Cabins at Babcock feature comfortable double beds, well-stocked kitchens, and fireplaces for heat. "Our cabin was pet friendly, clean, well stocked kitchen, comfortable double beds, firewood, it was excellent," noted one visitor about their experience at Babcock State Park. Many cabins include picnic tables and fire rings outside, allowing guests to enjoy meals outdoors while still having indoor sleeping accommodations.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Rifrafters Campground provides basic camper cabins with bunk beds, while Babcock State Park offers more substantial vacation cabins with multiple bedrooms and full bathrooms. Most cabin rentals in the area require reservations, especially during peak summer months and fall foliage season.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities range from fully equipped kitchens at vacation cabins to minimal setups in more rustic accommodations. The "Nut House" at Tawney Farm offers electricity and beds but no running water or bathroom facilities, while larger cabins at places like Babcock State Park provide full kitchens with necessary cookware. Several campgrounds maintain small stores where guests can purchase forgotten items, ice, and basic supplies. Food Lion grocery stores are available in nearby towns for more substantial shopping needs, typically within a 15-20 minute drive of most cabin locations.

It's a beautiful, clean place with incredible staff
This review is for the primitive boondockers like myself. It's a very established campground, full amenities, restaurant, gift shop, the works. I thought we would find a primitive campground with much more privacy based on the details and reviews of the grounds. The primitive camping spots are all in view of each other down a long stretch of dirt road. They're very clean and come with trash cans at each sight, which was nice. We were the only tent campers so it was enjoyable, but I don't know if I would have had the same experience if there were a lot of campers. I think that's a very important and left out detail about this location for the people who enjoy a more private environment. I'm still very happy with my stay, and the staff is absolutely WONDERFUL. They're all so kind and went out of their way to provide us with information when we had questions they didn't know the answer to, everyone who works there is a delight. 25$ a night felt a little much to sleep in our tent, but the showers, clean bathrooms, and care put into the property made it worth it. Waterfalls nearby as well. I'd stay again.

One of the best stays near New River!
This campground provides an off the main road and in the woods experience. Tents have grassy spots and elevated platforms overlooking the area. There are several camper/RV spots along with cabins of various sizes. A calm creek runs through the property and within minutes of the New River National Park visitor center, downtown Fayetteville, and other adventure businesses.

Almost Heaven
Bathrooms clean and spacious enough. Campsites close enough to access what water, trash, and other needs with still allowing for some privacy. The front has laundry, ice, firewood and tends to most needs. Dark skies and deer wandering around make for a peaceful and nice experience overall.

Rifrafters Campground
Homey feel, spotless grounds, and top-notch hospitality!
We had a wonderful stay at Rifrafters! The campground is remarkably clean, well-organized, and has a truly welcoming, homey feel. The dog park is large, open, and was a great spot for our dogs to run around and burn off some energy.What really sets this place apart is the incredible owners. They are as friendly, accessible, and easygoing as they come. They guided us into our spot perfectly on the first attempt, constantly checked in to ensure we were comfortable, and even recommended a great local mechanic when our truck needed service. You can really tell they care about their guests. We will definitely be staying here again next time we're in the area!

Nice Place
Very low key place. Self check-in. Bath house is old but clean, plenty of hot water. Washing machine and dryer available. Free coffee every morning.

Great Campground, TERRIBLE owners.
The owners of this campground are among the rudest people we have ever come across in the camping world.
On our first attempt at reserving a site, we reserved the site three months in advance. When we arrived, they moved us to a different spot to accommodate 'other campers' with zero explanation. When we tried to explain we reserved that site in advance and specifically, the older bald guy, became unprofessionally furious and threatened to kick us off the grounds without a refund. The second year we tried to stay there,we again, reserved a specific site AND paid the lock-in fee, thinking, surely, this will not happen again. Unfortunately, the campground is rather beautiful, so we simply tried to fully abide by THEIR OWN rules the second time to avoid unnecessary conflict.
Nope. When we arrived, they moved us AGAIN to a terrible site. Bottomline, these people are power-trippers. They're argumentative, they're rude, they're short, and if you even try to ask about the reservation process, they will just kick you off the property with no refund and no campsite.
And again, they do not calmy explain what they're doing or why. They just do it...and if you question them, they will escalate the situation to an incredulous level of arguing.
This place could be incredible, but the owners have completely ruined it. We will never be trying to stay here again, and will pass it along to anyone trying to stay in that area.

