Lovely spot to camp as the temps drop. $30/night, first-come. Restrooms, fire pits, picnic tables, and mostly flat spots.
Best Cabin Camping in Virginia
Virginia state parks offer several cabin campground options with varying amenities and settings. Shenandoah River State Park provides cabins with full electric hookups, drinking water, and fire rings in a forested environment near water access points. First Landing State Park Campground features cabin rentals with electric and water hookups, showers, and modern restroom facilities. "This campground is awesome! It takes us back to a time when camping was camping without all the crazy commercialization that has overtaken so many campgrounds today," notes one review about the Rivers Edge experience.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Pocahontas State Park offers year-round cabin accommodations with access to electric hookups, showers, and toilet facilities. At Hungry Mother State Park, pet-friendly cabins provide options for travelers with animals, though specific pet policies vary by location. Big Meadows in Shenandoah National Park operates seasonally from May to November, while Kiptopeke State Park maintains cabin availability throughout the year. A visitor mentioned, "We stayed in one of the cabins after the high season. Comfortable and cozy, we really enjoyed our morning walks along the trails and lake."
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary widely—some locations like Holiday Trav-L-Park and Williams Riverside Cabin provide basic cooking equipment, while others offer only outdoor fire pits. On-site markets exist at several locations including Big Meadows, First Landing, and Pocahontas State Park, though selection is typically limited to essentials. Depending on cabin location, proximity to larger grocery stores may require advance planning. Firewood is available for purchase at most cabin campgrounds, often through camp stores or honor-system boxes.

Horrible!! Don't waist your money!!
DO NOT WAIST YOUR MONEY! THIS IS A SCAM!! Our 3 campsites flooded with 6 inches of water within an hour of arriving before high tide. Very difficult to get ahold of staff due to limited hours of business. I have requested a refund for failure to render services due to unusable campsites. I have left several voicemails and sent emails with attached pictures. Management has been avoiding my phone calls, will not call back. Very unprofessional. I received one call from"management" at 7:20 pm to tell me that he received a message to call me, but he hasn't looked into why he needs to call me and he will call back the next day. I never heard back from him and that was a week ago. I have followed up daily with phone calls without a return phone call. My family makes several camping trips through the year, will never return here.

Great little campground
Great spot! Was first-come first-serve - we got there mid-afternoon on a Monday and it'd filled up by about 5pm. Clean & well-stocked facilities. All the sites are pretty close together/little seclusion, but those across from us (13) probably offered the most seclusion in the upper loop there. Firewood from the camp store (3rd party - not NPS) was $10/bundle, which was kind of expensive - will probably bring my own treated firewood next time. Very pretty sunset/sunrise. Good grassy/gravel spots for tenting.

Pleasant Respite
Great campground! Facilities were well-stocked and clean. Stayed at a walk-in site (005), which was nice because it's a very short walk from the reserved parking spot and it's on the outside of the ring so comparatively secluded. All traffic entering the campground passes by it, which might be annoying to some (esp. during peak season I'd bet) but we didn't find it disturbing. The site also has its own bear box (adjacent sites 006 & 007 have to share one). One note - the site map shows a separate trail going right from the parking spot to the site, but you actually have to walk through site 006 to get to it. Also, we learned that the camp store is not run by the NPS, and the kid who was running the store does not provide great service, to say the least; he was very rude when there was a credit card snafu, and made us go down to the wayside store to get our refund even though he was the one who double-charged us. Don't blame NPS though! Also, firewood is kind of expensive ($10/bundle); consider bringing your own treated/kiln-dried from a nearby store before entering the park!

Kiptopeke State Park Campground
Camping in high winds
This campground was very enjoyable. I spent a lot of time at the fishing pier, learning to ID birds I had never identified before. Brown pelicans were everywhere near the sunken ships. I also talked to the Hawkwatch people for a bit.
My campsite was far enough from the bathroom I couldn't hear the door slam, but since I was the only one in the F loop, that wouldn't have mattered. Since the loop was so empty, it was an absolute pleasure.
Had the campground been full, I would have felt too close to the people in tents in the sites next to me.
One great thing was that there weren't tent pads so we didn't have to worry about how to fit two tents on to one tent pad.
