Best Cabin Camping near Pall Mall, TN

Pickett CCC Memorial State Park Campground offers cabin accommodations ranging from connected cabin units to larger freestanding structures, with both rustic and modern options available. The cabins provide access to park amenities including a small lake with swimming area, hiking trails, and stargazing opportunities at this International Dark Sky Park. "The park has a lake with swimming area, and canoe/kayak/paddle board rentals, a swinging bridge, playground, tennis courts, a gigantic picnic area, and several great trails," noted one visitor. True West Campground & Stables provides cabin rentals in addition to their equestrian facilities, while Black House Mountain Campground features mini cabins ideal for ATV riders exploring Big South Fork and Pickett State Forest.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Maple Hill RV Park & Cabins provides year-round access to their cabin accommodations, serving as a convenient base for exploring nearby attractions. Standing Stone State Park and Dale Hollow Lake State Resort Park also offer cabin options with varying amenities and booking requirements. Most cabins in the region require advance reservations, particularly during summer months and weekends. "We stayed for a few days and as a backpacker, the local hikes are some of the best I have ever seen," shared one camper about Pickett State Park's cabin experience. Pet policies vary by location, with many of the campgrounds allowing pets in designated cabins.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary widely between properties, with some offering full kitchens while others provide only basic cooking equipment. Several campgrounds maintain small camp stores for essential supplies, including True West Campground which operates a mercantile. "The mercantile was so cool, we made some purchases in there," one guest noted. Pickett State Park provides firewood for purchase, and many of the cabins offer fire rings for outdoor cooking. Visitors planning extended stays should bring food supplies, as grocery options in the immediate area are limited.

    Sheltowee Trace Adventure Resort

    Easy accessed, good sites/cabins, good amenities

    This campground is conveniently located near Corbin, KY. It sits right off the main road on the way to Cumberland Falls. There are plenty of signs and it is well marked, easy to find. When you pull in the gravel road, the main building and check in area is easily recognized and there are plenty of places to park. Check in was easy and fast. The store has a pretty big selection of camping items, clothes, food, accessories, shoes and snacks. There are also souvenirs. Just outside is the White Dog snack bar. A pretty nice menu with burgers, hot dogs, ice cream and fries. There is also an 8 unit restroom between the snack bar and main building. The restrooms are air conditioned and were always very clean and well stocked. Directly behind the snack bar is the circle of covered wagons with a fire pit in the middle of them. These were really cool looking and seemed like a fun way to camp. We stayed in the cozy cabins which are directly behind the wagons. Cozy cabin 2 had air conditioning, a full size bed and and bunk bed. There was a counter, microwave and mini fridge. 3 stools, a broom, clock, lamp, garbage can, ceiling fan and an electric fire place. Really quaint but a perfect way to camp without being too expensive. Electricity but no running water. There is also a small porch with 2 chairs and side table. A ceiling fan on the front porch is nice. There is a fire pit and a separate raised grill for cooking. The cabin was very clean and bug free. It’s walking distance to the restrooms but the wagons are closer. We walked around the RV and other camping sites as well. The RV sites we saw, were pull through sites and seemed very roomy and easy to get in and out of. The entire campground runs slightly downhill but overall offers flat sites. There are nice, shaded tent sites and an open, sunny area for group camping. The zip line runs from the entrance of the campground and runs over the group camp area, ending just beyond it. There are 2 zip lines available for different age groups. They offer many different activities through their company, such as electric bikes, white water rafting, zip lines, and tubing. We did the rafting and tubing. The rafting was fun and a great way to introduce beginners to the sport. The rapids were not too wild and none of us fell out of the raft. There were several areas to jump out and swim and that was fun. At the end of the rafting, a boat picks you up and you eat lunch and take a boat ride back to the bus. To get to the tubing, you have to drive yourself and it’s an hour drive to get there. The tubing trip lasted about 2 hours and was not very fun. The water was very still and basically we just barely floated down the river in the hot sun. There were 2 areas with small rapids but they didn’t make up for the rest of the still water being boring. We also got separated from our group. By the time we made it to the take out spot, everyone else had gotten out of the river and the shuttle left us behind. We waited for about 10 minutes and decided to start walking back to where we got in the water. After a while, the shuttle came back and saw us. He stopped and picked us up but ultimately felt this was dangerous as we were in the middle Daniel Boone Forest, alone, walking on the road. I would NOT recommend the tubing. It was not worth the money or the drive. If I was reviewing just the tubing experience, I would give 1 star. Everyone at Sheltowee were nice and professional. Our guide, Free (yep, that’s his name), was nice and funny and knowledgeable about the river. If we go again, we would request him again. We would definitely camp here again and recommend it to friends. The only reason I can’t give 5 stars is because of the tubing experience and the fact that it was not clear, when the reservation was made, that the tubing was 1 hour away.

