Crabtree Falls Campground offers cabin rentals with basic furnishings, while Montebello Resort features both lakeside and mountain view accommodations. Most cabins include electricity and beds with some providing kitchen facilities with refrigerators and stovetops. "I stayed in the mountain view cabin lower level with our two dogs.

Walnut Hills Campground & RV Park maintains cabin options with more extensive amenities including heating and air conditioning systems.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Natural Bridge-Lexington KOA provides traditional KOA-style cabins with varying amenities. One camper shared, "Normally we camp with our tent, but we decided to make the trip to check out Natural Bridge State Park at the end of December. Never quite sure what the weather is like we were able to get a one room camping cabin. It was perfect for our family of three plus two dogs." Stoney Creek Resort and Love Ridge Mountain Lodging offer pet-friendly cabin options. Reservations are strongly recommended, particularly during summer months and fall foliage season when occupancy rates peak. Many locations require minimum stays of two nights during weekends.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries.

TravelerMisty Mountain Camp Resort
Location is wonderful, however campground is lacking in every area
Very disappointed in our recent four-night stay at Misty Mountain Campground this October.
Prior to our arrival, both my husband and I made numerous attempts to verify our site and reservation details. My husband called for five consecutive days and left messages each time, and I sent an email; however, we received no response.
When we arrived, the check-in process was extremely frustrating. I was initially told we had no reservation. After explaining that I was part of a wedding group, had already paid, and had been assigned a site number, the registration staff member continued to insist the reservation could not be found. After being ignored for 10 minutes and having to explain the situation again, she located our booking, but assigned us to the wrong site.
Additionally, the site and facilities fell far below expectations for an "RV Resort":
- Site Condition: The campsite was overcrowded, overgrown, and in poor condition.
- Facility Cleanliness: The restrooms were dirty, with grime on the doors, and clearly lacked regular cleaning (the same debris remained on the floor for days).
- Amenities: We were unable to purchase propane as none was available. Furthermore, we were refused change for the laundry facilities under the claim that they were closing for renovations, despite the door remaining open with no work taking place.
Overall, the lack of communication, poor customer service, and substandard conditions made for a very negative experience. I hope they deal with their issues because it is a lovely area.

Used parking spot for tent site
No other available sites, so used tent site 35 parking spot to stay in campervan. Worked fine. Nice campground. Saw at least 10 deer along sides of road from entrance to campsite.

Beautiful stop along Skyline Drive
Stopped here on my trip from Cherokee NC to Front Royal VA on the Blue ridge parkway and skyline drive. As in most NPS campgrounds, there are no hookups but the campground was nice and the weather was great. No AC needed.

Peaks Of Otter Campground — Blue Ridge Parkway
Good for a night stop along the Parkway
The campground is nice but needs a little upkeep. It is apparent from the algae and moss on the buildings that it's a very damp area. The restroom facilities were working but needed touched up All in all it was ok for a nights stay and the lake and sharp top mountain were incredible despite the little issues I wouldn't hesitate to come back.

