Best Cabin Camping near Volga, WV

Several state parks and private campgrounds near Volga, West Virginia feature cabin rentals with varying amenities and comfort levels. Tygart Lake State Park offers recently remodeled cabins that visitors praise for their cleanliness and comfort. According to one visitor, "We loved this park! The gorgeously remodeled cabins we would love to come back and check out." Kumbrabow State Forest provides historic CCC-built rustic cabins without electricity or running water, but equipped with gas lights, gas refrigerators, fully-equipped kitchens, wood fireplaces, and outside grills. Camp Ara includes cabin options near a lake suitable for fishing and canoeing, while Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Campground offers primitive 10x12 lofted barn cabins with hasps for padlocks.

Rustic and modern cabin options are available throughout the region, with prices typically ranging from $30-200 per night depending on amenities. Chestnut Ridge Regional Park provides both modern and rustic cabins. As one reviewer notes, "The rustic cabin has a double bunk, stove and fireplace but no running water or shower or sink. The modern cabin is 3 bedrooms with microwave, shower, sink, relax room." Most state park cabins require advance reservations, particularly during summer months and fall foliage season. Pet policies vary significantly between locations, with some parks prohibiting pets entirely while others allow them with restrictions. Smoke Hole Caverns and Log Cabin Resort technically has a no-pets policy, though one reviewer mentioned, "When we got here, we read signs about 'no pets', but they didn't ask when making the reservation."

Most cabins provide basic furniture and beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, pillows, and towels. Kitchen facilities vary widely, from fully-equipped kitchens with refrigerators and stoves in modern cabins to simple fire rings for primitive options. Bathhouses with showers are typically available within walking distance of more rustic accommodations. On-site camp stores at locations like Tygart Lake State Park stock "toiletries and other essentials like condiments and s'mores supplies," along with firewood and ice. For extended stays, larger grocery stores can be found in nearby towns like Grafton and Weston. Visitors staying in cabins without electricity should bring flashlights, lanterns, and appropriate clothing for potentially cool mountain evenings, as temperatures can drop significantly even during summer months.

    Camp Holly

    The Most Beautiful Mountain Camp

    Camp Holly is a beautiful campground in the mountains of West Virginia.. Off grid but they do offer Wifi.

    You can choose between hammock, tent, cabin or RV camping, I would recommend tenting it down by the beautiful rivers. The owners are super sweet and more than accommodating.

    This campground has a shop where you can buy necessities you may have forgotten, ice, snacks and fishing gear are also available. The bathrooms are the cleanest and well kept camp bath houses I have ever seen.

    The location is near quite a few waterfalls and about an hour away from the National Forest.. some small towns are nearby as well and worth the visit. Definitely give it a shot! We can't wait to go back!

    We did have some GPS issues on Google Maps, so I would recommend a Garmin or calling for directions before getting lost like we did. It wasn't actually hard to find, but GPS messed with us..

    Kumbrabow State Forest

    Hidden Gem--Unplug and Unwind

    This was my first visit to Kumbrabow State Forest, but not my last!
       
         Kumbrabow State Forest offers lots of great trails, rustic cabins, and a primitive campground. This historic recreation area, carved into this 9,500-acre forest by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930’s, is a wonderful place to unplug and unwind. It’s located at 3,000 feet above sea level on the western edge of the Allegheny Highlands, so it’s the highest state forest in West Virginia.
         I stayed in space #7, located next to Mill Creek, where I enjoyed the relaxing sound of this gurgling stream all night long. Each camping spot has a picnic table, fire ring and lantern holder. There are pit toilets and a pump for fresh spring water in the campground. Two-miles down the road, there’s a bathhouse next to the Kumbrabow forest headquarters.
         If you hike the 2-mile Potato Hole Trail, you'll arrive at the top of Rich Mountain and an overlook with a fantastic view. You can also park at the Kumbrabow gun range and hike the longer, but less strenuous, Rich Mountain Fire Trail which intersects with the Potato Hole Trail.
         Make sure you check out Mills Creek Falls and admire the really cool CCC-built rustic cabins. The cabins don’t have water or electricity, but offer gas lights, gas refrigerator, fully-equipped kitchen, wood fireplace, and outside grill and firepit. My 99-year old mom and her siblings stayed here for their "sister parties" years ago and loved the cabins at Kumbrabow.
         I suggest a side trip to the Highland Scenic Highway where you can admire the Falls of Hills Creek, Cranberry Glades, and colorful foliage during the fall season.

    Chestnut Ridge Regional Park

    Relaxing campground to get away from it all or enjoy a night of musicq

    There are many tent sites at this location, as well as RV lodging.  There is a pond you can swim and or fish at.  There are both, modern and rustic cabins to rent.  The rustic cabin has a double bunk, stove and fireplace but no running water or shower or sink.  There is a shower house a short walk away.  the modern cabin is 3 bedrooms with microwave, shower, sink, relax room....there is also the Klaer Lodge built by park enthusiasts in the late 60's made of stone and can accomadate over 50 people.  All made of stone, as 20+ bunk beds upstairs -- huge facility.

