    Several state parks and private campgrounds near Cleveland, Virginia provide furnished cabin rentals with varying amenities. Hungry Mother State Park offers three distinct cabin types: historic log exteriors built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, wooden frame cabins with wooden interiors, and cinderblock structures with tile floors. All cabins include kitchens with microwaves, stoves, and refrigerator/freezers, plus bathrooms with showers and fireplaces with heating and air conditioning. Natural Tunnel State Park Campground features cabins that can accommodate up to sixteen people in various sleeping arrangements. According to one visitor, "The cabins are very clean and relatively new," with modern facilities and comfortable furnishings. Breaks Interstate Park also provides well-appointed cabins with electricity and indoor plumbing, situated near recreational facilities.

    Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location and price point. The Bristol-Kingsport KOA offers budget-friendly cabin camping options that provide basic shelter with access to campground amenities. One camper noted, "The young man who helped me observed I was alone and put me in a small cabin for no additional charge." Lonesome Pines Cabins provides pet-friendly accommodations with electric hookups, picnic tables, and full bathroom facilities. Most cabins require advance reservations, especially during summer months when facilities like swimming beaches and boat rentals are operational. Hungry Mother State Park cabins are particularly popular during "fireplace season" in fall and winter, with one reviewer mentioning, "Stayed in a small cabin for thanksgiving and it was quite and peaceful. There was 2 small bedrooms and a very tiny kitchen. The living room had a fireplace and a bundle of wood was provided with reservation."

    While most cabins include beds and basic furniture, visitors typically need to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen supplies vary significantly between locations, with state park cabins generally better equipped than KOA or private campground options. Camp stores at locations like Natural Tunnel State Park and Breaks Interstate Park stock basic provisions, firewood, and ice. For more extensive grocery needs, nearby towns provide shopping options, though some parks like Breaks Interstate Park are relatively remote. As one visitor advised, "Be sure to bring all necessary supplies BEFORE you get here, nearest stores are a 20 minute drive away on crooked mountain roads." Most cabin sites include outdoor fire rings, picnic tables, and access to clean bathhouses with showers, creating a comfortable balance between rustic forest cabins and modern conveniences.

      Natural Tunnel State Park Campground

      State Park with an Amazing Veiw and Rich Historical Background

      This is the first time I have stayed in a yurt, and it was definitely a learning experience. First of all, it is a cross between a tent and a cabin, and it has no electricity, bathroom, or running water. This was not so bad since the campground bath house was only a couple of hundred feet away. However, the temperatures were in the lower 90s outside, and once we walked inside the yurt, it was like walking into an oven. The temperature had to be somewhere around 110 degrees inside. Immediately after opening the door, opening the window and opening the canvas window coverings, we could feel the heat pouring out of the yurt. Fortunately, I had two 100-foot extension cords and a fan in our car. I plugged into the closest campsite and ran the cord to the yurt. There is no way we could have stayed in the yurt without the fan, so if you decide to stay in a yurt at this park during the summer, make sure to take extension cords and at least one fan. One thing that my wife and I found strange was that there were handrails along the three steps to the deck around the yurt, but there were no handrails beside the rougher steps leading to the yurt. Once we got the yurt cooled off to a decent temperature(high 70s), it wasn’t too bad. It had a queen bed and a trundle bed, which our grandson stayed on. A couch, side tables, and a dining table was also inside. The overall appearance inside the yurt was pleasant, and there was a picnic table and rocking chairs on the outside on the deck. There was also a fire pit, another picnic table, and a lantern hanger included with this yurt on the ground outside of the deck area. You will have to take your own linens for the beds—a queen and a single. There are two campgrounds in this state park, and each one is quite different. The Lover’s Leap campground has space for larger RVs and appears to be the newer of the two campgrounds. Although there are playgrounds, a swimming complex, an amphitheater, and much more, some of these venues are closed for the season due to the pandemic. The one thing I was really looking forward to(the chairlift) is only open on weekends. However, we were able to hike a couple of trails and see the natural tunnel. There are also cabins in the campground and they have a variety of sleeping arrangements of up to sixteen people in one cabin. The historical background of the state park is varied and extensive, so there are a lot of things to see within the park and surrounding the park. My wife and I decided we really want to come back and camp here again when we have more time. Overall, the campground has a lot of opportunities for different types of camping, and a lot to do, but if you stay in a yurt, be prepared.

      Natural Tunnel State Park Primitive Camping — Natural Tunnel State Park

      Primitive at its finest

      Booked a 3 night stay over the weekend and had the primitive camping area to ourselves. 5 spots with tent pads, picnic tables, fire pit, hanging poles, and bear box. Then there is a very large, communal fire pit, and an open but covered shelter with picnic tables and an outlet to charge your tech things. Water spigot at top, a little walk, uphill, for water. The camp store people said they are unable to use spigot nearby common shelter because it’s no good. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Glad we brought our large bladder so we weren’t constantly going up and down the hill for water. Camp store with some basics at entrance, and person on golf cart drives around checking on things. Trash dumpster, up the hill just past water spigot. Couldn’t have asked for a more peaceful place, especially for the price, $15/night. Took advantage of some of the hiking trails, which were well maintained and marked. Also, went and checked out the natural tunnel via chairlift. The other two campgrounds looked nice, with big, fancy bathhouses. And the cabins, wow, fancy! Hooray for Virginia State Parks!!

