What to do
Hiking trails access: Raven Rock State Park offers multiple trail options directly from cabin areas. "I loved all the trails, mainly the one that goes from the campsite I was on to the river where there is natural waterslide. This is a very pretty state Park, OK to hike with children," notes a visitor at Moccasin Branch Campground.
Fishing opportunities: Many cabins provide access to fishing spots within walking distance. "Not crowded, nice selection of trails, plenty of fishing on the Cape Fear, woodland creatures abound," explains a camper about the primitive cabin options.
Swimming spots: Natural swimming areas exist at several cabin locations. "The trails are nice and short, not too much room for extra exploration. Best advice is there are some big rocks in the river at various locations that you can lay on and take a nap. Super comfy and the water is also pretty shallow. Great place to get wet," describes a visitor at Canoe Camp.
Lake activities: Several cabin rentals offer lake access for water recreation. "The lake is beautiful and great for kids. We will be going back!" reports a camper staying at Rolling View at Falls Lake State Recreation Area.
What campers like
Privacy between sites: Cabin areas typically provide better separation than standard campsites. "The sites that I saw were pull-through sites, and they were level with water, sewer, and 30 and/or 50 amp hookups. The campground roads were paved, and the RV sites were gravel," describes a visitor at RVacation Campground.
Evening quiet: Most cabin areas enforce quiet hours and maintain peaceful settings. "Overall, it is everything you would expect from a top notch RV park, including the amenities and the services," notes a camper about the cabin options at RVacation.
Wildlife viewing: Multiple cabin areas report regular wildlife sightings. "Deer walked right behind our site," reports a visitor at Jordan Lake State Recreation Area's Crosswinds Campground.
Clean facilities: Bathroom access varies by cabin location but receives generally positive reviews. "Bathhouses are ok, hiking trails are good and has a nice fishing pier. Sites are anywhere from close to plenty of distance apart," notes a camper about Falls Lake facilities.
What you should know
Reservation requirements: Most cabin rentals require advance booking, especially during peak seasons. "I've been here a few times now and it was absolutely incredible! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a chill hike and a nice campsite!" advises a visitor about planning ahead for Moccasin Branch.
Accessibility factors: Some cabin locations require hiking to access. "We hiked in from the parking lot to one of the canoe in sites on the river," explains a camper about certain Raven Rock accommodations.
Seasonal availability: Operating schedules vary significantly between cabin rentals. "We stayed for several months while waiting for a house to be built...in freeeezing cold weather! We were impressed that the water lines are heated, so we didn't have to disconnect our water for the unusually cold 2 degree weather," reports a long-term cabin renter at RVacation Campground.
Noise considerations: Some cabin rentals experience ambient noise from nearby highways. "All night long we were able to hear the highway (i-95) and trains passing by. My husband is an extremely light sleeper so it was much worse for him. The kids slept fine and it was just ok for me," notes a visitor describing Fayetteville RV Resort & Cottages.
Tips for camping with families
Bathroom access: Cabins vary significantly in bathroom proximity. "I've camped here twice now. The hike in and out is very easy. Only about 2 miles each way. The spots are clean and well spread out with a hook to hang things on, a fire pit, and a picnic table at each site. The pit toilet is central to all 6 sites," explains a camper about Canoe Camp facilities.
Playgrounds and activities: Some locations provide family-oriented amenities. "So much to do for the kiddos and adults. Two pools, hot tub, mini golf, basketball court, horseshoes and playground all included in your price," shares a visitor about Fayetteville RV Resort & Cottages.
Safety considerations: Different cabin locations present varied terrain challenges. "When you camp there, make sure to take a good head lamp or flashlight. I had to walk quite far to get to the privy, and during the night, it is dark!" advises a camper at Canoe Camp.
Food options: On-site and nearby food availability varies by location. "For the adults they have a nice workout center with lots of equipment. During our stay they had scheduled kid activities and movie night with popcorn. On Friday evening they had a food truck scheduled for dinner," reports a family staying at Fayetteville RV Resort.
