in the area. Pull through spots are available and some spots are park as you choose. This place isn’t a resort has all amenities but it is right by the water and if you have a boat it’s not a short distance to dock.

    Two things I love:

    1. It is right by the water
    2. The store was pretty well stocked

    One thing I didn’t love: Some areas are park as you can fit and not paved or gravel.

    Great campground

    We stayed in campground #37 in Cedar Grove and thought it was wonderful. The site was spacious, and it had a water spout, a picnic table and fire pit. The trees are really pretty in this area. The bathrooms were not the cleanest I’ve seen during COVID times but the entire campground was empty so we were not super concerned. And they have showers, which is so nice. Definitely recommend!

    Eh...

    This trip was an odd one for us because we had additional family members who aren't outdoorsy joining us. Tent camping did not appeal to them so we reserved one of the yurts that Abilene State Park boasts. The yurt had electricity, a mini fridge, fan, and a small air conditioner. Even with the AC on it was well over 90° in the yurt, which we weren't thrilled about, especially since we had an elderly family member with some health issues in our group. Otherwise, the park is fine. It has a nice pool, easy walking trails, and access to a lake that is strangely located outside of the park a few miles down the road. The facilities were nice and the staff memebers werw mostly polite and helpful. I wouldn't recommend the yurts, but then again that's not really my thing to begin with.

    Would go back

    We stayed here twice 10 days apart in December since it was convenient incident to a longer trip. Our first site was in Oak Grove which I thought was much superior to Pecan Grove, site-wise. Pecan Grove 66 was by some nice warm clean bathrooms and showers but the site was up a steep slant and was just barely long enough for our 24 foot trailer. The park host came by and checked on us which was kind. Both sites had oak tree shade and picnic tables and were paved with asphalt.

    Sites are electric and have water and 50/30 but no sewer. There’s a simple dump station.

    There was a burn ban on but you could definitely smell wood fires both nights.

    Small playground, easy hiking trails, and plenty of birds and nature walks. In the summer they have a pool which looked like it would be really nice. Not far from Abilene, we visited the zoo there.

    Abilene KOA

    An OK place for an overnight

    This is not by any stretch a good campground.  That said, it is right by I-20 (you can hear the traffic) and there are not very many alternatives in the area.  This KOA has quite a few permanent residents (old campers with stairs and decks...) which, in my mind, gives it a little "creepy" feel.  The sites are gravel and are reasonably level, conducive to not unhooking for the night.  Not all sites have fire rings.  Some sites do not have the table on gravel but on grass.  

    We will stay here again--if we have no other choice.