    Falls Creek Cabins & Campground

    Clean, friendly, 5 minutes from Cumberland Falls

    Clean, friendly, reasonable staff with lots of good options for all levels of cabins, camp sites, RV spots, etc. We went with a large group and had people staying in each of these and all were happy. We recommend the Eagle Falls Trail to view the Cumberland Falls and Eagle Falls without the crowds.

    Cumberland Mountain State Park Campground

    Great Day Use or Long-Term Stay For RVs

    Cumberland Mountain has a total of 145 campsites, spread across 5 loops, plus a backcountry site on an 8 mile backpacking trail.

    We have not stayed overnight here as we are tent-campers only, and while tent camping is permitted, after visiting we felt that this campground was much better suited for RV campers. However we have come here for the day to hike and enjoy the playground by the picnic area, and it is a beautiful park, with a large lake, a restaurant, and a bridge that is iconic to the Cumberland region of Tennessee.

    Of the five camping loops, loop 4 offers the most shade (particularly sites 102-109, which are shaded by evergreens and some of the prettiest campsites I have seen in a state park!), although is not ADA accessible. Loop 2 offers the least amount of shade. Loops 1, 3, and 5 have mostly hardwood trees, thus offering more shade in the warmer months and mostly sun in the winter. All sites have picnic tables and fire rings, and most can accommodate trailers up to 60 feet, with a few going higher (site 145 can fit over 100'!). Tent camping is permitted, although in most sites the only space to put a tent is very close to the fire pits or on a gravel/concrete surface, and in loops 2, 3, and 5 the park prohibits tents on the grass within each site.

    Amenities at this park include hiking, fishing, paddling/boat rental, biking, a swimming pool, golf, and birding. Cabins are also available to rent, many with a view of the lake. Day use includes picnic tables, picnic pavilions, and multiple playground areas for kids. This park is also further away from urban areas and is a good place for wildlife viewing--we have seen black snakes, and what looked like a raccoon!

    This is a much less crowded park than Fall Creek Falls to the south, particularly if you can make it early in the season, and is convenient to I-40, premium golfing, and historical sites on the Cumberland Plateau. While there are better options in this region for someone looking to pitch a tent, if you have an RV, Cumberland Mountain is very peaceful, offering a lot of ways to spend your day and a quiet and relaxing spot to watch the stars and enjoy the sounds of nature at night.

    Cumberland Mountain State Park Campground

    Rustic Campground with Lots of Spaces and Things to Do

    The campground part of Cumberland Mountain State Park has several sections, but most of them seem more conducive to RVs than tents.  Although there were a few of us tent campers there, the pads to put the tents were hard gravel.  There are fire pits, lantern poles, grills, and picnic tables—all the necessities for ideal camping.  However, there is not a whole lot of privacy, although my neighbor was very nice.  It’s easy to get lost in this campground with all of the one way roads and different sections.  You almost need a compass or GPS to get around.  The bath house I used seemed in need of attention.  The stalls were rusted and the outside of the bath house didn’t look much better.  It was, however, clean with hot water.  Close to the office there is an aviary, and once you cross the bridge, there is a restaurant and several other amenities.  What was once a building for changing and bathrooms is now a small CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) museum, which tells the history of the area.  There is also an outdoor screen for movies at night, tennis courts, basketball, and playgrounds.  When walking along the shoreline behind the restaurant, you will want to watch out for goose droppings.  For those who like water sports, there is also a canoe and kayak launch area.  The equestrian camping area is separate from the other camping areas, so odor is not a problem.  If you don’t have an RV or a tent, you can also stay in one of the park’s cabins.

    Pickett CCC Memorial State Park Campground

    Beautiful Night Sky, Quiet Camping

    Pickett State Park is a great spot to camp if you like peace and quiet, but don’t want to have to backpack in to a spot. Despite the small campground, it was pretty much empty on the first weekend in August when we stayed. It is near the Big South Fork, and Scott State Forest, so there’s lots of great hiking, horseback riding, river recreation, etc. nearby. From other reviews on The Dyrt, I learned the park is excellent for stargazing, and it is true, you will have amazing views at night, we slept in a tent without a rain fly, just so we could see the stars!

    The campground has several sites with electric and some without. We stayed in B1, which did not have electric. All the sites have picnic tables and fire rings, and the ones on the outside of the loops back up to the woods and trails. All the sites are spacious.

    The restrooms were clean, but they must be pretty old. There were some areas in need of tile repair, but it was just a cosmetic issue, so it didn’t bother me. The showers were nice, and everything was clean.

    The campground also has cabins, and those seemed to have more guests than the campground. They have a set of cabins that were connected, like apartments, and they have some larger, freestanding cabins too. They had a group site as well, but I did not go to it.

    The park has a lake with swimming area, and canoe/kayak/paddle board rentals, a swinging bridge, playground, tennis courts, a gigantic picnic area, and several great trails.

    This was a very pleasant find, and we will definitely return!

