Pet-friendly cabins can be found at multiple locations, though specific policies vary by campground.

LegendThis 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.
GuideBooked 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!!
GuideI’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.
RangerThe 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.
LegendThis is our 2nd time staying here for a quick overnight stay. I would definitely like to stay here longer! Even though it's very close to the interstate, it was very quiet. We had a full hook up site, relatively level. It had a picnic table and fire ring. Shower rooms, laundry room, and store, as well as snack shop! The camp hosts were very kind and friendly. Lots of walking around we area. We were in site B1 46 dollars a night.
GuideThe views are spectacular, Camping with electric, water and showers was just a bonus to all the beauty around us and pet friendly. Great people all around and we felt so welcomed.
LegendWe 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.
LegendThis 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.
Camping cabins near Linden, Virginia sit within the Appalachian Mountain region, where elevations range between 1,000-4,000 feet and the climate features distinct seasonal changes. Winter temperatures often drop below freezing, while summer days typically reach 80-90°F with cooler evenings. Cabin camping in this area spans across several state parks and private campgrounds, with most facilities maintaining year-round operations despite seasonal closure of certain amenities.
Chairlift rides to Natural Tunnel: The chairlift at Natural Tunnel State Park Campground operates primarily on weekends and provides an alternative to hiking down to the tunnel. "We loved the new cabin we rented in this beautiful park. A hiking trail ran behind the cabins, past the campground (also new) to the tunnel. It is a great hike and even better when you use the ski lift going up," notes a visitor.
Fishing at stocked ponds: Several campgrounds maintain fishing areas for guests. At Baileyton KOA Holiday, campers can access well-maintained fishing areas. The campground features "Beautiful green space and dog walk area. Enjoy the hiking," according to one visitor who appreciated the outdoor recreational options.
Educational programs: Nature-focused learning opportunities exist throughout the region. "This park has so many things to do and is fun for all ages. They have campgrounds, cabins and Yurts. There are nice hiking trails, chairlift to view the tunnel, picnic areas, swimming pool and so much more. They have concerts and lots of outdoor activities during different times of the year," reports a Natural Tunnel State Park visitor.
Canoeing the Clinch River: Water activities provide another recreational option. "We drove 2 hours to canoe the Clinch River which was great fun and we got to see a lot of the area," shares one cabin camper who used Natural Tunnel State Park as their base camp.

Limited supplies nearby: Remote locations mean planning ahead for groceries and essentials. One Breaks Interstate Park visitor advises, "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."
Primitive camping options: For those seeking a more rustic experience, Natural Tunnel State Park Primitive Camping offers basic sites. "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," explains a camper who stayed in this section.
Seasonal chairlift operations: Access to certain areas changes seasonally. "The one thing I was really looking forward to (the chairlift) is only open on weekends," notes a visitor who planned around this schedule limitation.
Bear safety requirements: Bears are active in the region, requiring proper food storage. "They have campgrounds, cabins and Yurts," mentions a Natural Tunnel visitor who also noted that bear boxes are provided at primitive sites.

Weekend activity scheduling: Family-oriented events typically occur on weekends. Baileyton KOA Holiday "has activities on the weekends," according to a visitor who appreciated the organized programming.
Site leveling challenges: Prepare for uneven terrain at some campgrounds. At Riverside Campground and Cabins, campers with RVs should bring leveling blocks as sites are situated along riverside terrain.
Full hookup availability: Many campgrounds offer complete utility connections. "We stayed in a pull through site and it was not very level (we had planned to not even unhook from the truck but had too bc of this)," notes one Baileyton KOA Holiday visitor, highlighting the importance of checking site specifications.
Big rig accessibility: Not all areas accommodate larger vehicles. "They have several large pull through sites, as well as back in smaller sites. They have 50amp service and full hookup sites," explains a Bristol-Kingsport KOA camper, providing helpful information for those with larger rigs.
Variable cell service: Internet connectivity fluctuates throughout the region. "Cellular reception is decent for TMobile and AT&T," shares a camper from Bristol-Kingsport KOA, though coverage varies significantly by specific location and carrier.
