Best Cabin Camping near Sapphire, NC
Gorges State Park and Blue Ridge Falls RV Resort near Sapphire offer cabin accommodations with varying amenities. Gorges State Park features primitive cabins as part of their newer campground development that opened in 2022. A reviewer noted that the park "has had primitive camping for years, but this year is the first season with an area for RVs/trailers and a separate area for tent campers." Blue Ridge Falls RV Resort (formerly Riverbend RV Resort) provides more developed cabin options with full hookups and comfortable furnishings, situated along a creek with private waterfall views.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. The primitive cabins at Gorges State Park offer basic shelter with minimal amenities, while Blue Ridge Falls RV Resort cabins provide more comfort and conveniences. Reservations are essential, particularly during peak seasons from spring through fall. Most cabin sites include electricity and water hookups. One visitor commented that Blue Ridge Falls RV Resort has "large private, level sites" and "lots of mature landscaping," making it ideal for those seeking a more comfortable cabin experience. Many of the cabin options in the area are pet-friendly with appropriate restrictions.
Visitors staying in cabins should plan to bring personal items like bedding, towels, and toiletries as these are rarely provided, especially at more rustic locations. Cooking facilities vary widely between properties—some cabins include basic kitchenettes while others rely on communal facilities or fire rings. The Gorges State Park visitor center provides information about local amenities, and several properties like Blue Ridge Falls RV Resort have on-site markets for basic supplies. For more substantial grocery needs, nearby towns offer full-service stores, though stocking up before arrival is recommended given the remote mountain location of many cabin properties.
