These 9 Cozy Cabins Are Everything You Need For The Ultimate Fall Getaway In Delaware
As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
Is there anything more appealing than a weekend away in the woods, holed up in a cabin, with sweaters, pumpkins to carve, a good book, and maybe some hot chocolate? We don’t think so. Luckily, Delaware is a great state for camping, particularly in the fall when leaves start to change and the scenery is as pretty as it gets. Delaware has several state parks and campgrounds that keep the camping sites active year-round, or, at least through October. These nine sites offer some quaint and cozy cabins in Delaware for the ultimate fall getaway.
Killens Pond has quaint cabins in Delaware that are just steps away from the water, and they're surrounded by trees that show off the beautiful colors of fall. Killens Pond is crowded in the summer due to its popular water park, but in the fall, you can escape the crowds and enjoy the crisp air on the many trails. Visit the Delaware State Parks website to reserve one of these cozy state park cabins.

Trap Pond's cabins are also located right next to the water. The screened-in porches are great for keeping bugs at bay, and the rustic two-room camping cabins at Trap Pond have a wonderful location next to the water. Plus, the grill and picnic table mean you can spend some time outside and get a full "camping" experience. If you want to experience cabin camping in Delaware, visit the Delaware State Parks website.

3. Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park™ at Delaware Beaches, Lincoln
Themed weekends such as the "Pumpkin Patch," "Halloween Preview," and the event of the year, "Halloween with Yogi" make this a perfect getaway for families. Cabin camping in Delaware is less stressful than tent camping when you've got children to appease, and the plethora of kid-centric activities will mean mom and dad get time to relax. Head to the Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park™ at Delaware Beaches web page to book your stay.

4. Cottages at Indian River Marina, Rehoboth Beach
The beautiful cottages at Indian River Marina in Delaware Seashore State Park are among the nicest cabins in Delaware. You're definitely "glamping" if you choose to stay here. Nonetheless, it's still basically a cabin, and it's right on the water. Take advantage of the "off-season" rates and enjoy these incredible cottages in the fall. Visit the Delaware State Parks website to learn more.

Head to the Tall Pines Campground Resort for more information and to book your stay at one of these cozy cabins in Delaware.
The Log Cabins at Holly Lake Campsites will make you feel like a pioneer - they're primitive, but also cozy and comfortable. Bring your own sleeping bags, cooking utensils, and pretty much everything else you would need in a tent site. For primitive cabin camping in Delaware, visit the Holly Lake Campsites website.
The cabins at Sun Outdoors Rehoboth Bay are a little more summery than autumnal, but they're still beautiful and comfortable to stay in. These cabin rentals in Delaware will make you feel like you've escaped the real world for a few days as it sits on a huge plot of private land. To book your stay, visit the Sun Outdoors Rehoboth Bay website.
Big Oaks is a great place to camp if you want to be near the beach - even though "local summer" is over, Rehoboth still has plenty of events and happenings up through the Sea Witch Festival. If you're looking for a place to stay to enjoy the town's fall festivities, Big Oaks is a winner. Visit the Big Oaks Campground website to learn more.
We didn't want to leave Cape Henlopen off of the list as it's one of the best campgrounds in the entire state. With the beach and hiking trails just steps away, a weekend at Cape Henlopen is just about as perfect as you can get. The campground at Cape Henlopen State Park went through some major upgrades in recent years to including an installation of water and electricity, improved vehicle circulation patterns, RV and pop-up campsites, and vegetation planted. The campground also offers some of the best cabin camping in Delaware. You can make reservations on the Delaware State Parks website.