      Bristol-Kingsport KOA

      What luck!

      I’d never used a KOA before but was tremendously impressed with the serene beauty of this place situated well away from traffic in a bucolic setting. Mindful of my budget I learned to ask for a tent site with no electricity, no water, just toilets and showers. The young man who helped me observed I was alone and put me in a small cabin for no additional charge. Just outside the cabin was a bonfire of old wood from construction debris. I was super stoked to get this deal. I spent lots of time stoking that fire and sitting outdoors watching the evening arrive. If you’re anywhere near the area do stop in and enjoy a quiet and lovely night. You can even pet the horses nearby.

      Breaks Interstate Park Campground

      Great Way to Getaway

      The Breaks are considered the “Grand Canyon of the south”. Great mountaintop views, hiking, geocaching, kayaking, paddle boats, a zip line, and seasonal white water rafting all available. A few miles from the campground you’ll even find river access with a sandy beach for summer fun. A wonderful getaway when you want to be away from it all. Several campground sections to choose from with primitive sites to full hookup with electric, water, and sewer. Dump stations are available also. There are laundry facilities and bathhouses (didn’t use either so not sure on condition), playgrounds, picnic shelters, cabins, and inns. Each campsite had a fire ring and picnic table. Spots are definitely not level, so bring a variety of blocks—you’ll need them. No outside lights at the sites so when it’s dark it’s d-a-r-k. Beautiful campground.

      Black Bear Resort

      Remote, quiet campground on the stream - options for the whole family!

      Black Bear Resort was about an hour from Boone NC. We had come to camp and do some section hiking of the Appalachian Trail. This campground was nice in many ways - there was a variety of camping available, from different homes/cabins to rent, to a bunkhouse, RV sites in the very back of the facility and tent sites down by the stream.

      We were camping in early June, it was very quiet - in fact, we were the only tent campers! We camped down by the stream in tents and hammocks - close enough to be able to hear the trickle of the water all night long!

      When we first pulled in, we were greeted by a gentleman on a golf cart. He offered to help us shuttle our supplies to the creek. We were car camping, but able to carry our supplies easily on the stone walkways. We walked past the one room cabins (most had 2 sets of bunk beds inside) and down to the creek edge where we set up camp.

      We loved this campsite, due to the close nature to the water, easy accessibility for swimming, flush toilets and hot showers, the lack of poison ivy (at least that we ran into) and remote feeling provided.

      This campground is good for the entire family. My extended family that RV camps could have stayed here with us, as well as other friends and family who prefer warm beds in cabins and houses. We'll surely be back!

      French Broad River Campground - Permanently Closed

      Riverside Urban Camping

      This campground is minutes from Asheville, offering all urban amenities like nearby grocery, Starbucks, etc for last minute errands.

      You share the campground with permanent residents, RV's, and primitive campers. Campsites are relatively flat but a little gravely. Sites are pretty close together but each one has a fire ring and picnic table.

      You can't get any close to the water, being right on the French Broad River. Sling up a hammock for serious relaxation. 

      We enjoyed this campground as a large group and rented out 4 adjacent sites. Dogs are welcome. Firewood can be purchased, but we never saw anyone in the office so I would suggest bringing your own.

      Bathrooms are at the front of the park, a 10-minute walk from the primitive sites. Bathrooms are not spotless, but they do the trick.

      Breaks Interstate Park Campground

      Good Campground Near Stunning Everything Else!

      This park has some nice campsites, which can make your camping experience an awesome time, but that’s not why you should go there. Like a lot of state parks, it’s got the usual wooded picnic table, fire ring, the electrical hook-up thing if you need it (or BYOS - bring your own solar), even nice bathrooms with showers and everything. What it offers in terms of a get away from it all makes it the go to destination for everyone who’s just about had enough of everything average.  

      First of all, where the heck is it?  About 200 miles from anywhere you’ve ever heard of, unless you’re lucky enough to have been born and raised in the Blue Ridge Mountains, or you’ve just nursed along a love of two-lane winding roads, it rewards the traveler who says“let’s take a road trip.” The closest town is Haysi, Virginia, which offers a selection of small regional grocery stores, gas stations and a few restaurants...but not much more. 

      The park sits atop an ancient canyon cut through time by the Russell Fork River some 1000 feet below. The trails wonder through sandstone formations laid down some 250 million years ago when the area was covered by a shallow inland sea. The views as well as the geological significance instills awe in the best sense. 

