Anne K. mentions it has "Pirate's Cove waterpark" which is "definitely a highlight in summer" and notes the availability of "boating in summer from kayaks to motorboats."
Well-stocked camp stores: Many cabin rentals near Milford are at campgrounds with on-site stores. Hidden Acres Campground maintains a camp store with essentials. Crystal C. found they have a "pretty nice little store with lots of options for those who didn't bring everything with them."

What you should know
Reservation timing: Book cabin rentals well in advance during peak summer season. Thomas S. notes when staying at Fredericksburg KOA that "the admin called us when they were closing to make sure we knew they had our reservation and the paperwork would be in the night drop."
Heating and cooling: Many cabin rentals near Milford include climate control options. The Richmond North - Kings Dominion KOA cabins maintain comfortable temperatures year-round. During winter stays, Josh J. found Pohick Bay "nice and quiet here during winter more so during week than weekends."
Shower facilities: Bathhouse quality varies between properties. Crystal C. noted Hidden Acres Campground offers "nice bath houses" while Tina C. at Christopher Run Campground found more limitations: "the shower left SO MUCH to be desired... the shower head is on the ceiling which is about 10 feet tall. There is a push button to turn water on (no temp adjustment) and it only allows 36 SECONDS of water."
Tips for camping with families
Kid-friendly activities: Many cabin campgrounds have dedicated recreation options for children. Wilderness Presidential Resort offers multiple swimming options. Dan & Karen M. highlight that "there are indoor and outdoor pools, a lakeside beach, a well stocked campground store and two fishing lakes and a fishing pond to choose from."
Playground proximity: When booking a cabin with children, consider locations near play areas. Ben G. at Pohick Bay Campground selected "a site on the inner loop and it backed to the playground and the bathhouse," noting that "the campground was quiet which is nice."
Age-appropriate options: Christopher Run Campground works better for some age groups than others. Brooke V. advises: "The playground is for kids 5+ and there's not much to do outside of swimming in the lake for 5 and under. I'd recommend for adults and teens more so than large families with younger kiddos."
Tips from RVers
Seasonal variations: Westmoreland State Park Campground cabins remain open during colder months. RL reports visiting "in March 2018 for my birthday, when it was still VERY cold" and notes "bath houses are heated which is amazing."
Site selection: Look for level and spacious cabin areas. At Richmond North - Kings Dominion KOA, Scott T. enjoyed "a larger pull through lot that faced the woods" but notes "some of the sites look pretty tight, but that can be common with a lot of KOA's."
Amenities comparison: Evaluate cabin offerings based on included features. Some R & D Family Campground cabins have basic setups while others include more facilities. Jacob S. observed the campground "had a basketball hoop and wooded area" though many residences "appeared to be permanent."
