Hungry Mother State Park offers multiple cabin accommodations across several campground areas including Camp Burson, Creekside, and Royal Oak. Cabins feature electricity, private bathrooms with showers, and kitchens equipped with microwave, stove, and refrigerator. Most units include heating and air conditioning systems along with fireplaces for cooler months. Accommodation sizes range from economy to three-bedroom layouts, with many structures built during the Civilian Conservation Corps era. The cabins at Lonesome Pines provide more secluded options with private woodland settings. "The cabins are comfortable and have air conditioning. I had a really great time there in June," notes one visitor who stayed at Hungry Mother.

Rustic log cabins and modern frame structures are both available throughout the region. Hungry Mother State Park maintains three distinct types: traditional log exteriors from the CCC era, wooden frame cabins with wooden interiors, and cinderblock structures with tile floors. Most cabins include covered porches, exterior picnic tables, and fire rings. Pet policies vary by location, with many cabins at Hungry Mother allowing dogs and cats. According to one camper, "We stayed in a small cabin for thanksgiving and it was quiet 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 cabins provide beds and basic furniture, guests typically need to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen supplies vary between locations - some offer fully equipped kitchens while others provide only basic cooking equipment. Hungry Mother State Park includes a restaurant on site for those preferring not to cook, though it operates seasonally. The park office and some campgrounds maintain small stores with essential supplies. Breaks Interstate Park Campground offers market facilities and propane refills for extended stays. Advance reservations are strongly recommended, particularly during summer months when the swimming areas and lake activities draw larger crowds.

    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.

    Stony Fork Campground

    Great lowkey spot!

    Great spot, private, with good running water hot showers and flush toilets. Picnic table and fire ring with grate, the creek by our site was so nice and bubbling. Every spot was private and maintained. Absolutely no issues and was worth the $20, easy check in, self check out. Felt very safe here despite it being remote

    Deer Trail Park & Campground

    Great campground! All the comforts

    Nice campground, has variety of accommodations including RV and tent sites and small cabins. Huge game room, heated pool and lots of recreation areas for kids. There is a stream and pond, which allows catch and release. Laundry is small but functional and right by pool deck that has covered tables. No issues with staff…everything smooth for reservations. We stayed here to visit friends close by and we also drove to WV to raft New River, about 90 minutes away.

    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!!

    AWESOME! BEST LOCATION TO THE TRAILS!

    Clean, well maintained campground. Rv sites are large and easy access to back into your site. Fire pits and picnic tables. Restaurant right next door. Cabin and camper rentals very well kept. Trails are literally out your front door. Popular place to stay yet not crowded. Don't be fooled by other places claiming to be right on the trails. This is it!

    Boone KOA

    A Perfect Stay at Boone KOA – Clean, Quiet, and Family-Friendly!

    We recently stayed at the Boone KOA and couldn’t be happier with our experience! The facilities were incredibly clean—bathrooms, showers, and common areas were spotless and well-maintained throughout our stay, which made camping that much more comfortable.

    What really stood out was the peaceful, family-friendly atmosphere. Even though the campground was full with RVs and other campers, it was surprisingly quiet and respectful at night—ideal for families or anyone looking to relax.

    The tent sites had tons of space between them, giving us both privacy and room to spread out, which can be hard to find at other campgrounds. We never felt cramped and had more than enough room for our gear, a picnic area, and space for the kids to run around.

    There’s a lot here that people are looking for when choosing a campground: ✅ Level tent pads ✅ Clean restrooms and showers ✅ Quiet hours that are actually respected ✅ Close proximity to Boone and Blue Ridge Parkway hikes ✅ A friendly staff that makes you feel welcome ✅ Activities for kids and families without being too noisy

    Whether you’re in an RV or pitching a tent, Boone KOA is a perfect base for exploring the High Country. Highly recommend and will definitely return!

    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.

    Riverside Canoe and Campground

    Awesome sites/camping cabins and GREAT river tubing experiences

    The staff here is INCREDIBLY friendly and the check-in building/store is small but mighty, offering items like local honey, local preserves and camping/swimming/tubing accessories.

    We stayed in the camping cabins located on the hill behind the store. It was so quiet & offered a beautiful view of the river from the picnic table. We took part in one of the offered tubing experiences and it was so cool. You can rent a tube to place a cooler inside of so you can tube down the river with beverages and snacks in tow. The end of the rafting experience puts you right there back at the campsite.

    This is a great place.

    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.


Guide to Rosedale

Cabins near Rosedale, Virginia provide woodland retreats during all four seasons. Most cabin rentals in this area of southwest Virginia sit at elevations between 1,800-2,500 feet, offering cooler summer temperatures than surrounding lowlands. The Blue Ridge and Appalachian mountain ranges converge here, creating distinct microclimates that affect camping conditions throughout the year.

What to do

Kayaking on South Holston Lake: The lake at Little Oak Campground offers excellent water-based recreation with paddle craft rentals available seasonally. "After the boat noise dies down the lake is extremely peaceful and placid. I could not recommend this area more for a weekend away," reports one visitor who appreciates the lake's evening tranquility.

Hiking trails for all levels: The mountainous terrain provides hiking options ranging from easy lakeside paths to challenging mountain ascents. At Breaks Interstate Park Campground, "the sunsets are to die for!" according to one reviewer who explored the extensive trail network. The park maintains over 25 miles of hiking trails through diverse terrain.

Trout fishing in mountain streams: Several stocked waterways offer productive fishing opportunities. "They stock the creek twice a month with trout, it was stocked 80 ft from my tent 2 days ago," notes a camper at Rainbow Campground, where Big Tumbling Creek provides accessible fishing near campsites.

What campers like

Elevated camping platforms: Wooden tent platforms at Royal Oak Campground — Hungry Mother State Park provide dry, level surfaces for tent setup. "We camped here over the weekend with our dogs. All campsites are on platforms, which makes it very nice to set up your stuff," mentions one visitor who appreciated this unique camping feature.

Lake activities during summer: The swimming beach and rental options at Hungry Mother Lake create family-friendly recreation. "The lake is beautiful and has boat rentals and a swimming beach! Great place to kayak!" reports a camper who found plenty of water-based activities.

Mountain temperatures: The higher elevation provides natural climate control during summer months. At Blue Bear Mountain Camp, visitors note the comfortable weather: "Not only is the weather so much cooler in the summer there (70-80 in July!), it's just a wonderful, down to earth place to be."

What you should know

Campground accessibility varies: Some mountain roads require careful navigation with larger vehicles. At Stony Fork Campground, a visitor notes: "This National Forest CG is located only 4 miles from I-77 (left from exit 47) and has paved roads and sites. The tree branches along the road in the cg could use a good trim in a couple of places."

Seasonal facility operations: Many campground amenities operate on limited schedules. "During the peak of the summer season, it appears that it would be very popular with a nice swimming beach, paddlecraft rentals, cabin rentals, conference center, ample covered picnic pavilions and both paved and dirt trails," explains a visitor describing off-season conditions.

Mountain weather fluctuations: Temperature variations can occur rapidly, especially at higher elevations. "It rained for 12 hours straight with cold, high winds...so it was a bit chilly, but still enjoyable," reports one camper during a shoulder season stay.
