Best Cabin Camping near Newport News, VA

602 Reviews

Furnished cabins near Newport News offer convenient coastal Virginia accommodations at multiple state parks and private facilities. First Landing State Park Campground in Virginia Beach provides cabin rentals with full utilities, while Fort Eustis Recreation Area maintains five cabins at $75 daily. "There is nice separation between sites. I loved the area but I am a country girl at heart. Nice to be in the heart of the military," noted one visitor about Fort Eustis. Chippokes State Park Campground features cabin lodging in a historic plantation setting with access to hiking trails, fossil hunting, and river activities. Kings Creek at Cheatham Annex Military base also offers cabin options, though these are restricted to military personnel and their families.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Williamsburg Campground (KOA) provides cabin rentals with varying amenity levels, from basic structures to more fully equipped units. Most cabins require advance reservations, particularly during summer months when Virginia Beach and Williamsburg tourism peaks. Chippokes plantation cabins receive positive reviews for their historic setting. One camper shared, "We took a beautiful drive around the plantation. The cabins look great and we'll definitely try those out next time." Some locations like Sun Outdoors Cape Charles (formerly Cherrystone Family Camping Resort) offer cabins alongside their other accommodation types year-round, while others operate seasonally.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Basic kitchenette facilities vary by location, with some offering refrigerators and microwaves while others provide only outdoor cooking options. Fire rings and picnic tables are standard at most cabin sites. Chickahominy Riverfront Park and Kiptopeke State Park cabins offer proximity to water activities, making them popular for fishing enthusiasts. A small Dollar General near Chippokes provides basic supplies, though more substantial grocery shopping requires crossing the Jamestown Ferry to Williamsburg. Visitors staying at military facilities like Kings Creek can access base amenities including the coffee shop at the MWR office for breakfast options.

    North Bayshore Campground

    Excellent family run campground close to Sandbridge beach

    Wonderful spot away from crowds but close to beach. Tent, RV or “ tiny cabin” options. Clean, quiet and pretty. Canal runs around campground that gives you access to Back Bay. Pool and playground. Small store. Super friendly staff. Love it there. 5 minute drive to Sandbridge. 15 to Va Beach strip. Level ground but water collects with heavy rains- to be expected at he beach.

    I think pets are OK. Good showers.

    Chippokes State Park Campground

    Beautiful Plantation

    Awesome things to see here! It’s been a working farm since 1619 with beautiful gardens and livestock. The mansion and outbuildings are pretty cool as well.

    Restrooms were not very clean. Each time I went to the ladies room, the door was propped wide open, and when I went to brush my teeth in the morning the counters were covered in moths and bugs and gnats. Yuck. The showers were ok.

    Ice is $3 and you can grab that from the camp host if it’s after 4pm which is when the store closes. It’s cash only, exactly change. Wood is $6 and there’s a metal box - pay on your honor.

    The beaches were very nice. You’re on the Cobham Bay vs. right on the river and in the dead of the summer, the water is sooo unpleasantly warm. You can wade out at the very least 100 yards and still be less than knee-deep, water still hot. The access to the little beaches are short but moderately steep, especially with lots of beach gear or strollers. It also seems to get washed out so watch your steps.

    The little visitor center near the water access has cold drinks, souvenirs, ice cream, etc. They obv. accept credit cards. You can bring your dog into this area. There’s also a little wildlife info center and restrooms in the same buildings. There are also areas for day use and a good sized parking lot near the water access.

    Straight across the river is Jamestown and Williamsburg, which is cool. I think I was told it’s about four miles across. That being said... those are your closest grocery stores and you have to take the Jamestown Ferry to get there. There is a Dollar General near the park, for odds and ends. Just make sure to stop in advance for what you need because you won’t find much in Surry.

    Stopped at the Surry Seafood Co. for lunch and it was ok. Food and service was mediocre, but there was a nice water view from the deck. Was looking forward to stopping for some shrimp to cook that night from Colonial Seafood market but after walking in, I walked right back out. It was so unclean and didn’t smell fresh at all.

    We took a beautiful drive around the plantation. The cabins look great and we’ll definitely try those out next time. There were corn fields and soybeans for miles. Such a great park due to its history.

    Campsites themselves were pretty nice; not too close together. Our site had the tent pad down away from the picnic table and fire ring which was kind of nice. It was really shady, too. Room for hammocks.

    Each site has a picnic table, fire pit, tent pad, lantern pole. Verizon service was great.

    Kiptopeke State Park Campground

    Awesome Yurt Camping

    This was our first time staying in a yurt at Kiptopeake State Park. We love staying in the yurts at Virginia State Parks because they are always an affordable, easy way to camping without having to set up a tent or spend the extra money for a cabin. The ones at here are $75/night. This one was awesome! It is hidden down a long walkway from the parking area and is very secluded. The one we stayed in, Yurt 4, only has neighbors on one side. It comes with two picnic tables, a water spigot, fire pit, grill, a big deck around the yurt with rocking chairs, and a refreshing breeze coming off the bay. Unfortunately, the way the yurt is situated, none of that breeze gets inside the yurt and it was very hot inside. Especially if staying here in the summer, I would suggest bringing some fans or a portable a/c for a more comfortable nights sleep. The bathrooms are farther away than I would like with little kids. You have to walk through to the tent campground loop to get to them. Even with a couple negative things about it, I think this is the way to stay here at Kiptopeake and I am already planning our next yurt trip here for next year!

    Love this park so much! The beach is amazing. This time we discovered the dog-friendly beach, which was less crowded than the main one. I always like to go out and watch the sunset over the bay, it is magical!

    Isle of Wight Family Campground

    Nice and Very Quiet!

    This is a really nice campground. They have on-site bathrooms/showers as well as laundry. It's mostly RV spots but they also allow tent camping and have a couple cabins available for rent. They have a dog park area, playground and pool. The store has items for purchase and a gathering room. They do potlucks and get togethers often for the campers. The staff is very friendly and super helpful. You can purchase firewood and propane on-site. Each spot has a concrete padded area with a picnic table and fire pit. It is a little ways out of town in any direction bit it's very nice and quiet out here as you're surrounded by woods. They also have a fishing pond and trails on-site. This really is one of the best campgrounds I've ever been to! Definitely recommend.

    American Heritage RV Park

    RV Camping

    It was a nice clean campground but is definitely an RV resort. We stayed in a cabin that had two bunks and a full size bed, with a bathroom, microwave and small dorm size fridge. The pool was relaxing but the park set up reminded me of a typical American trailer park. Not my cup of tea but it was nice.
