    William B. Umstead State Park Campground offers several cabins within 25 miles of Garner, providing basic accommodations with electric hookups and bathroom facilities. The historic cabins include cots for sleeping and electrical outlets. Crosswinds Campground at Jordan Lake State Recreation Area provides cabin rentals with more amenities including picnic tables, fire rings, and access to showers and toilets. One camper noted, "there are historic cabins with cots to sleep on and there is electricity in the cabins," highlighting the simple but functional setups available at Umstead State Park.

    Rustic cabins at Raleigh Oaks RV Resort & Cottages provide more comfortable accommodations with full hookups, drinking water, and trash service. Reviews describe these accommodations as "super clean and well organized," making them suitable for families with children. Most cabin sites require advance reservations, particularly during the peak season from spring through fall. Pet policies vary by location, with William B. Umstead and Raleigh Oaks both permitting pets at their cabin sites. Falls Lake State Recreation Area offers cabin options at both Rolling View and B.W. Wells campgrounds, with seasonal availability from March to November.

    Most cabins provide basic furnishings but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and personal items. Kitchen facilities range from simple fire rings with picnic tables to more equipped options at locations like Raleigh Oaks. The Cozy Heron Glamping site offers cabin rentals with provided firewood, picnic tables, and access to showers and toilets, though guests need to bring their own cooking supplies. Nearby grocery stores in Raleigh, Wake Forest, and Four Oaks offer provisions for cabin stays, though stocking up before arrival is recommended as some campgrounds have limited or no on-site stores.

      Very nice well maintained park with big pull through spaces. Bathhouse are clean and modern. Running a speed test on my T-Mobile phone I got 269mbps down and 6 up. We will definitely stay here again. With GoodSam discount it was $63 a night.

      Crosswinds Campground — Jordan Lake State Recreation Area

      Quiet, clean, spacious

      The sites are very large, long and wider at the back, plenty of room for a big group or family. The bathrooms look new and they are clean. Here during the week so it's very empty and quiet.

      They are our absolute fav spot!

      We were able to squeak in for Labor Day weekend. And they are always a great time. Well kept grounds, and really friendly people. The waffles are always a hit and much appreciated! If you can help it- plz don’t skip this spot! You won’t regret it.

      Fayetteville RV Resort & Cottages

      Pools, Putt-Putt & Plenty of Room to Play

      Sometimes you pull into a campground expecting little more than a comfortable place to sleep and discover the kids have already made tomorrow’s plans before you’ve even finished setting up, and Fayetteville RV Resort & Cottages was that kind of happy surprise for our family. Tucked into the countryside of Wade just minutes from I-95, this beautifully maintained resort combines spacious, mostly shaded RV sites (including enormous pull-throughs accommodating big rigs) with cottages and enough green space that it feels remarkably removed from the highway. Families are especially spoiled here with two swimming pools, mini golf, a playground, walking path, fitness center, clubhouse, clean restrooms and showers, laundry facilities and dog parks, while full-hookup sites with 30/50-amp service make Mom and Dad’s life considerably easier too. One of my favorite memories was watching the boys bounce between swimming and miniature golf until that wonderful end-of-the-day exhaustion finally set in, leaving us to enjoy a quieter evening together back at the campsite. Some campgrounds are where you sleep between adventures - this is one where convincing the kids to actually leave becomes the adventure. With the resort offering numerous long pull-through and back-in sites rather than one clearly superior campsite, I’d choose one of the more shaded sites away from the busiest activity areas if your family values a quieter evening. We would enthusiastically recommend Fayetteville RV Resort for families because it’s exceptionally clean, wonderfully convenient and packed with enough kid-friendly recreation to turn what could easily have been an I-95 pit stop into a genuine family camping getaway.

      Crosswinds Campground — Jordan Lake State Recreation Area

      Great Camp

      We visited Crosswinds campground at Jordan Lake State Park on the worst heatwave of the year. The great thing about this area is that the sites a well shaded. We were about 50 yards from the lake, with the wind blowing we still were comfortable all day. We stayed on Loop A, which is my favorite loop at the park. There’s no electricity or water at the sites. There are water spickets throughout the loop with potable water. The site is awesome! There’s a small pond beside it. The neighboring sites are close, but regular conversations can not be heard.this loop is always quiet even when there are a lot of people, but it’s never been full when I’m there. I didn’t do good with photos except for the food.

      Crosswinds Campground — Jordan Lake State Recreation Area

      Crosswinds Campground July 2026

      Decent campground in a beautiful location along Lake Jordan. Crosswinds Campground is one of several sites on the lake. We chose this location since the gates stay open all the time, while other sites have a curfew that can lock you out for the night.

      The staff are super friendly and helpful. There’s apparently a camp host whom we never met and they’re on the site next to ours (not sure if they’re supposed to greet us or help us get acquainted with the site, but the staff member at check in was great and did all that when we arrived).

      Loop C is quiet, very few children, and less road noise compared to the other loops, but doesn’t have the same access to the lake.

