What campers like
Cabin privacy: Indian Springs State Park Campground offers cabins with good separation. One visitor mentioned, "Site 19 was on a less populated loop and a long stretch of woods on the 'driver' side thus no neighbors. Site was very easy to back into."
Pool and recreation areas: Several cabin campgrounds feature swimming facilities. At Twin Oaks RV Park, "The pool is sparkling clean as well as the grounds and bath houses."
Cabin amenities: Cabins vary widely in their offerings. At Hard Labor Creek State Park Campground, facilities are constantly improving: "HLC features hiking trails, mini golf, newly 'renovated' campsites that include two BRAND new bathhouses (comfort stations). The comfort stations have restrooms/showers, as well as two family restroom/shower facilities."
What you should know
Seasonal considerations: Winter cabin stays offer different experiences than summer visits. A Lake Sinclair camper noted, "We stayed in March, so when the leaves are off the trees, you can see the lake. Kinda doubtful you would during the summer."
Highway noise: Some cabins sit closer to interstate highways. At Forsyth KOA, "Typical KOA pull through where you are close to your neighbor. They have a small dog park which is a bonus. Staff was friendly and helpful."
Utility variability: Cabin utilities differ significantly between locations. At Hard Labor Creek, "The comfort stations also feature vending machines (drinks) and a laundry facility!"
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Many cabin sites include play areas for children. One visitor to Twin Oaks RV Park mentioned, "Great community spaces for dogs and kids. Our 1, 3 and 5 year Olds loved the playground. We were the only ones on it and it is in great shape."
Kid-friendly water options: Oconee Springs County Park offers special water features for children. "The beach area was great! Our kids enjoyed the inflatables in the water and the park. Bathrooms were very clean as well."
Wildlife viewing: Cabin camping provides opportunities for wildlife observation. At Scenic Mountain RV Park, "At the top of the right side hill there is a pavilion, laundry area and private shower rooms. Very clean, very well maintained. Not a lot of light but if you have your fire pit going and your flashlight you'll be good."
Tips from RVers
Extended stays: Some cabin locations allow longer reservations. Crossroads Travel Park offers monthly rates: "They offer lots of discounts, and extended stay rates. I think we paid $480 for a full month, which included the lot rent, water, sewer, and power."
Late arrivals: Many cabin locations accommodate after-hours check-ins. Twin Oaks RV Park has systems in place: "We received an email the day before confirming our reservation and to call if we weren't in by 6pm. Our arrival was at 9 so the early call left our check-in info posted and easily obtained upon arrival."
Site selection: When choosing cabin rentals, consider specific site features. At Hard Labor Creek State Park Campground, "HLC swapped over to 'site-specific' reservations..meaning that you must choose a particular site when reserving. This is VERY useful if you're familiar with the campground and have a favorite site."
