Best Cabin Camping near Cheraw, SC

139 Reviews

Several state parks and private campgrounds near Cheraw, South Carolina provide furnished cabin rentals with varying amenities. Little Pee Dee State Park offers a sleeping cabin with air conditioning, heating, bunk beds, and a free-standing bed that accommodates up to four people. According to a visitor, "The campground recently built a sleeping cabin, which is a cute structure with air conditioning/heat, bunk beds, and a free-standing bed. Guests can use a fire ring and Adirondack chairs, hammock, and grill." Cheraw State Park features cabin accommodations with electricity and water hookups, situated on Lake Juniper with access to hiking trails, boat rentals, and swimming areas. Florence RV Park includes 4-5 log cabins for rent at the front of the property, though these are located near highway traffic.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available in the region, with options for different group sizes and comfort levels. Most state park cabins require advance reservations, especially during the peak season from May through November. Pet policies vary by location, with some properties like Standing Pines Campground and Pedro's Campground at South of the Border allowing pets in their cabin accommodations. Cane Creek Park in nearby North Carolina offers cabin rentals in a wooded setting with lake access for fishing and boating. A visitor noted, "They have camping for RVs, cabin rentals and tent sites for either large groups or individuals. The hiking trail is beautiful and takes you around the whole lake." Many cabins include outdoor amenities like fire rings, picnic tables, and grills for cooking and dining.

Most cabin rentals provide beds with mattresses but require guests to bring their own linens, pillows, blankets, and towels. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between properties, from basic setups with only outdoor fire rings to more equipped units with microwaves or small refrigerators. Visitors should check specific cabin amenities before arrival to plan accordingly. Ranger stations or camp stores at state parks typically stock firewood, ice, and limited groceries. For more substantial supplies, the town of Cheraw has an IGA grocery store approximately 10 minutes from Cheraw State Park, with a Walmart located slightly farther away for more extensive shopping needs. Cooking equipment, food storage containers, and cleaning supplies are rarely provided, so these items should be included on packing lists for cabin camping trips.

    Little Pee Dee State Park Campground

    A quiet and clean state park

    Little Pee Dee State Park is a quiet and clean campground on the banks of Lake Norton. Locals often come here for fishing and non-motorized boating.  We were fortunate to witness a mass crayfish event--the recent flooding had brought them out of the swamp and up the spillway, much to the delight of seafood lovers.

    The campground had two different campground hosts, and they kept the restrooms and campsites immaculately clean.

    Campsites have a fire ring/grate and a picnic table, but no trash cans, and you'll need to bring your trash to a large bin located at the edge of the campsites.

    There are some nice sites right at the edge of Lake Norton, but the abundant water plants don't allow you to fish from the side of the lake, and it's not really a swimming lake. These sites accommodate RVs and have water & electric.  If you're on a budget, there are tent-only sites off the water.

    The campground recently built a sleeping cabin, which is a cute structure with air conditioning/heat, bunk beds, and a free-standing bed (the cabin sleeps four, total). Guests can use a fire ring and Adirondack chairs, hammock, and grill.

    The park also has a nice shelter for use.

    There is no WiFi here, and cellular internet is spotty. There isn't a camp store, but the Ranger Station does have ice, firewood, and a small number of souvenirs for sale.

    Florence RV Park

    Drive-By RV Parking Lot Community

    This spot is so close to I95 (look for exit 169) that you’ll both feel and hear the swoosh of passing by traffic 24/7. So, while you’ll incur ease and convenience, that will come at a cost (privacy and quietude being what you will sacrifice most).  Located in the NE pocket of the Palmetto State, Florence RV Park, while not a destination per se, could be a nice (and incredibly easy) layover on your trip destination to anywhere else up or down this major east coast highway artery.

    Despite the location, this spot has a lot to offer: an intimate little public pool behind the management office, WiFi hotspots, dog park, scattered picnic tables (in pretty good condition), kid’s playground, 20 / 30 / 50 amp hook-ups, dump station, dog walk area, catch & release fishing pond, propane refueling station, vending machines, small pond for fishing, basketball court, volleyball, badminton and horseshoe rings. There’s even 4-5 log cabins for rent at the front of the property (with full access to all the highway noise) and of course, good old fashioned on-site laundry facilities along with a mini-store that has most of the basics covered as well as fairly spartan shower / bathing facilities. 

