4 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Occoneechee State Park Campground and Twin Lakes State Park offer some of the best cabin camping near Boydton, Virginia, with options ranging from rustic log cabins to fully furnished three-bedroom units. Cabins at Occoneechee include furnished three-bedroom units with full kitchens, bathrooms, and fireplaces. "We stayed in Cabin #3 and it was perfect. It's a 3BR/2BA spacious cabin, wooded and lakeside. Great sunsets and nice big deck," noted one visitor. The cabins provide electricity, running water, and climate control systems. Lake Gaston Americamps also offers cabin rentals with varying amenities based on cabin category.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Several campgrounds in the region provide log cabin options, with Twin Lakes State Park featuring both basic and premium units. At Occoneechee State Park, cabins have lakeside views with private decks or porches. Reservations are recommended, particularly during summer months when facilities reach capacity. Pet policies vary by location, with some cabins being pet-friendly while others restrict animals. Most cabin locations operate year-round, though amenities and services may be reduced during winter.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. According to a visitor review, "Kitchen is equipped with microwave, toaster, coffee pot, water glasses, coffee mugs, plates, bowls, utensils, can opener, etc. If you have the space to pack them, I recommend bringing a couple of your own pots and pans; limited options there." Some rustic cabin rentals have minimal kitchen facilities, while others feature full kitchens with refrigerators and stoves. The town of Clarksville is conveniently located near Occoneechee State Park for additional supplies. Many cabins offer outdoor fire rings and picnic tables for cooking and dining in natural surroundings.
"Its like tent camping except you get to sleep in a bed. We stayed in September so the fact that there is no AC or electricity in the yurt was not an issue because the weather was moderate."
"We stayed in Cabin #3 and it was perfect. It’s a 3BR/2BA spacious cabin, wooded and lakeside. Great sunsets and nice big deck (some areas of the porch are covered, and have rocking chairs)."

"Many of the group sites butt up to the lake. The central fire pit, picnic tables, water spigot and clean restrooms make this a popular choice."
"The“primitive” area is Loop C, which means it does not have water or electricity at the sites. However, the sites do have picnic tables and lantern hangers."

"Some are close to the water. Lots of clearly marked hiking trails, 3 playgrounds, Frisbee golf and horshoe pits. Really preety and lots of boat docks. Staff are super nice."
"All sites have water and electricity. There is a single dump station near the entrance."
from $12 - $25 / night
ScoutThis is a nice place to paddle board. They also have a really cool disk golf course that we just hiked. The staff are super friendly. Classic NC country folk. The restrooms have been redone and now there is a bank of individual shower/rest rooms. The only drawback is it's kind of a long uphill walk from the campsites on a gravel road.
TravelerFirst time to Loop C and we loved it. There are some great sites here, they are big and most are decently spaced. It rained heavily while there, some sites will hold water, but I didn’t see any fully submerged. There’s no electrical hook ups, there are a few potable water spickets throughout the loop. The bathroom was very clean.
RangerI've read reviews about noise levels and lack of privacy. But we experienced the opposite, at least at our campsite.
ScoutI don’t even know where to begin on how bad this place is. For the price, I was expecting a clean park with lots to do and nice staff…I got none of that. There’s no sewage hookups in most sites and no WiFi. Most sites are annual campers who live there and I don’t think by choice. Our neighbors a few sites down were using hardcore drugs in the open in front of children. Our site was so uneven and FILTHY, it was littered with an entire trash bag full of cigarette butts and beer cans. There’s nothing to do besides swim in a crowded, cloudy pool full of sloppy drunks or swim in the lake. We were given a packet full of insane rules, after being screamed at by a staff member at the entrance while we were trying to find someone to check in with. We went to the store during one of the very limited times they were open and got to listen to the staff there say horrifying things about guests…in front of my minor children. When we returned, we found two unsavory men going through our belongings. We hooked up and left with two days remaining. This homeless encampment they call a campground is disgusting, rude and unsafe. DO NOT GO!
TravelerEasy back in camp sites some have a bit of steep up hill to the flat space the area is hilly I was only her 2 nights so I didn’t really have much time to explore I came here to visit my Uncle and I needed a place to park his home area is to small.
GuideWe stayed here Memorial weekend 2026. We had a tent only site with no hook ups. It was site 48 which is the first site you come across when pulling into the campgrounds.
Site was built into a hill and had several steps leading up to it. Much smaller site than we are used to at VA State parks. Looking at the other sites they were also on the smaller side and oddly shaped.
Easy access to the River Bank trail and Captain Staunton trail directly from the campsites. Great when you have kiddos that don't want to walk a ton.
Great views throughout of the Staunton River & Dan River. Lots of deer sightings in the morning and early evenings. Great activities with the rangers including a wagon wide through the park.
It was rainy during our stay so no chance to take advantage of the Dark Sky classification. When skys are clear they do have an astronomer that comes out on the weekends in the summer.
GuideWe stayed in the tent only section for Labor Day weekend in 2024. The tent sites were not very level and close together. They were entirely gravel.
The kiddos enjoyed the swimming beach and some of the play items built in. The slide and some other pieces had seen better days and needed a bit of a refresh.
We didn't have a chance to check out any trails, but plan to go back on the future.
GuideThis is a surprisingly zen spot for what is basically a parking lot surrounded a pine plantation. The community is very friendly and includes a lot of long-term residents, some of whom even have little veggie gardens. There's a lovely little pool and hot tub (unfortunately for the youth, they aren't allowed in the latter), a pool table, a grill, a little putt-putt golf course, and a nice dog park. There is also (at least on the women's side) a very nice universal access shower suite. And some of the spots come with sweet little gazebos to hang out in! I was permitted, with only a few hours notice, to arrive after office hours, for which I was very grateful.
GuideMedoc Mountain State Park campground has been recently renovated. All of the full hook up sites and primitive sites are spacious and well kept. We camped in site #26 which was level and spacious. The sites on the outside of the loop are pretty level. The bathrooms/showers are new, spacious, and clean. There is a great playground in walking distance. There are many hiking trails that start near the campground. None of them have amazing views, but they are nice and well marked. I enjoyed the Bluff View trail the most. We were able to hike 6 miles both days we were there. Added bonus: campground is close to I-95. The only drawback is the lack of a close grocery store. Dollar General is less than 5 miles away.

