19 campgrounds with availability next weekend
Davidson River Campground and Lake Powhatan offer cabin accommodations near Pisgah Forest with varying levels of amenities. Cabins typically include electricity, beds, and basic furniture, with some providing full kitchens, bathrooms, and climate control systems. Rustic cabins often feature simple sleeping arrangements with bunk beds, while more deluxe options include separate bedrooms and living spaces. "The cabins themselves are relatively nice - very rustic so don't expect anything fancy. Mattresses in bunk beds are very thin plastic pads. No sheets/towels provided so bring your own everything."
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Many campgrounds like Rutledge Lake RV Resort and Ash Grove accommodate pets in their cabin rentals, though specific policies vary. Reservations are essential during peak summer months when cabins book quickly, especially for weekend stays. Some properties operate year-round while others close during winter. A camper wrote: "My family is usually tent campers, but we decided this year we didn't want to deal with the hassle of setting up & breaking down camp. We chose this campground because of the rustic camping cabins they offer. The price is right, and the experience felt just like our usual camping trips without the set-up."
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary widely - some cabins offer full kitchens with refrigerators and stoves, while others provide only basic amenities like microwaves or outdoor grills. On-site camp stores at locations like Asheville West KOA stock essential supplies, though prices tend to be higher than at grocery stores in nearby towns. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, visitors should check specific cabin amenities before booking: "Everything to cook and clean in the cabins is all provided!" noted one reviewer, while others mentioned needing to bring all personal items.

"This campground has a few tent campsites near the office/shower building but a great number of remote sites up on the side of a mountain. 4WD required due to steep inclines and rough road conditions."
"It’s quiet, babbling little brook near by. Cute cabinets that have room for 4 ppl, kitchenette, WiFi, pool, bathhouse. Clean quaint. Close to Brevard, DuPont for mountain biking etc."
TravelerStayed 1 week in site 12. Great small campground, clean and quiet. Jojo was a great host and 5pm happy hour gathering was fun. Will DEFINITELY return. Its a great spot for launching adventures.
TravelerThe view is worth it and is as advertised! We were in the first spot as you enter the park. We were concerned with noise, but it was not even an issue.
Our spot was right on the ridge and was stunning. I don’t think I closed the blinds on that side of the trailer.
Loss of star because of the road in/out. It’s one lane gravel and windy. It’s ok as long as you don’t meet anyone on the road. Dryer took 2 cycles to dry 2 towels and a few tshirts.
ScoutBathrooms are small and few. Interstate is close. Setting is beautiful and KOA is clean with friendly staff. Will stay again.
GuideThis is our first time coming here. We booked online, which was simple The campground is very well kept. The sites aren’t any closer together than your average campground. It seems to me that the owners are conscientious about keeping everyone spaced out so you don’t have anyone right on top of you. (The campground was not full during our visit) The only con to this place is you don’t get to pick your site. It’s assigned to you. I will said that I asked specifically for a shady spot & they obliged me. (Very nice owners) Not all of the sites are level but hey, that’s was risers are for 🤷🏻♀️ We didn’t have any issues after a couple of well placed risers. Even though the highway is close you don’t notice the traffic noise. It’s very quiet at night. When you arrive & get checked in, someone escorts you to your site & helps get you backed in. They will pick up, fill & return your propane tanks. You just have to leave your tank @ the edge of your camp site. If you leave your trash at the edge of your site they pick it up for you. They will also deliver firewood as well as a fire pit if you don’t have one.
ScoutI actually stayed here last year!! Went through hip camp!! We stayed in a tent and it was so beautiful!! Got to see Asheville, some waterfalls and we went to the renaissance fair!! Wow the host were amazing at getting us anything we needed! Plenty of fire wood! I actually want to come back in the next month now that I’m seeing this again!
TravelerThe team here really maintains the property nicely and the shower rooms a kept clean.
ScoutWe’ve been coming at this campground for 13 years and it is always an enjoyable experience. The past owners, Barry and Chong, have turned over the day to day management to their son and daughter-in-law. They are so pleasant and accommodating. It is a small campground but drive thru spaces are big enough for big rigs. They keep the campground in immaculate condition…. Would give it 6 stars out of 5!
