What you should know
Limited cell service: Riverside Campground — Watoga State Park has minimal connectivity. "Note: It's in a valley, so there's no cell service. The wash houses have wi-fi, but it's not great and you have to be either in the building or sitting at the bench outside to use it."
Tunnel clearance restrictions: Access to some cabin areas requires navigating through narrow passages. At Greenbrier State Forest, "Shortly after turning onto Harts Run Rd there is a small, narrow one-way-only tunnel that you must go through to enter the State Forest. There is a misleading sign indicating that the tunnel is only 9'2" tall, which is wrong."

Tips from RVers
Site leveling challenges: Little Beaver State Park Campground requires preparation for uneven terrain. "Many sites looked like it may take some work to get level. We were in site 20 with a 23 ft TT and got level fairly easily but a longer rig may have difficulty in that site."
Limited hookup options: Most cabin-focused parks offer basic RV accommodations. At Greenbrier State Forest, sites have "Electric-only hookups, and no dump station on site. Water is available a short distance from the campsites."
Narrow access roads: Several parks present challenges for larger vehicles. "Roadways are very narrow" at Babcock State Park, while Greenbrier State Forest access involves "driving 3 miles off I-64 on State 60/14, Harts Run Rd, a winding and narrow two-lane road, which might be a challenge for larger RV trailers and motorhomes."
Dump station locations: Not all parks with cabins provide on-site waste disposal. "Only downside for longer term stays is no sewer hookup, but they do have a very convenient dump spot at entry," notes a visitor to Little Beaver State Park.