    Blue Heron Campground — Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area

    Small and quiet

    The campground has all of the glamping necessities. Water hook-up, electrical, dumping station, clean hot water showers, etc. It's pet friendly and the campground is very clean. The location is excellent for those who love rock climbing (sport and trad), easy and moderate level hiking, white water kayaking, or maybe want to spend a day or two also doing some backcountry camping. There are bears and other curious wildlife so make sure to keep your stuff in the provided bear boxes!


Guide to Pall Mall

Cabin camping near Pall Mall, Tennessee provides access to the rugged Cumberland Plateau region, where elevations range from 900 to 1,800 feet. The plateau creates distinct microclimates that affect camping conditions throughout the year, with autumn nights typically dropping below 45°F even when days remain warm. Winter cabin rentals require additional preparation as temperatures can fall below freezing from December through February.

What to do

Stargazing at dark sky sites: Pickett CCC Memorial State Park Campground is designated as an International Dark Sky Park with a dedicated astronomy field. "Pickett CCC is recognized as a dark sky park. If you're into astronomy or just enjoy looking up at the stars this is the perfect place. The stars can be enjoyed from just about anywhere but a short drive down the road there's an astronomy field," notes one visitor to Pickett CCC Memorial State Park Campground.

Trail exploration: The region offers trails ranging from easy walks to challenging hikes. "There are plenty of short trails and the lake within walking distance of the campground. This makes the campground excellent for kids," reports one camper at Pickett CCC. Another notes, "The ladder trailhead is in the upper campground. Very technical, and challenging trail."

Paddling opportunities: Most cabins are near water access points for kayaking and canoeing. At Dale Hollow Lake State Resort Park, "The lake is beautiful and really close. There are nice hiking trails. Lots of wildlife around," according to a recent visitor.

What campers like

Historic structures: Many cabins in the area were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps. "The structures in the park were built back in the day, with big rocks and pride in construction. The campground is my favorite type, small. You can easily feel like you're camping in the 50s with all the modern conveniences," explains a visitor to Pickett CCC Memorial State Park.

Natural features: The region's geology creates unique opportunities for exploration near many cabin sites. "At the lake there's kayak and canoeing where you actually paddle under a natural bridge. There's a swimming area, geese and fishing. The rock formations are awesome," notes one Pickett CCC visitor.

Winter availability: Several properties maintain year-round cabin rentals. Maple Hill RV Park & Cabins stays open through winter months, providing heated accommodation options when many campgrounds close. Standing Stone State Park Campground offers cabins year-round, with a camper noting, "The park has lots of great hiking trails, a playground, and a pool with concessions."

What you should know

Site accessibility: Some cabins require advanced planning for larger groups. "Sites are level and pretty spacious, if not some a little tight together. My only complaint was that the restroom wasn't marked on the map that I could see so I ended up being very far away from it," explains a camper at Blue Heron Campground.

Limited connectivity: Cell service is minimal or non-existent at many cabin locations. "There is little to no cell service in the park. You're about 10-15 minutes from the grocery store," reports a visitor to Standing Stone State Park.

Seasonal variations: Summer cabin availability is limited, particularly on weekends. Water features may have restricted access during colder months, and some facilities close seasonally. "We visited during the off-season and found out quickly that everything was pretty much closed, including the main lodge restaurant that we had hoped to eat at," notes one visitor to Lake Cumberland State Resort Park.

Tips for camping with families

Educational opportunities: Family-friendly cabins often include nearby programming. "We took advantage of two excellent ranger-led programs. The dark sky did not cooperate for us (cloud coverage), but the evening hike to see the glow worms was spectacular!" shares a visitor to Pickett CCC Memorial State Park.

Activity planning: Cabins with nearby recreational options reduce travel time with children. At True West Campground & Stables, "The location is great, just 20 minutes from Jamestown for a quick trip to Walmart or the Dollar store. Nice little restaurant just 4 miles down the road if you don't want to cook. Picket state park is only 30 minutes down the road for some nice hiking and other activities."

Cabin selection: Some properties offer specialized accommodation for families. "Campground has Cabins, Bunk house, full hook-ups and primitive spots," notes a visitor to East Fork Stables. Another visitor to True West Campground mentions, "They had campsites, covered wagons, and cabins."

Tips from RVers

Leveling challenges: Some cabin and RV sites require additional equipment for proper setup. "Sites are very unlevel, some are set up so that your door faces the road and others are just on top of each other. Based on the popularity of this park, I was really surprised that the campground was falling apart," shares a visitor to Lake Cumberland State Resort Park.

Utility considerations: Electric and water connections vary significantly between properties. "Take an extra power cord. Electric and water are laid out poorly and we had to purchase an extra cord," advises an RVer at Lake Cumberland State Resort Park.

Winter preparation: Cabins with RV hookups require different winter setup than summer camping. "The sites can be tricky for folks who aren't used to having a horse trailer. But, if you have the right skills, you got it!" notes a visitor to True West Campground.