      The park offers a short scenic drive loop with a dozen or so stops all offering some look into the amazing scope of natural science. But in case that doesn’t inspire your 10-year-old, the mountain bike trails near to the campground will sure take some energy out of them. And in case they want to just go to the outdoor pool, or sit in the well-appointed cabin or guestroom, these are also available at this park offering a widely diverse accommodations for nearly anyone willing to make the drive to get there.  The Russell Fork is also a world class river offering everything from class 2-3 fun to serious Appalachian creekin’ paddling. But don’t tell anyone about this place, because I don’t want anyone else to find out about it.

      Natural Tunnel State Park Campground

      You have to stop and look

      We stopped here at zero dark thirty enroute to Hungry Mother State Park. It was dark, very quiet and sorta creepy. NO ONE was in the primitive camp area which is located off the main campground road , down a gravel road into the trees. This would be an excellent group site because all six tent pads surround this huge fire ring and there’s a nice pavilion with water, power and plenty of picnic tables. I was not interested in getting too comfortable just for a few hours sleep so I aired up my small mattress and crashed in the truck. We were up at the crack of sunlight and exploring. Two, small, nice full service campgrounds with a small store and playground. CCC style hiking trail up around the Natural Tunnel that offers some pretty views. There is a chairlift , gift shop and other attractions , BUT...don’t plan to do anything before 10 am, that’s when everything opens. So we hiked and then got on our way up the road.

    What to do

    Hiking and overlooks: Breaks Interstate Park features several miles of trails ranging from easy walks to challenging terrain. One visitor noted, "We spent 6 nights here, hiked & biked a lot. Off season, so some of the amenities were closed (pool looks awesome). We lucked out in the B loop, as a small trail (Grassy Overlook trail) took us to see the northern lights one evening."

    Fishing spots: Little Oak Campground offers direct lake access for anglers. A camper mentioned, "Great place to camp and fish," while another visitor shared, "With south Holston lake at your finger tips it offers a great area to fish, boat, kayak, paddle board and swim."

    Seasonal activities: Breaks Interstate Park has activities throughout the year with varying schedules. According to a review, "Wonderful park for pretty much everything from zip line to water park, and to some of the most gorgeous trails in the region. The campground was extremely clean including bathrooms and showers that are immaculate."

    Private outdoor settings: Many cabin accommodations offer seclusion and forest views. A visitor at Lonesome Pines Cabins commented, "Just Wow! Amazing views. Private. Our own little spot in the woods. Awesome Sunrise."

    Water access: Cabins near lakes provide recreational opportunities. A camper at Little Oak Campground wrote, "Super easy camp ground to get to with excellent paved roads very close to each of the Tri-Cities. The camp ground is well organized with many amenities including super easy access to the water on all sides."

    Clean facilities: Natural Tunnel State Park Campground maintains well-kept facilities. A visitor stated, "Campground and park are clean, well maintained and up to date. Canoed Clinch River, caved in the park, and took a short guided hike through Stock Creek to backside of tunnel."

    What you should know

    Remote locations: Some cabin sites have limited access to supplies. A Breaks Interstate Park visitor cautioned, "The things one must take into consideration is that you need to bring ANYTHING you might need for groceries and there is limited cell coverage for ATT."

    Reservation timing: Peak season fills up quickly at most parks. At Camp Burson at Hungry Mother State Park, a reviewer noted, "We stayed here overnight on the way to see family. The sites are a good size, very level and easy to access. The bathhouse was immaculate."

Immediately after opening the door, opening the window and opening the canvas window coverings, we could feel the heat pouring out."

    Tips for camping with families

    Kid-friendly sites: Look for cabins with nearby activities. According to a visitor, "There are several campgrounds in this state park, and each one is quite different. The Lover's Leap campground has space for larger RVs and appears to be the newer of the two campgrounds."

    Educational opportunities: Rainbow Campground offers environmental learning experiences. One camper shared, "They stock the creek twice a month with trout, it was stocked 80 ft from my tent 2 days ago."

    Accessible amenities: Some cabins provide specific features for families. A visitor reported, "The sites have the usual amenities like a picnic bench and table, a firepit, and a lantern pole. The bathhouse was very clean and taken care of."

    Tips from RVers

    Road conditions: Mountain access roads can be challenging. A visitor noted, "The roads to this amazing State Park are two lane and twisting. We have a 38' 5er and a CrewCab Dually tow vehicle. We didn't have a lot of issues getting here but it is quite mountainous with a lot of climbs."

    Site dimensions: Some cabin areas have restricted space. An RVer pointed out, "Be careful when choosing a site as some are challenging to get into with larger units. We had a pull through which was big enough for our rig."

    Hookup availability: Full-service sites vary by location. A camper at Bristol-Kingsport KOA mentioned, "They have several large pull through sites, as well as back in smaller sites. They have 50amp service and full hookup sites."
