3 campgrounds with availability next weekend
Several cabin campgrounds near Spencer, West Virginia provide accommodations with various comfort levels. River Run Campground at North Bend State Park offers cabins along the North Fork of the Hughes River with wheelchair-accessible options, wraparound decks, and proximity to hiking trails. Mountwood Park Family Campground has small cabin rentals situated on the hilltop area with electric service, though bathroom facilities require a walk to the central shower house. Cabins typically include beds, air conditioning, and basic furniture. Statts Mills Campground provides cabin options with electric hookups and picnic tables outside each unit. "The cabin smelled like mold," noted one visitor about the camper cabins at Forked Run State Park, which offer basic shelter with beds, heating, and air conditioning.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Flatwoods KOA offers year-round cabin access with pet-friendly options that include electricity and basic furnishings. The Mountain Lake Campground and Cabins operates seasonally from April to October with cabins positioned for lake views. North Bend State Park maintains year-round cabins that have been "updated with ADA wheelchair ramps and wraparound decks," according to a reviewer. Reservation requirements vary by property, but most cabins book quickly during summer months and fall foliage season. Rippling Waters Church of God Campgrounds provides lakefront cabin sites where one visitor noted, "Our site is the longest I've ever seen, it's basically a long driveway that leads back out to the road."
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between properties - some offer small refrigerators and coffee makers while others have no cooking facilities at all. On-site camp stores provide limited supplies at several locations, including Rippling Waters and Mountain Lake Campgrounds. The Flatwoods KOA benefits from proximity to a grocery store and Walmart within a mile of the property. Visitors staying at more remote cabins should plan to bring all necessary supplies as options for purchasing forgotten items may be limited. Bath towels are provided at some higher-end cabin properties but toiletries are rarely included in any cabin rental package.

"At the top of the hill, you observe a handful of picnic tables and fire rings, a porta-potty and a small woodshed with a water spigot alongside."
"We prefer state parks but had to stay here at a KOA because of availability (Labor Day Weekend). My biggest complaint with KOAs is the tightness of the sites - this one was not bad."
"It’s up on a hill and the sites are spaced out pretty well. It’s behind a hotel. Our site had room for our 26’ hybrid with 3 beds, plus two cars, chairs, and our two dog tie outs."
from $55 / night

"But because of this size, I would not recommend walking the campground or even using a bike to get around."
"Paved trails, wooden boardwalks across portions of the lake, trams to transport, beautiful golf course…and really nice shower house/bathrooms. Tired of campfire meals…the lodge is spectacular."
"Stonewall Resort State Park is now the official name of this mountain retreat located around the edges of Stonewall Jackson Lake. "
"This campground has been around since the 1800s. It has a lot of permanent residents and we had a lot of fun checking out the different set ups. There are a lot of amenities but they need updated."

