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.