Stargazing: Staunton River State Park holds International Dark Sky Park status with telescope loans available. "The park has been recognized as International Dark sky and there are two telescopes that can be checked out for free at the visitor's center," notes a reviewer at Staunton River State Park Campground.
Historical exploration: Several parks feature historical trails showcasing regional heritage. "We hiked the Plantation Trail, a large historical site that was once a homestead. Mellow, family-friendly walk with a cemetery, historical markers, and an old chimney."
Privacy between sites: Some cabin areas offer more separation than others. At Lake Gaston Americamps, "Employees are friendly and they have a small shop on site. Bathrooms were clean but had to drive to them from the tent sites."
Wildlife viewing: The natural habitat supports diverse animal species. "While staying there I saw a skunk, a groundhog, several deer and a great variety of birds. We enjoyed gorgeous sunsets from a little beach area near the cabins."
Cabin amenities: Vacation rentals near Boydton come with various appointments. "Kitchens are nicely appointed, rooms are nicely decorated, just bring your own sheets and linens and get ready for a fantastic time."
Seasonal operation: Some campground facilities have reduced services during off-peak months. "We stayed in September so the fact that there is no AC or electricity in the yurt was not an issue because the weather was moderate."
Site dimensions: Pay attention to campsite specifications when booking. "Not all sites are flat and some are very hard to drive into. Many have very nice lake views, and some are totally private," reports a camper at Bullocksville Campground.
Terrain considerations: Sites at some locations may present challenges. "The tent sites are on the water so the view is pretty, but not private. The picnic tables and fire rings are at the bottom of hill so when it rained, water ran down the hill and it became very muddy where we eat."
Water activities: Several parks feature kid-friendly water areas. "We spent most of our free time at the splash pad. The kids loved that!" mentions a camper about facilities at Twin Lakes State Park.
Educational programs: Medoc Mountain State Park offers learning opportunities. "There is a nature learning lab, some cool animals, and a fantastic gift shop. This was our first time here and we are definitely going back."
Playground facilities: Multiple parks have designated play areas. "The park offers several activities: hiking, biking, fishing, wildlife viewing, boating (if you bring your own boat), stargazing. There is a large playground and easy walking trails."
Site leveling: Be prepared to adjust your setup. "1st time at Lake Gaston Americamps campground. The staff is awesome. Everyone was helpful, polite, friendly and made you feel welcomed. Now for the complaints: most sites are 30 amp and are unlevel. Some are a challenge to get your unit level."
Utility hookups: Mayo Lake Park provides basic connections. "All sites have water and electricity. There is a single dump station near the entrance. The road leading to the camping area is single lane so if you meet another camper going the other way it could get a little dicey."
Campground navigation: Some parks have challenging access roads. "The campground is primarily designed for small campers but there are a few spots that would accommodate campers in the 40 foot range. Three are two loops, one for RVs and one for tent campers."