Don’t take the short trip in
Don’t follow the shortest trip using GPS it’ll take you on an old goat path to get here. But back to the campground it’s a really good location. Very very rural out in the middle of nowhere campsites are spaced. Adequately with plenty of shade several small playgrounds in each loop for the kids very quiet family oriented place. This place is so far out in the middle of nowhere they have to pipe the sunshine in.

What campers like
Modern cabin amenities: The Outpost at New River Gorge impresses guests with its facilities. "The bathrooms were incredible, and the shower was so good that it was almost annoying (I'm jealous and want it at home now too)," one camper observed. Their lodge provides reliable WiFi for guests needing connectivity.
Peaceful seclusion: At Rays Campground, rustic cabins offer quiet retreats from busy tourist areas. "We had an amazing overnight stay at Rays Campground. The site we had, site 10, was large and secluded," noted Tyler H. The cabins here have minimal amenities but maximize privacy.
Family-friendly environment: Mountain Lake Campground offers activities beyond standard cabin amenities. "Weekend activities for the kids, putt putt, a pool, several swingset/play areas," Jessica H. mentioned. Their family cabins accommodate multiple sleeping arrangements.
What you should know
Cabin preparation checklist: Most basic cabins require guests to bring bedding, pillows, cooking supplies, and toiletries. At Rifrafters Campground, "Cabin 5 offered a few wooden bunkbeds, one table, four chairs, one door and two windows...that's all you get in a camper cabin. Other cabins offer different bed options. No water or restroom/showers in the Cabins."
Seasonal considerations: Cabins without climate control can develop moisture issues. "Do not anticipate spotless cabins or odor free, comfortable mattress...without heat or AC things tend to get musty," noted one Rifrafters visitor. Fall and winter visitors should verify heating options before booking.
Reservation requirements: Many cabins book months in advance for peak seasons. "We stayed in one of the cabins for Christmas. We were one of a handful of visitors staying at that time of year," shared a visitor at Adventures on the Gorge, showing off-season availability.
Tips for camping with families
Playground proximity: Select cabin locations near recreation areas for convenience. At Mountain Lake Campground, Nick C. appreciated that "We took site 269 for the proximity to one of the little playgrounds and easy walk to bathrooms. We had a great time and it was easy to let our 3 year old play while we setup."
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Tawney Farm cabins offer unique farm experiences. "James and Susan brought the flock down for a closer look and encouraged some young guests to pet them," creating memorable experiences for children staying at their "Nut House" cabin.
Swimming options: Multiple cabin locations offer water access. Katie J. from Mountain Lake Campground noted, "Our first time camping with our four year old little boy! We only stayed two nights, but we had a great time. The lake swimming was fun (something I am not used to since I am from Florida)."
Tips from RVers
Electrical considerations: Cabins with electrical hookups may have limitations. At Mountain Lake Campground, Fred R. reported, "A/C power was an issue. 1 camper had 30 amp breaker blow 2 days in a row and my 50 amp ran A.C. units fan but didn't cool all day." Guests should verify power capacity for any high-draw appliances.
Road access challenges: Some cabin areas have difficult approaches. "The road to 4 was horrendous to be pulling a camper. Had to use 4Low to creep out. It should be paved, no exceptions for that hill," warned Fred R. about Mountain Lake Campground, highlighting the importance of checking road conditions.