TravelerWe camped next to the fishing pier, the site was a bit uneven and I had to do some creative engineering to get my 26' rig level. It has been very quiet during the week. By the way, we have great T-Mobile service.
ScoutThis was a really lovely campground. We were greeted by Jojo and escorted to our spot by Daegan who helped us get our camper situated. The campground was clean and tidy, and had firewood and ice available for purchase. The happy hour at 5 is a great way to meet your fellow campers. Nearby there are restaurants and a few shops. The location is very close to several waterfall hikes.
Cabin camping near Pisgah Forest, North Carolina offers diverse lodging options within the Blue Ridge Mountains at elevations ranging from 2,100 to 3,000 feet. The region receives about 67 inches of rainfall annually, creating lush forests and numerous waterfalls. Winter temperatures can drop below freezing while summer months typically range from 65-85°F, making seasonal considerations important for cabin rentals.
Hiking to waterfalls: Numerous waterfall trails surround the Pisgah Forest area, accessible from Table Rock State Park Campground. "There are many waterfalls in the area and many places to hike. There are a couple of small towns not far away and Greenville isn't a long drive," notes one visitor.
Mountain biking: Access some of the region's best trails just minutes from cabin accommodations near Davidson River Campground. "Located right inside Pisgah National forest this campground is perfectly set for all adventures... if you're thinking of riding the mtb trails you're in luck. They start literally across the davidson river from the campground," shares a camper.
Fishing and kayaking: The lakes and rivers provide excellent fishing opportunities. "Lake is underwhelming-but still nice," mentions one visitor about Lake Powhatan, while another camper at Devils Fork State Park says, "Known for trout fishing and hiking trails for all levels. Mountain streams offer fun for kids and kid-wannabes."
Proximity to attractions: Cabin campers appreciate locations that balance natural settings with convenience. A visitor at Lake Powhatan shares, "Great campground for a trip to Asheville! Spent some time in the lake, on hiking trails, and in town."
Peaceful water features: Many cabin sites include creeks or lake access. "We stayed for six days in March. We loved everything about this campground. The sites are spacious and well spaced, offering more privacy than many locations," says a Lake Powhatan camper.
Year-round accessibility: Some cabin facilities remain open through winter. A winter visitor to Davidson River Campground shared, "Enjoyed a winter camping trip to this peaceful area," highlighting the four-season nature of cabin camping options.
Reservation requirements: Most cabin sites require advance booking, especially during peak seasons. At Devils Fork State Park Campground, a visitor advises to "Reserve well in advance."
Variable amenities: Cabin facilities differ significantly between locations. At Rutledge Lake RV Resort, "Bathrooms were always very clean, laundry room was spacious and clean, office staff was kind and helpful. The only thing I would recommend is keeping office open later then 5. When office closes you can not take boats, or kayaks out."
Seasonal operations: Check operating schedules before planning. A visitor notes, "Some properties operate year-round while others close during winter," with facilities like Davidson River operating from "Mar 15 - Nov 1."
Swimming beaches: Several locations offer designated swimming areas perfect for children. A visitor to Devils Fork State Park Campground comments, "So much for family's to do here. We stopped by to check it out on our way to another site and wished they had a spot available. Water is so clear. Site is so clean."
Kid-friendly trails: Look for shorter trails suitable for younger hikers. "The tent sites are set back into the woods but are very exposed to anyone driving by. All sites are laid out differently with some pull through and others back in," notes a Lake Powhatan visitor about trail accessibility.
Noise considerations: Some campgrounds experience high traffic or highway noise. A reviewer at Adventure Village noted, "This campground is cute and quaint. I stopped here for a night to car camp (after office hours) and was able to reach someone by phone to be able to stay overnight."
Site access challenges: Some cabin areas have difficult approach roads. At Adventure Village and Lodgings, "The Tent road, on the other hand…much different. Not well maintained with large ruts from water run off, slick muddy spots and pot holes. A much steeper road than the cabin one, and is a good warm up on a mountain bike."
Connectivity issues: Internet and cell coverage vary widely. "Adventure Village does have about 5 wifi access points. And we could always get a signal. However, even though I'm at full strength on their 2.4gigahertz wi-fi…it was intermittent at best."
Seasonal water restrictions: Winter cabin stays may have limited water access. One reviewer noted, "In addition, we found out after we arrived that due to the temps we were not supposed to use the water connections."