      Site C50 is conveniently located close to the bath house, has a large fire pit with adjustable grill, picnic table, and hookups for water and electricity. We’re in a tent, so really just use the electricity. The picnic table here should be replaced, as the wood seems to be rotting, but still does the job. There are a few sites in loop C that do have direct access to the lake, but those tend to be booked all of the time. We explored one last night and couldn’t believe it was vacant and how much nicer it seemed.

      Bathrooms are not as clean as I would like, but I bring disinfectant wipes to wipe the toilet before use. Showers are fine, but use an annoying motion sensor to turn the water on/off. Showering at night is annoying with the bugs because the bathhouse is lit like a beacon (probably for safety). Waiting for the daytime is a better experience. Also, there isn’t a washing station for dishes, and we do that at our site.

      Firewood can be purchased by the staff at the campground entrance; however, the exact same firewood is almost $4 fewer at a Refuel station down the street. Definitely stop into that gas station store for things you might need.

      Overall, really good experience staying here, some annoying things, but won’t ruin your stay.

      Rolling View — Falls Lake State Recreation Area

      Great tent camping sites

      First time to Loop C and we loved it. There are some great sites here, they are big and most are decently spaced. It rained heavily while there, some sites will hold water, but I didn’t see any fully submerged. There’s no electrical hook ups, there are a few potable water spickets throughout the loop. The bathroom was very clean.

    Guide to Garner

    Cabin camping near Garner, North Carolina offers multiple accommodation options within a 30-mile radius. The area sits at the transition between the Piedmont and Coastal Plain regions, with elevations ranging from 250-350 feet and a humid subtropical climate that allows year-round cabin camping. Winter temperatures rarely drop below freezing for extended periods, making seasonal cabins accessible during warmer months from March through November.

    What to do

    Hiking opportunities: Multiple trails wind through William B. Umstead State Park Campground where visitors can explore both paved and natural paths. "Love this place! Lots of great paths to walk," notes Jennifer M., highlighting the variety of terrain for all skill levels.

    Fishing access: The lake areas provide ample fishing spots without requiring additional permits at some locations. "There's a nice sand beach on the lake and a boat launch as well. Some of the sites offer a tie-off of your boat adjacent to your campsite," explains Paula U. from Crosswinds Campground.

    Water activities: Swimming areas with designated beaches allow for cooling off during warmer months. "The lake is beautiful and great for kids," reports Elizabeth V. about Rolling View, where visitors can enjoy supervised swimming areas during summer.

    What campers like

    Privacy between sites: Many campers appreciate the natural buffers between cabins and camping areas. "The camping sites are spacious and most are level. Campgrounds are close but separated by trees and forest to create privacy," reports Sydney S., describing the layout that maintains a sense of seclusion.

    Clean facilities: Consistently maintained bathhouses rank high among visitor priorities. "Clean bathrooms. Spacious sites. Plenty of privacy," notes Angela M., who stayed at a double site near the beach area at Jordan Lake.

    Proximity to nature: Wildlife sightings enhance the cabin camping experience. "Deer walked right behind our site," mentions Wendy M., describing the natural setting that allows for wildlife viewing directly from cabin areas.

    What you should know

    Seasonal availability: Most cabin facilities operate on limited schedules. "We've camped here 2 or 3 times now and we can't get enough of this park. The bathhouse wasn't quite warm enough for showers in November temps, when we tented," notes Becqui M. about winter conditions.

    Noise considerations: Some locations experience occasional disruptions from nearby transportation. "The worst part about this campground, for me, was the noise from the Interstate. I thought it would die down during the night, but I was wrong. There was also the sound of trains—at least seven or eight times during the night," cautions Myron C. about RVacation Campground.

    Booking requirements: Reservations become essential during peak periods from spring through fall. "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," shares lorie M., highlighting the year-round availability at some locations.

    Tips for camping with families

    Playground access: Several cabin locations feature play areas specifically designed for children. "There is a playground near the site. The site itself was gravelly and not super private but it was great- the hikes around were stunning," notes amanda L. at B.W. Wells Campground.

    Swimming areas: Designated swimming zones provide safer water recreation for younger visitors. "Loved having a double site with my parents. Close to the beach where we sat for hours," shares Angela M. about the family-friendly water access.

    Educational opportunities: Some parks offer nature programs that appeal to younger campers. "So much fun to camp here. They had a controlled burn of the Holly Hill Loop In February. It was really neat and educational to see the charred bottoms of the trees," explains Elizabeth V., highlighting learning experiences available at certain parks.

    Tips from RVers

    Hookup information: Most cabin areas also accommodate RVs with varying levels of services. "This was our very first full-time RV park. We loved being in the park and it easily accommodated our 39ft. Class A. Back-in site but with plenty of room to do so. Each site has water and electric hook-up," reports Paul H.

    Bathroom facilities: Shower access varies significantly between locations. "The bath house has a lot to be desired. Beach is nice and the sites are spacious," mentions Cindy S., providing context for those planning longer stays.

    Site dimensions: Space requirements matter for larger vehicles accompanying cabin rentals. "Well kept sites with water and power access. Clean public restrooms and some water and fishing pier access," notes Andrew C. about the practical layout for RV guests.
