Best Cabin Camping near Lynn, NC

852 Reviews

Orchard Lake Campground and Silver Creek Campground provide cabin accommodations in the Lynn area of North Carolina, offering electricity, indoor plumbing, and comfortable furnishings. Orchard Lake cabins include refrigerators and screened porches overlooking the lake, while Silver Creek cabins feature basic amenities with access to communal bathroom facilities. Wilderness Cove offers River Cottages with full amenities including refrigerators and screened porches. Most cabins accommodate 4-6 people with various bed configurations. "The cottage was meant to be easier on my kid, but I didn't expect all the amenities: refrigerator, screened in porch, and very comfy beds," noted one camper about their Wilderness Cove experience.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Four Paws Kingdom Campground & Dog Retreat provides pet-friendly cabin options, while family-oriented accommodations can be found at Davidson River Campground and Hickory Nut Falls Family Campground. Asheville East KOA offers standard KOA cabin rentals with predictable amenities. Reservations are recommended, especially during peak summer season when most cabins book quickly. A visitor to Orchard Lake mentioned, "This campground has amenities for all types of camping styles," highlighting the variety available. Seasonal availability varies, with several campgrounds closing between November and April.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between locations - some provide only basic microwaves while others include small refrigerators and hotplates. Wilderness Cove and Orchard Lake cabins generally offer the most complete kitchen setups. On-site camp stores at Orchard Lake, Emberglow Outdoor Resort, and Silver Creek Campground stock basic provisions and firewood. According to a reviewer at Town Mountain Travel Park, "There was also complimentary firewood at our site," though this varies by location. Visitors planning extended stays should bring cooking supplies or be prepared to dine in nearby towns.

    Camp Driftwood Asheville

    Camp Driftwood

    I found this campground through airbnb. They have tent camping as well as two cottages. The cottages are titled "Paddlers Paradise- Camp Driftwood Cottage" and have cable TV, a laptop friendly work space, heating, air conditioning, and a private entrance. The tent camping sites are titled "Camp Site- Camp Driftwood" and have fire rings, picnic tables, and access to a shared bathhouse and common area. Both of these have free parking and are located right on the French Broad River. The water is easily accessible and tubing is frequently seen along the bank. The entrance to the area is directly off the road, but has a VERY steep decline immediately following. Be cautious in driving too far up the bank as the path becomes soft, especially after a good rain. Overall, a small and personable camping option that is worth a visit!

    Paris Mountain State Park Campground

    Nice Place to Relax, Just out side the bustle of Suburbia.

    We had a great time staying here. Some of the sights were rather inclined, but they listed this on the website when booking(it's on a mountain after all). The areas between most of the sites was spacious, we were able to hang 2 hammocks to chill in. The Bathhouses had been remodeled and were kept clean while we were there. (There wasn't hand soap at the sinks that was a little weird for me).  The Large trash bins were located back down across from the Park Center, as was the play ground. It would have been more convenient for campers to have these things closer but were convenient for day use visitors. The park center is a gorgeous stone/log cabin type building with a long porch facing the Swimming area. There are Adirondack chairs on the porch, then between the porch and the lake are wooden lounge chairs and benches to relax on while taking a break from swimming or hanging out. There are miles of trails and streams to explore. We had a lovely time and plan to visit again soon.

    Great primitive campground opened 2023

    This is a brand new tent and cabin campground built by Duke Energy and run by McDowell county on Lake James. There is a boat ramp very close by, a fishing dock, picnic area, trails in and around the campground, and a seasonal Black Bear Marina Restaurant across the inlet or not far by road. All sites have tent pads and 2 parking spots. Many of the sites are a short walk from the car which affords privacy. There is a rental picnic shelter and a group csmping site. The rental camping cabins have 2 cots with a plywood base,( bring a mattress!).

    Beautiful Campground

    My husband and I stayed here for my birthday in one of the camping cabins. We will definitely be back now that we have our A-frame camper. The campground is beautiful with a mountain stream flowing through the entire campground. Immaculate bathhouses and wonderful owners. Great store onsite and lots to do in the surrounding area.

    Emberglow Outdoor Resort

    What all campgrounds should aspire to!

    This is an absolute top-notch campground.  It just opened in the spring of 2020 and I can already tell this is going to be a very popular place.

    First, the staff is incredible.  Everyone is friendly, helpful, and goes out of their way to make you feel at home.  The owner was onsite every day and checked in on us several times.

    The camping options are very unique and diverse.  They have your typical RV sites (all full hookups) and tent sites, all of which have green space around them.  Our site backed up to a beautiful stream with some trees for hammocks and shade.  The tent sites are clustered together next to a stream in the woods, providing tons of shade on hot days.  Nearby are a few treehouses that you can rent, similar to old school sleep-away camping cabins.  Around the corner from the tents are several vintage RVs, many from the 50s, that have been completely renovated with beautiful interiors and modern updates.  They each have their own deck, fire pit, and grill.  My mom stayed in one of these while we were visiting and loved it!  There are also camping pods - basically an igloo shaped cabin that is good for a couple people.  Yurts are just up the hill from those, alongside two beautiful tiny homes that are some of the most unique campground rentals I've ever seen.  Book these early - we were here in late June and they were already full until October!

