GuideGreat campsite. Fire pit, picnic table, swimming pool ( not open), miniature golf course, laundromat, bathrooms, showers, dump station, gathering areas for groups, playground, and even a horse area and stalls for horses. Dog friendly. Staff was very helpful and curious.
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.
GuideWhere we were camping had blown up their dump station. Artillery Ridge helped us out. $10. to dump. If we come to camp in Gettysburg, it will be hear.
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.
ScoutThis is are first camping adventure in are new travel trailer. Camp ground is quiet and well maintained. Bath rooms and shower facilities are fantastic.
GuidePrimitive feel with full hookups. I have a 22' trailer, and it fits fine. I hope you like trains. Plenty of them go by.
GuideThis is a great camping spot. The sites aren’t too close together and the hosts are very friendly. The only reason I gave it four stars is because we are near a highway so you can hear cars throughout the night. But the crickets make up for it by being as loud as possible. With the fees, it cost $25 for a non-electric site and with access to showers after a long trek I was happy to pay.
RangerWe stayed at Little Bennett starting on Labor Day Monday and left before the weekend, so it is hard to say how this looks when the campground is full of life. They had quite a few activities for families and a pavilion capable of concerts and such, but there was minimal activity during our stay. My biggest complaint is that the gate code changed and we didn't get any notice--so after a long day and a dinner out near Baltimore (nearly an hour away), I had to call the police to get back to my camper. Otherwise, the campsite was relatively spacious and quiet. The bugs were a little rough. Lots of whitetail running around.
LegendThis quiet campground has plenty of wooded campsites that offer privacy to campers. We were in the electric loop and it can be a bit tight if your rig is larger, and also you need to be prepared to level your rig in several different directions. But all in all, it was a great spot for an overnight day and we even got to check out some of the trails. Very nice park overall.
Cabin accommodations near Martinsburg, West Virginia typically range from rustic to deluxe options set among the rolling foothills of the eastern panhandle. The area sits at elevations between 400-800 feet in the Shenandoah Valley, with distinct seasons affecting cabin availability and amenities. Many cabin rentals provide year-round access, though winter weather can occasionally limit road access to more remote locations.
Hike to waterfall views: Cunningham Falls State Park offers cabin stays with access to multiple trails leading to Maryland's largest cascading waterfall. "Great easy loop hikes around campsite with a decent waterfall depending on when it last rained. Great local get away only 1 hr away from DC," notes one visitor to Houck - Cunningham Falls State Park.
Explore historic sites: Located near several Civil War battlefields, cabin rentals provide easy access to significant historical locations. A camper at Harpers Ferry/Civil War Battlefields KOA explains the prime location: "Close proximity to plenty of historic and tourist places to visit. The Harpers Ferry National Historical Park Visitor Center is literally next door. Harpers Ferry Lower Town and Bolivar Heights are a few minutes by car."
Water recreation: Many cabin rentals sit near rivers and lakes offering summer activities. At Brunswick Family Campground, one guest reported, "Great Potomac river views... C and O Canal towpath cuts right through to allow for some great walks. Close to Harpers Ferry and tubing. Close to the Monocacy River (great for kayaking!)."
River access: Camp Cacapon receives praise for its waterfront location and cabin amenities. "Beautiful, peaceful, immaculate campground- which now offers hot outdoor (enclosed) shower and hot water in the bathrooms. Everything looks new at campground. Can access the river from campground," notes a recent visitor.
Cabin comfort: Many guests appreciate the range of furnishings in cabins. One visitor to Sullivan's Camp Cacapon described their glamping experience: "Each tent had two comfy queen-size beds, a heater, a fan, and two lamps with USB ports (a touch of luxury). The wi-fi in the camp worked very well for us."
Family-friendly amenities: Parents value cabin rentals with activities for children. According to a visitor at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park in Williamsport MD, "This campground has tons of nice cabins and tent sites, all in wooded surroundings. There is a small creek to play in and a nice little hiking trail within the campground. Has a great water park, playground and bounce pad feature."
Seasonal considerations: Many cabin rentals near Martinsburg operate year-round, but amenities vary by season. A visitor to Jellystone Park shared this caution: "We stayed at Jellystone in Hagerstown in June. My daughter was excited about the little water park. Because it was early June, I emailed prior to booking to make sure that the water park would be open during the week and was assured that it would be. When we got there, it was not open."
Transportation limitations: Some cabin locations require planning for access to towns and groceries. Most cabin locations are 15-30 minutes from larger shopping areas in Martinsburg, Winchester, or Hagerstown.
Noise factors: Consider potential noise sources when booking cabins. At Harpers Ferry Campground - River Riders, a camper warned: "The only downside is you are directly next to train tracks but being from the city, this noise doesn't bother my husband or me. The camp ground is part of river riders which offers lazy tubing, white water tubing, zip lining, and great kayaking down the river."
Water activities for kids: Multiple cabin rental locations feature swimming areas. A visitor to Hagerstown / Antietam Battlefield KOA shared, "Love love love this campground. Activities for the kids, diner with a great breakfast selection and subs and pizza for dinner. Very clean facilities. You can get a site along the creek where you can tube or kayak (they rent them out here)!"
Off-season value: Consider booking cabins during shoulder seasons for better rates and fewer crowds. "We had a blast and will be returning next season. Multiple pools and a great little water park. Store was well stocked, they also had a ice-cream / quick food store attached to the pool area and staff super friendly," commented a Jellystone Park visitor.
Pack entertainment: While most cabin campgrounds offer activities, bringing games and toys enhances the experience. One Jellystone visitor noted facilities include "Lots to do for kids of all ages, gaga pit tournaments at night, movies, hay rides, character events tons of stuff."
Full hookup availability: Many cabin rental locations also accommodate RVs with varying levels of service. A visitor to Candy Hill Campground noted, "Easy phone reservation process for next day 1 night stop. Easy check-in, well stocked store, including some RV essentials and parts. Trained staff for guiding into assigned site."
Cabin alternatives: RV campers sometimes use cabins as overflow for group trips. One Happy Hills Campground visitor shared, "We stayed at site A55 pull through, big roomey site with a gentle slope. Quite through the week, the weekend we got the overflow. But with more people it's going to be noisy."
Site selection matters: Research cabin locations within campgrounds carefully. One Little Orleans camper advised, "Sites and roads are gravel, nice newer fire pit and picnic table at each. There is a pool, basketball hoops, and a fully stocked camp store with campground merch, blankets, snacks, toiletries, a lot of rv parts, refrigerated food necessities, pantry items, alcohol, cigarettes, games, fishing gear."
