6 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several cabin accommodations are available near Baker, West Virginia including Middle Ridge Campground and Riverside Cabins and RV Park. Middle Ridge Campground offers a cabin rental option among its wooded sites with full hookups, while Riverside provides riverside cabin accommodations along the South Branch of the Potomac River. "The owners are so friendly and personable. The sites are actually in a wooded area not just a big field," notes one visitor about Middle Ridge Campground. Most cabins include basic furnishings with varying levels of amenities—some provide private bathrooms with showers while others require guests to use centralized bathhouse facilities.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Riverside Cabins offers accommodations along the water with convenient river access, while Middle Ridge Campground provides a more secluded mountain experience. Several cabin options permit pets with specific policies varying by location. According to one camper, "Nice full hook-up sites in spacious level sites in the woods. Great place to get away. Great value with a gracious host and hostess." Reservations are recommended, especially during summer months when these facilities experience higher demand.
Most cabins come equipped with beds and basic furniture but typically require guests to bring their own linens, towels, and personal items. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between locations—some offer full kitchenettes while others provide only minimal cooking equipment. Visitors should check specific cabin amenities when booking to determine what supplies they need to bring. Both Middle Ridge and Riverside cabins provide electricity, though heating and cooling options differ by location and season. Some campgrounds in the region maintain small camp stores with basic provisions, though comprehensive grocery shopping requires a drive to Romney or Moorefield.
"Stayed in Camp Cabin 41 in middle August 2022. The cabins are basic, but just enough that you need."

Highly recommended.~Robert

"Nice family campground with cabins, tent sights and RV slots. We tent camped and Steve (owner) took us down to the bank of the south branch of the Potomac. Perfect!"
"Usually go camping with a Little Guy teardrop trailer, but with the current state of the country, didn’t feel comfortable with sharing bathroom facilities. We booked Yurt #1. It was fantastic."
"We stayed in a level back-in site(#39) with picnic table on a concrete patio, Adirondack chairs under a pergola on a second concrete patio, clean gravel surface, and fire pit."

"The picnic table and fire pit at each campsite was fantastic, and Pam was great and very helpful."
"The site is located near a highway, so getting a spot in the back is ideal. It is minutes from the Shenandoah State Park and multiple canoeing and tubing companies."
"had to stay here for a climbing trip in the offseason when other sites in the park were closed. definitely glamping with people all around. seems like a fun time for a family."
"beautiful location, nice campground. not a lot of woods but lots to do including jumping pillows, paddle boats, swimming. the cabins are spacious and nice though you have to bring your own linens. the"

"This campground has incredibly clean bathroom and shower facilities along with an immaculate site."
"This campsite is right off of the highway (not super busy at night)…if that is something you think will bother you, don't stay there. That being said, we loved it. It is quiet and clean."

TravelerLong drive thru spots, lots of space between campsites. Really inexpensive laundry ($1 to wash $1 to dry) $5 showers for 10 minutes. Nice bathrooms. Dry camping at its finest. Close drive to Grand caverns and Luray caverns.
GuideLovely spot to camp as the temps drop. $30/night, first-come. Restrooms, fire pits, picnic tables, and mostly flat spots.
GuideGreat 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.
TravelerLovely little campground in a beautiful forest, with a great waterfall hike walkable to the campground. I stayed in Garrett in October and it was still packed full of people, which for me was nice because I like feeling like I'm in a community of campers. But the sites were super close together, basically right now the main drag, not very private, especially without leaf cover, and a little smaller than I expected. But well kept, in more forest than I was expecting, and I enjoyed myself. The canyon trail was mobbed, but it was a stunning weekend so that's not surprising. Bathrooms in the offseason could have used a bit more attention, but they weren't too bad.
GuideI fear that yurt glamping may have ruined me against tent camping again! This was absolutely lovely. We stayed in the painted horse yurt. Cozy, comfy, lots of amenities. The only downside here is the sulfur odor the water in the bathroom has, but it is very good for your skin at least! I’d stay here again for sure.
ScoutStayed here for 2 weekday nights in mid-October, late season. Nice & quiet. Warm showers, clean bathrooms, nice staff.
There was some vehicle activity with vehicles as they were still running river trips.
Very pleasant.
GuideQuite the dump and almost no one around to talk to. There is a bathroom with running water, flushing toilets, and a shower. But it is cramped and not attractive. Most of the sites are right underneath the freeway, and very noisy. Primitive sites away from the road noise are nothing more than a wide area of the dirt road.
ScoutWas looking for a last-minute getaway on a busy weekend, and they seemed the best option. I've always associated private campgrounds with crowding and sites on top of each other. I couldn't have been more wrong about The Cove. There is more wooded space between sites than in many National Parks.
Some sections are best accessed via 4WD, which I think is a great way to keep things from getting too crowded.
Such a huge diversity of types of sites, from lakeside to wooded, to open fields. They have something for everyone.
The bathrooms are ok. Other than the shower area and the reception, most toilets are pit toilets. If you want to be walking distance to showers, make sure to book sites near them. For most sites, it's going to be a hike or a drive.
And on top of that, they have a beach for the kids, boat rentals, and a range.
This was our first visit, but we will definitely be coming back.
ScoutFirst camping trip in VA and honestly the only time we’ll come here. Noisy, plots are on the main road people speed down, loud music at all times. Plus the bathroom was great, taken care of but this isn’t camping. Great if you need people around you.