    The amenities are very nice as well.  There is a resort style pool with built in seating almost all the way around.  It's next to a pavilion area with picnic tables, corn hole, a community fire pit, outdoor movie screen, and performance stage.  Nearby is an inflatable jumping pad and volleyball net.  I spoke with the owner and he has plans to add many other game such as bocce ball as well as complete construction on a playground and wooded play area for kids.  You can also rent many campground games at the camp store such as spike ball and ladder ball.  More hiking trails are being added, and a large dog park made exercising our pup easy.

    Oh and the wifi is off the charts for a campground.  Total coverage everywhere you go.  I was getting 30/30 speeds at my site.  I work remote so it was very important to have good internet, and Emberglow did not disappoint here!  They obviously invested heavily in a quality network infrastructure and it shows.

    The location is nice - off the main roads so you get plenty of peace and quiet, but only 20 minutes to Lake Lure and Chimney Rock.  It's easily accessible from Charlotte, Asheville, and Spartanburg, SC.

    Every campground owner needs to come take a look at this place.  This is what campgrounds should be aiming for - clean, modern, lots of nature, friendly staff, good prices, and fun activities.  I was not paid or asked or endorsed in any way to do this review, I simply think this is an awesome place that you should come check out!

    Catawba Falls Campground - TEMPORARILY CLOSED 2025

    Awesome creekside tent camping!

    Really cute campground just a short jaunt to the beautiful multi-level Catawba Falls hike in the Pisgah National Forest. We stayed in a tent site VERY close to a rushing creek of cool water. The sound definitely helped put me to sleep!

    The tent sites all have a tent pad, camp ring, trash can, and picnic table provided. This site had a bit more privacy than others we saw and was on the other side of the property from the RV area, which also included a playground, bathrooms, showers, and small store. There are also small tiny cabins to rent out which is great if you had a large group and not everyone was down for roughin' it. Some tent sites were also close to shared pavilions which were very nice to use during the rainy weekend we experienced! We appreciated the hot showers since we were outside hiking all day but wanted to hit up some sights in Asheville that evening without looking too worn out.

    The people who run the camp were extremely nice and helpful -- we arrived later than expected in a downpour thunderstorm and they were able to accommodate us and transfer us and our bags from the car to the site via golf cart.

    Moonshine Creek Campground

    Moonshine Creek Campground

    Owners are very friendly. Our tent campsite was very secluded, included a fire pit, picnic table, over looking deck, running water and electric. Loved hearing the running creek from our tent site. Very clean bathrooms. Highly recommended!

Guide to Lynn

Cabin camping options near Lynn, North Carolina range from rustic retreats to full-featured accommodations with modern amenities. The mountainous terrain at elevations between 1,500-2,500 feet creates cool summer nights and occasional rainy conditions even during peak season. Most cabin rentals in this region require 2-night minimum stays during summer months, with many open year-round but offering reduced winter rates from November through March.

What to do

Fishing access: 30 minutes from most cabins. At Davidson River Campground, streams provide excellent trout fishing opportunities. "Located right inside Pisgah National forest this campground is perfectly set for all adventures. If you're looking to see the sights of the forest and take a drive the scenic parkway then you've come to the right campground," notes Travis S. about Davidson River Campground.

Waterfront recreation: Lake swimming and boating. Several cabin locations offer direct water access. "We stayed 2 nights. We went kayaking and swimming daily. There is a slide in the middle of the pond that my son loved," shares Amanda M. about her experience at Orchard Lake Campground.

Hiking trails: Within 1-10 miles of cabins. Most campgrounds connect to trail systems. "There are several sites that are right along the river. There is a short walking trail within the campground, and the Art Loeb trail starts right at the beginning of the campground as well," explains Anna R. about paths near Creekside Mountain Camping.

Chimney Rock access: 15-minute drive. Several cabin properties provide easy access to this popular attraction. "Location is nice - off the main roads so you get plenty of peace and quiet, but only 20 minutes to Lake Lure and Chimney Rock," notes a visitor to Emberglow Outdoor Resort.

What campers like

Private fenced areas for pets: Exclusive to select cabins. Four Paws Kingdom offers unique accommodations specifically designed for dog owners. "Every cabin or RV rental has its own private gated yard with your own firepit. Several dog parks and a private pond for the pups means days of fun for an active, social dog," explains Ash D. from Four Paws Kingdom Campground & Dog Retreat.

Flexible accommodation options: Cabins for different group sizes. Many properties offer various cabin styles. "We had a great time! Campsite was perfect, staff was perfect, location was perfect. This is a great family spot!" shares Katie F. about her stay at Emberglow Outdoor Resort.

Heated bathroom facilities: Available at select locations. Some campgrounds maintain comfortable facilities year-round. "Bathroom and showers are cleaned well everyday-and are heated," notes Nancy in her review of Lake Powhatan, making off-season stays more comfortable.

Water features: Many cabins near creeks or lakes. Water access ranks high in camper preferences. "The sites are clean. Bathrooms seem maintained. Plenty of stuff for the kids to do," reports Jay B. about Orchard Lake Campground, highlighting the recreational options.

What you should know

Bathroom quality varies significantly: Check recent reviews. Some locations maintain better facilities than others. "The bathhouse was gross. I understand the need to maintain forestry but it would've been nice to have a heads up a day before," notes one visitor to Davidson River Campground.