    Insider’s tip? Here's a few: (1) The further east you are on the property, all the better as you’ll be positioned as far away from I95 traffic and noise; (2) If tent camping, I highly recommend spots #A7 – A13 and if you are RV’ing I recommend #L9 – L18 as well as any of the locations on J, K and F11 – F16; (3) There’s a lot to explore near here, from the Grand Strand of South Carolina, of course, Myrtle Beach and even Darlington Raceway, so if you don’t mind the overpopulated location with its westerly view of non-stop traffic, then this could be a good place to stop for the night or from which to launch your exploration of the area; (4) If you’ve looked at this RV campground’s website, don’t be fooled by the pictures – I don’t think any of them were actually taken of the place, save for the pond, and that was a close-up; and (5) If you are looking for a nearby spot to sample the local fare, I recommend checking out The Drive-In Restaurant with its 50s era nostalgia, big juicy burgers, fried everything, homemade onion rings and thick, creamy chocolate shakes.

    Happy Camping!

    Pedro's Campground at South of the Border

    Roadside RV Amusement Park

    If you haven’t been to a roadside circus lately or don’t want to shell out the dough for Disney World, then this particular RV amusement park location just off of I-95 and due south of the North Carolina/ South Carolina border may just be the perfect spot for you. 

    With a wide-array of parallel, elongated parking lanes for your parking pleasure, all of the sites come equipped with the typical 30/ 50 amp electrical hook-ups, waste disposal and water connections. There’s the standard picnic table, fire ring/BBQ, garbage receptacles, 3-4 communal bathhouses and even a handful of community BBQ’s. 

    The hosts, who work out of the Camp Pedro Store/ Office are incredibly nice and offer pricing by the night or week. There’s not a ton of amenities to pick and choose from– APART FROM THE NON-STOP LINEUP OF AMUSEMENT PARK options you will find everywhere! But the campground itself features 2-3 community playgrounds, group BBQ’s and the everything-you-need store. And while I looked, there’s no pool to speak of. 

    Insider’s Tip? Near this RV parking lot, you do have access to Betsy Jackson Bay if you want to get away and off the beaten path a bit to explore nature… otherwise, head back to Pedro’s, put on your silly hat, load up the car full of tchotchkies and get your fill of this whacky Tex Mex experience! 

    Happy Camping!

    Cane Creek Park

    A Great Place for the Whole Family.

    Located just outside historic Waxhaw NC, Cane Creek is part of the NC Soil Conservative Sites. They offer day passes,$4.00 per car where you can launch you kayak canoe or fishing boat. If you like Bass Fishing, they rank as one of the best spots around. They have swimming areas for both day users and one for campers. This really is a gem within Union Co NC. The campground is on the other side of the lake. They have camping for RV’s, Cabin Rentals and tent sites for either large groups or individuals. The hiking trail is beautiful and takes you around the whole lake. Watch for horses, as this is a great place for riders too.

    Cane Creek Park

    Great clean campground

    We have stayed at Cane Creek 2x now and enjoy the park so much. Lake, hiking trails and nice wooded campsites with fire rings and close proximity to bath houses. Playground for kids, little store, friendly staff. Beach swimming area closed due to Covid but looks nice. Park on other side of lake has picnic shelters, more trails, frisbee golf and kayak rentals that will open after Covid. Only problem is that both times we visited there was a storm and power went out for hours. Can’t really do anything about that!

    Morrow Mountain State Park Campground

    Good

    So, if you end up in a crap site you might drop those 4 stars to 3. Its going to be impossible to determine a great site from a bad without going there since the only pic they have online is from site 1. B loop, has a lot of RVs. A loop, has the amphitheater. C loop, felt like the smallest loop and really close to the entry hiking trail. We've stayed in both A and C. C loop, site 48, is where we stayed this trip. Its a good site. Close to the showers, which are clean and well maintained. Close to the trash bins and water spicket as well. Behind the site is a great little "valley" to explore if you have kids/dogs. Has awesome trees for hammocks and the tent pad doesnt slope. Did not love the fire pit at this site but the sites to the left and right are great. Overall, tons of sites and good clean facilities. The trails are plentiful so you shouldnt run out of places to explore.

    Cheraw State Park Campground — Cheraw State Park

    VERY Nice campground!!

    The camping spots were clean and well kept....some have water and electric hookups and some are more rustic. There are plenty of large spaces for RVs with lots of room around them for privacy. It felt very private even though there were people all around. The bathrooms and showers were amazingly clean and they had a giant heater you can turn on over the showers when it's cold outside! There is a lake with a swimming area that was also well-maintained and clean, it has a boardwalk that goes around a large portion of the lake that connects the campground with the beach are. You can rent kayaks and canoes to take out on the lake, and the fishing is excellent! They also have rental cabins by the swimming area but I've never stayed in one. It is a nice campground, quiet and great for children! I will definitely go back!