Narrow Outdoors
Cool campground in a remote part of the Blue Ridge Mountains. As such, very little phone service and lots of narrow, winding roads. Plenty of hikes and several interesting little towns within 30 minutes. I thought it was an interesting mix! We had a power outage during our visit, which also eliminates water access at this site. I was grateful to have an inverter to keep us online since there is zero AT&T service. I had a pull-through site and I'm not certain that I could have made the exit if the campers ahead of me didn't leave.
Guide to Vesuvius
Cabin camping near Vesuvius, Virginia offers year-round options across multiple price points and comfort levels. Located in the Blue Ridge Mountains at elevations ranging from 950 to 1,400 feet, the area experiences distinct seasonal changes with fall foliage peaking in mid-October. Winter cabin stays often include temperature fluctuations from 25°F to 45°F, requiring appropriate heating systems.
What to do
Waterfall hiking: 1-mile access at Crabtree Falls Campground: "This is very close to the Blue Ridge Parkway and close to Charlottesville and Staunton. The falls are a great hike and there are lots of services nearby. A great Parkway stop," notes Anna R. The trailhead starts just one mile from the campground entrance.
Fishing and paddling: Free equipment rental at Montebello Resort: "The lake in the back has bass and crappie. Suitable for paddle boats or kayak," mentions Michelle W. The resort provides complimentary paddle boats and kayaks for guests, with fishing requiring no state license at their stocked trout pond.
Winter exploration: Off-season accessibility at cabins near Natural Bridge State Park: "Lots of great hiking around. Right off the Blue Ridge Parkway. Country store across the street has everything you need," comments Katie. Many cabins remain open year-round, allowing access to winter-accessible Blue Ridge Parkway sections.
What campers like
Private woodland settings: Many sites feature creek-side locations with natural sound barriers. "Sites are right on the river, we had a walk to which gave us some extra privacy. Beautiful area for hiking, lots leading off of the AT. Campground hosts are very friendly," reports Heather L.
Practical cabin layouts: Misty Mountain Camp Resort cabins include thoughtful design elements. "The sites along the upper loop are close together, but folks keep to themselves so it felt private. I can't wait to snag a cabin or water front tent site on our next visit," notes Sarah G. Most cabin interiors include small refrigerators and basic cooking equipment.
Family-friendly amenities: Stoney Creek Resort includes recreation options within walking distance of cabins. "Clean restrooms and super friendly staff. Camp store prices were reasonably priced compared to most campgrounds," says Summer M. Stoney Creek's cabins include proximity to a swimming lake and fishing pond.
What you should know
Cell service limitations: Service varies significantly between cabin locations. "There is zero cell service at the campground. To get decent service it's a bit of a drive. Also FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON THE CAMPGROUND WEBSITE. VA56 is a very windy road not recommended for pulling a camper through. Use the blue ridge parkway," advises Quinn G.
Off-season limitations: Winter cabin stays may have reduced amenities. "It was still off season when we stayed and it was very quiet. The staff was extremely friendly and the campground was super clean!" reports Susan P. Many locations close their pools and outdoor activities from November through March.
Cabin spacing variations: Shenandoah Valley Campground has diverse cabin layouts. "Really nice set up clean campground. The people are nice and the so are the views," notes John D. Site spacing ranges from private woodland settings to more closely situated cabin clusters.
Tips for camping with families
Activities for rainy days: Pack board games and indoor activities. "We stayed in the mountain view cabin lower level with our two dogs. The upstairs neighbors were probably as quiet as they could be but you could still hear them walking around and using the plumbing," explains Adrian K. Cabin walls can be thin, so quiet indoor activities work best.
Kid-friendly cabin selection: Lynchburg / Blue Ridge Parkway KOA offers family-oriented options. "They had activities every day for the kids. As well as lots of unstructured activities. For example, they had a foosball table and a jumping pad. But they also had a 'color a sack' thing where the kids got a KOA canvas tote and access to fabric markers," shares Michael L.
Wildlife opportunities: Morning and evening wildlife viewing possible from many cabins. "Lots of good trails nearby and a small one around the lake. I plan to return in the fall," says Michelle W. Most properties feature resident wildlife like rabbits, deer, and various bird species.
Tips from RVers
Multi-seasonal cabin options: Walnut Hills Campground & RV Park offers alternatives when RV camping isn't practical. "Booking was easy. Arrived after hours, staying one night. Our tag was waiting for us with a map to our RV spot with E/W by the creek and pond. It was off season, so plenty of spots and privacy," reports DK S. Many RVers switch to cabin rentals during winter months.
Limited supply considerations: Cabin rentals often book 2-3 months in advance for peak season. "Normally we camp with our tent, but we decided to make the trip to check out Natural Bridge State Park at the end of December. Never quite sure what the weather is like we were able to get a one room camping cabin," notes one visitor. Off-season dates offer more availability with 1-2 week advance booking possible.
