Best Cabin Camping near Barboursville, WV

Furnished cabins dot the landscape near Barboursville, with notable options at Huntington / Fox Fire KOA and Beech Fork State Park. These accommodations typically include electricity, heating, and varying levels of kitchen facilities from basic countertops to full cooking setups. Cabins at Fox Fire KOA offer private patios with fire pits and gas grills, while those at Beech Fork State Park are situated closer to recreational water activities. According to one visitor, "The cabin we stayed in at Fox Fire KOA had a deck that overlooked the pond and the campground, which was nice." Most cabins include basic furniture such as beds, tables, and seating areas, though amenities vary significantly between locations.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Fox Fire KOA maintains year-round cabin rental options, while other properties like Pappy's Creekside Camp operate on seasonal schedules. Pet policies differ substantially between properties - Huntington / Fox Fire KOA and Robert Newlon Airpark welcome pets in select cabins, while other locations maintain strict no-pet policies. A recent review noted, "We rented a cabin on a cute little pond. It was a nice setting and it was a little out of the way from the main part of the campground." Reservations are particularly important during summer months when family-sized cabins fill quickly, especially at locations like Iron Ridge - Lake Vesuvius and Ole Henry's Camping retreat.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Cooking facilities vary widely - some locations like Fox Fire KOA provide outdoor grills, while others offer indoor kitchenettes with basic cookware. Many properties maintain on-site camp stores selling essential items and firewood. As described in feedback on The Dyrt, "The office/store was very clean and had practical items like batteries, firestarter, snacks and ice cream for the kiddos." Visitors staying at cabins near Interstate 64 should be prepared for highway noise, particularly at properties like Huntington KOA where traffic sounds are audible through the night. Cell service varies by location, with stronger signals typically available at campgrounds closer to Barboursville and weaker connections at more remote cabin sites.

    Huntington / Fox Fire KOA

    Party Central

    We enjoyed our stay at Huntington/Fox Fire KOA! This is a holiday KOA that offers more amenities for vacationers. It has very close proximity to I-64 in West Virginia, and you can hear the traffic pretty clearly.

    The staff is wonderful, they obviously care very much about their jobs and we enjoyed talking to them. They keep the property very clean which is saying a lot because it’s a very busy park. Each day we watched the park nearly empty and by sundown it was mostly full again. On the weekends it was full to capacity, and it’s occupants were out enjoying their time!

    There is: great cellular for TMobile and AT&T, laundry, dog walk area, storage, cabins, a store, a swimming pond, small beach area, and some sites have fire pits. The picnic tables were pretty dated.

    The hookups are a little strange. You share pedestals in many of the sites. And the arrangement is a little strange but it works.

    Huntington / Fox Fire KOA

    This KOA is a Keeper

    This is a very cozy park tucked in between US60 and I64. We are in site 14 and its not quite level, but they were generous with gravel so the drainage is good! No parking in puddles!The staff is great, friendly, upbeat. The gentleman who led us to the site helped us get positioned, and squared up.The site has a patio, bench, picnic table, fire pit, and a huge gas grill. There is more privacy than usual at KOA, pine trees between sites.Well be back! You do have to watch for the entrance, there is a big KOA sign but its not aligned with the actual turn, so be careful.

    Moxley Branch Campground — Beech Fork State Park

    Large camping sites, lots to do!

    We camped for two nights midweek at Beech Fork. We chose it because the campsites are on a lovely lake. It was a good choice! The campsites are large, each with a fire pit and picnic table. Many are shaded. There are lots of things to do in addition to ranger-led activities. Rental kayaks and paddle boats are available, and a swimming pool and exercise course as well. If you choose a site on the water, ducks may well waddle into your camp looking for a handout. We had a delightful time!

    KOA

    We stayed for an overnight. Site was NOT very level. On gravel. Picnic tables and fire ring. Didn't appreciate the grill in the next site (thought it was too close to us). We were in Site #8. Not sure what all is around here. Easy off and on to I-64 - far enough from highway so you don't hear it.

    Carter Caves State Resort Park Campground

    Enjoyed our stay

    Park was nice, clean and has friendly staff. We liked that we could walk to the bathrooms and not have to drive there. We stayed at site 100 and really enjoyed the shade trees. Showers are small but they work and there are only 3 stalls of toilets and 3 showers ( I believe) in the women’s side- unsure of men’s. Plenty to do, including a playground, pool, miniature golf, bike riding, horse back riding, hiking, etc. All sites have a picnic table and a grate over the fire pit. Water wells are easily accessible and they have washers and dryers as well. Check-in location was a bit confusing but eventually figured it out.

    Moxley Branch Campground — Beech Fork State Park

    Looking for a great getaway with lots of stuff to do?

    Go to Beech Fork! I’ve been camping here with my family for close to ten years now and we always have a blast. I’ve stayed in primitive sites and RV sites and you can’t really go wrong with either (my review will be 4 stars until I check out the cabins)! Whether you’re looking to spend some time on the lake, fish, hike, bike, or even learn a thing or two about West Virginia history, Beech Fork will typically have you covered. The park stays clean and the staff are pretty good people as well!

    Pappy's Creekside Camp

    Best campground around

    We have been camping at Pappys for 2 yrs now!  We always have a great time, the folks out there are so nice and friendly it literally feels like a family reunion everytime!! We ride with the WV Outlaws and they take you on awesome trail and creek rides!! Kids love the creeks on hot days they have so much fun!! 

    I definitely would recommend Pappy’s to everyone looking for an awesome camping / cabin experience and WV Outlaws for Awesome trail riding.

    Pappy's Creekside Camp

    Absolute Terrible Experience

    I would give it a zero if possible. The cabin we stayed in was absolutely filthy-dirt and dead bugs on the floor, coffee pot was nasty, extremely small counter was dirty, no access to running water(no even a sink in the bathhouse) and I could go on but I think you get the point. The bathhouse looked like a shed and was also dirty. Were told there were groups going out every weekend, all day long and also night riding. Trails are not marked so you really can't go out on your own. We paid for 3 nights, but only stayed for 2. And of course, we were never offered a refund or partial refund. Like Share

    Iron Ridge - Lake Vesuvius

    Will return

    Great campground with super easy access to the trail and lake. The sites are spread apart enough so you aren’t right beside someone - and shaded. Well prepared sites with a clearing, fire ring, and a picnic table. Nice host and rangers too! Bathrooms were meh: the walls need cleaned or painted, no where to put your things, and there was no hand soap - no biggie though.

What campers like

Lakeside accommodations: Many cabins feature water views with direct lake access.