    Morrow Mountain State Park Campground

    Historical get away in the forest

    The swaying of pine trees with the smell of the forest greets us at this easily accessible site in our motorhome. Electric and water hookups at our site, dump station available on the way out, camp host available. Picnic tables, fire pit available at our site. Lots of shade, plenty of trails that cover this State Park. The Kron house nearby, the swimming pool ( closed at time of our visit). The town of Albemarle 10 minutes away and Badin lake right down the mountain. Lots of history here just stop at the ranger station for information, maps and more.

Guide to Cheraw

Cabin camping near Cheraw, South Carolina offers several options within the Sandhills region where the coastal plain transitions to the Piedmont. This area features sandy soil and mixed pine-hardwood forests at approximately 200 feet elevation. Winter temperatures rarely drop below freezing, making cabin camping possible year-round with summer highs typically reaching the mid-90s.

What to do

Explore lake activities: Cheraw State Park Campground offers lake-based recreation on Lake Juniper. "The lake is beautiful. Awesome walking trail that takes you to the other side of the lake where there is a playground. Lots of swings and benches and picnic tables around," notes Sara M., who visited during December when the park was less crowded.

Fish from waterfront sites: Many campsites at Cheraw State Park provide direct lake access. "I really love setting up on the water sites and having my kayak and fishing gear ready to go. The golf course is excellent and price friendly," reports one camper who frequents the park.

Hike nature trails: Morrow Mountain State Park offers several trail options for hikers within a reasonable drive. "We went on the Big Rocks Trail. There wasn't much to see until we got to the end of it and went down the cliff. Then the views were amazing," shares Jen P., who recommends this non-loop trail for its dramatic endpoint views.

What campers like

Quiet off-season stays: Visiting during winter months provides a more peaceful experience. According to a Cheraw State Park camper, "We were lucky enough to catch a great view of Jupiter merging with Saturn last night. Super cheap. We stayed four nights for under $100."

Wildlife viewing opportunities: The region's wetland ecosystems attract diverse birdlife. "Bird sanctuary so birders will LOVE this campground! There is also a really nice museum type of visitor's center," explains Bran P. about their experience at Cane Creek Park.

Clean shower facilities: Multiple campers comment on well-maintained bathroom facilities. At Morrow Mountain State Park, "The bathhouse is brand new. The camp host was very helpful and checked on everybody, every day," according to Robert D., highlighting the attentive management.

What you should know

Seasonal lake levels: Lake levels can vary throughout the year. One camper at Little Pee Dee State Park noted, "When my family went in 2017 they had drained the lake because of a hurricane so if you plan on going I would suggest doing some research to see if the lake is back and running."

Wi-Fi connectivity: Internet access varies significantly between parks. "The only drawback was that there was no Wi-Fi," reports Robert D. about Morrow Mountain State Park. At other locations, service may be limited or unavailable, particularly in more remote cabin locations.

Site privacy considerations: Campsite spacing differs between parks and specific loops. At Cheraw State Park, one visitor observed, "The regular sites are usually full, and very close, but the lake front sites are gorgeous and worth being close to neighbors."

Tips for camping with families

Activity options: Norwood Campground provides multiple recreation choices. "Great little gem in the area to avoid the chaos and calamity with the other Uwharrie area campgrounds. Very quiet and peaceful. Spacious lots in a wooded setting, includes a pool, walking trails, and access to Lake Tillery," notes Cory A.

Pool access: Several parks offer swimming options beyond natural water bodies. A Norwood Campground visitor mentions, "Decent campground with a pond for fishing, a swimming pool, and a store. The pool doesn't have normal steps that you walk down into the pool on, they only have the ladder steps which make it a little tricky getting in with a small child."

Playground facilities: Many camping areas include play structures. "Beautiful place to camp, hike, and kayak! There is also a playground for kids," writes Emily B. about her Cane Creek Park experience, highlighting the range of activities available for different age groups.

Tips from RVers

Site access roads: Access roads to some parks may present challenges. A visitor to Standing Pines Campground notes its newness: "The dump trucks and heavy equipment just pulled out a couple weeks ago, so the campground looks like a construction zone a little bit still."

Hookup availability: Electrical service varies between parks and specific sites. At Cheraw State Park, one camper reports, "30/50 hookups and water. No sewer but very close dump station in campground. Primitive camping area for tents too. Pull through sites and back in."

Site conditions: Weather can affect ground conditions at several area campgrounds. Prepare for sandy soil in many locations, which affects leveling and stabilizing RVs but typically drains well after rain.