TravelerHuge campground. Well maintained. The lake is gorgeous, great for kayaking or paddle boarding
RangerWe thoroughly enjoyed this camp spot right on the river. LOTS of different birds. And it was so quiet!
ScoutIt rained a lot (not the park's fault) so it was pretty muddy the whole time I was there. I switched from site 7 (next to the bathhouse) to site 8 midway through, and both were fine and relatively quiet. It was busy and the bathhouse was kind of gross, but I guess that comes with the territory.
GuideFull hookup. $55 per night. Possibly to enter after office working hours. Bathrooms. Very friendly staff
ScoutMy fiance booked our stay at Tawney Farms back in May for the two of us plus her parents. When her parents arrived to the camp they were already checked in when we first arrived. My my inlaws proceeded to our camp site. Once they got to the site theywere greeted by the male owner speeding up the trail in his truck almost hitting his own wife and began yelling at my inlaws stating theybhad no business being on their property and to get off. My inlaws tried explaining to them that they were with us and they we had paid for them. The male owner continued yelling at them aggressively and swearing at them to the point both of my inlaws were concerned that owner was going to do something physical. My inlaws ultimately left and called us and told us what happened. We dropped what we were doing and drove back to the property in hopes to resolve the confusion. My fiance and I showed them the reservation recipt showing that they were paid for. They maintained that they are being kicked out stating that they did not stop at the shack that no one was at. They were already checked in so there was no reason to need that. in fact it wasnt necessary last year then stated that they were drunk which they were not. They had just finished a 4 hour drive from PA after working their shift. They would not listed to reason. They then went into a shack to look at their paperwork and realized once again that theybare wrong and rather than a simple appology they maintained kicking them out and stated they were going to "let us go". At this point its about 10pm and we had to pack up our campsite and find an alternative short notice on july 3rd... $500 later for a hotel room we got lucky. They almost cost us our vacation because of their inability to reason or even listen.
ScoutWe scheduled our stay two months in advance for our Fourth of July weekend. My fiance and myself were scheduled one night earlier than my parents were supposed to arrive. We paid for everyone in our party and checked everyone in. We had been coming up to place to camp for five summers now, but this most recent experience was more than enough for us to NEVER come back. My fiancé and I were out off the campground to get ice when my mother called me to tell my the owners of the farm CHASED them out the campground, the husband almost running over his wife, insisting they were not welcome and had no business being at the farm when I prepaid everyone’s stay. My parents were terrified this man was going to pull a gun on them. The owners belittled my parents after they drove four hours from PA to spend time with us, screaming over them that they were drunk, speeding, and that my parents didn’t “stop” at the vacant building that they are supposed to be at to greet people. The owners would not even bother to check to verify my parents stay. When we got back to the site to try to reconcile the situation they still would not allow my parents to stay even after seeing that we did pay for my family to be there and were even hesitant to let us stay when we did NOTHING wrong. We had to pay an extra $500 to book a last minute stay at a hotel in Summersville when I already paid near $300 to stay at Tawny Farm. My fiance and I had to pack up our entire campsite in the dark because they would not let us stay over my parents being confused about where they were at. I still have not received any emails regarding a refund for the unwarranted behavior towards my parents. I would not bring your loved ones onto this property. The owners are unstable, unsafe, and unwilling to care about their customers.
TravelerNice quiet campground. The staff was very nice and helpful. Beautiful area with two ponds. The pool looks like it was just redone...nice. The restrooms were very clean and looked freshly painted. Would give a 5 but needs a little more TLC.
ScoutWas very nice,quiet n peaceful.We had to leave unexpectedly but plan to go back when it’s not as hot we had 2 dogs with us one got sick but hoping to make it back there soon
Cabins near Spencer, West Virginia provide access to outdoor activities throughout the year, with most rental options concentrated along waterways or near recreational areas. Spencer sits at approximately 750 feet elevation with hot, humid summers and moderate winters. Local cabin rentals typically range from basic wilderness shelters to fully equipped units with varying proximity to showers and restroom facilities.
Trail exploration: North Bend State Park offers extensive hiking and biking opportunities along the North Bend Rail Trail. "This humble campground is located on the 'Haunted' North Bend Rail to Trail. It was easy check in with a friendly staff," notes one visitor. The rail trail extends 72 miles with access points throughout the park.
Fishing opportunities: Multiple cabin locations provide fishing access, particularly at lakes and rivers. At Mountain Lake Campground and Cabins, guests can fish directly from lakefront sites. One visitor mentioned, "My husband enjoyed the catch and release lake for some catfishing."
Wildlife observation: Cabin sites often attract local wildlife for viewing. One visitor at Rippling Waters noted, "We watched the resident swan swim around the fountain" while another guest mentioned, "There seems to be an abundance of deer in the area" at Statts Mills Campground.
Accessibility options: Some cabins feature adaptations for visitors with mobility needs. At River Run Campground, "Four sites are ADA accessible. Each site has paved parking, a picnic table and fire pit."
Pull-through cabin sites: Some properties offer exceptionally spacious sites. According to a visitor at Rippling Waters Church of God Campgrounds, "We had a pull thru site by the lake. What a spot! It had to be about 100 yards long and nicely graveled."
Golf cart rentals: Several larger properties offer golf cart rentals to navigate extensive grounds. At Mountain Lake Campground, "I would recommend either bringing your own golf cart or renting one. But make sure if it's electric, you book a site with a hookup to charge the cart when not in use."
Proximity to water: Many cabin sites feature water access. "Tent sites are situated between the roadway and the river on the left...then additional tent sites are around a small half acre pond on the right," noted one visitor about River Run Campground.
Site leveling challenges: Many cabin sites require leveling equipment. At Forked Run State Park Campground, "Not the bet for RV's. Back ins are sort and most sites have no level ground even for the picnic table or fire ring."
Bathroom facilities: Quality varies significantly between properties. "There are three small bathrooms around the grounds, that are single use rooms (sink, toilet and shower) one for women and one for men. If someone was using shower, no one else could use bathroom," reported a Rippling Waters visitor.
Off-season considerations: Some cabin areas have reduced amenities during shoulder seasons. "Camp store wasn't open yet for the season no other staff was seen except one guy cleaning on loop A," noted a spring visitor to Forked Run State Park.
Power reliability: Electrical service can fluctuate. One visitor at Stonewall Resort reported, "My surgeguard shut off the power in the evening due to high voltage. It was showing 137 volts at one time."
Playground proximity: Choose sites near play areas for convenience with children. At Mountwood Park Family Campground, cabins positioned on the hilltop area provide access to playground facilities across the main road where visitors note a "playground, historical site and pond for fishing."
Multi-generational considerations: Some cabins better accommodate mixed age groups. A visitor to Stonewall Resort mentioned, "After years of tent camping, this was our first camping trip with camper our and two youngest kids. When we stayed it was cold outside but we had full hook up and were prepared."
Family-friendly amenities: Select properties offer additional entertainment options. At Mountain Lake, "They had a mini golf course, a small pool, a jumping pad, and an ice cream shop in the general store. Very quiet at night."
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Many cabins offer wildlife encounters suitable for children. "Lots of deer, we even saw a mother with 2 fawn!" reported a Mountain Lake visitor.
Pre-arrival planning: Limited supplies at some locations require advance preparation. A Flatwoods KOA visitor advised, "Make sure you run the water lines to clear them out before hooking up. The water quality is very poor."
Site selection strategy: For optimum cabin camping at Stonewall Resort, "I'd recommend sites 1-5, 20, and 39" for their positioning and amenities.
Seasonal pricing variations: Rates fluctuate significantly throughout the year. At Flatwoods KOA, visitors report mid-week discounts during spring and fall, with substantially higher rates during summer weekends and fall foliage season.
Access road conditions: Some properties have challenging approach roads. According to a camper at Mountain Lake, "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."
