Reservations are required and run $35 to $50 per night for this hike-in or walk-in cabin within Shenandoah National Park. The cabin sits near a river and provides amenities beyond what most backcountry sites offer, including picnic tables and cell service. Wildlife activity is common along the river corridor, bears included. Pets are welcome, making it a reasonable choice for families or campers traveling with dogs who want dog-friendly camping around Shenandoah National Park with a bit more shelter than a tent site provides.

Hike In Cabin off the AT - 1.5 to 4 miles depending on if you hike off the AT or Skyline Dr (sometimes Skyline is closed)
This recently restored four-room, public cabin is located in the Central District of Shenandoah National Park. Found along the river in Nicholson Hollow, the chestnut log cabin served as the mountain home of moonshiner George Corbin. It was lovingly restored first in 1954 and again in 2017, to preserve the original character of the cabin. Access Corbin by a 1.5-mile hike-in, or a four mile hike-in when Skyline Drive is closed. There, you will find a charming living space with a fireplace next to the kitchen with a wood stove and dining area. Climb the stairs to find a single double-width bunk and two double deck bunks. Bears and snakes are frequently spotted in this area, as a result to the proximity to the river. This cabin offers an abundance of hiking opportunities, in an ideal location within SNP. Call SNP at 540/999-3500 (option 1, option 1) for Skyline Drive closure information and be prepared to pay the Park entrance fee.