    There are XC trails, an old school house and even a stage for the weekend music series performances.  Dog friendly as long as on a leash and a little shop where you check in and get necessary supplies, wood bundles...etc..very fun place.

    Coopers Rock State Forest

    Quiet campground with easy access to outdoor fun

    This small campground is just a couple of miles from busy Hwy 68, but amazingly quiet. Sites are average to large, with a few that can accommodate larger RV’s. All have electricity, a picnic table, fire ring, and lantern pole.

    There is almost no privacy between sites, but sites are spacious. The campground is kept very clean. Bathrooms are older, but kept clean and have nice HOT showers. There is also a small laundry room with dishwashing sink behind the bathhouse. Both ice and firewood are sold onsite.

    There are many hiking trails in the area, including the very popular Raven Rock trail that leads to an incredible overlook of the Cheat River Valley and Canyon. Also very popular are both the Big Sandy and Cheat Rivers, both within 10 miles to the put ins. Lots of options nearby for just a few hours and/or a full day of whitewater fun.

    Morgantown, about 10 miles away, is the closest town and is filled with everything you need. We enjoyed a great cycling day on the Mon River Trail which runs along the Monongahela River, accessible from downtown Morgantown or Star City.

    Swallow Falls State Park Campground

    Cabin 58

    Swallow Falls has a great loop trail where you see four waterfalls. You can walk to the loop from the campground. It ma be adds a third of a mile to the hike. 

    We stayed in cabin 58, which has a short, easy path to the bathhouse and even shorter to the mud sink. This was very handy when traveling with two young kids. Prior to going, I wished I could have seen the inside of the cabins, particularly to know how big the mini fridge was. I couldn't find any pictures, so here they are.

    It is a one-room cabin, was impressively clean, and the beds were very cozy. There are blackout curtains on the windows, so we slept late and it was glorious. There is one small window in the door that does not have a curtain. I taped aluminum foil up over it.

    Each bed had a mattress pad on it when we arrived, as pictured. One minor note is that the bunk bed mattresses seem to be a bit too big for the bunk beds. This caused them to not lay perfectly flat and also made me feel uncomfortable having my roly-poly kids sleep on the top bunk, where there were only a couple inches between the mattress and the top of the railing.

    I have Verizon and could make calls, but could not reliably send or receive text messages and there was no data access.

    Great park. Great cabin. Great stay.

    Elk River Hotel and Caf__

    Elevate your "camping" experience!

    As part of the Elk River Hotel and Café, there are four glamping tents located on the Elk River. We have the Dyrt to thank for finding these as I’m quite certain I would not have found them otherwise! We tend to take months-long road trips and every once in a while, we like to find unique accommodations, and this fit the bill. Possible future expansion plans include Vermont and Florida but for now, this is the only location for GlampOut Resorts (not to be confused with Glamp Out Resort– singular). 

    Each glamping tent has a sink/small fridge, and coffee maker, a fully plumbed bathroom, and a king or queen-sized bed with linens. Bath towels are provided but no toiletries so make sure you bring them. The tents were spacious and clean, and the heater was appreciated during a cold, damp October stay. There is a sink and dorm-sized fridge but no microwave or way to cook a meal. Breakfast is optional, reasonably priced at $10 per person, and is served in the café at 8:30 am. The café is open for dinner Tuesday– Saturday from 4 pm– 9 pm and the food was good. I only saw one other breakfast/lunch eatery in town and no grocery store so plan accordingly, especially if you plan to be there on a Sunday or Monday! 

    About a half mile from the glamping tents is access to the Jeremiah Carpenter Trailhead but use caution. There was a barrier at the entrance, but a local police officer told me I should just walk around it. I hiked about a half mile up the steep hill; when the trail turned to the right, it was overgrown and narrow and since I was by myself, I just turned around and came back down the way I came. I later learned there had been bear sightings on this trail! Nearby is the Flatwoods Monster Chair Trail. I wasn’t sure if there was a put-in area for kayaks or canoes and no one I asked seemed to know. In June, there is a Big Foot festival and a seasonal farmers market. 

    When we were there, there was not much to do except relax. There is not much in the sleepy town of Sutton, however, it was a quiet respite for us during the last two weeks of our two-month trip. It is, however, a bit of a splurge at approximately $200 per night.

    Swallow Falls State Park Campground

    Great camping near falls

    Clean, beautiful and quiet (occasional barking dog or children playing loudly). The basic tent sites each have a picnic table, fire pit w/ grill, and lantern post. The trails to the beautiful falls are a short walk from the campgrounds.

    Coopers Rock State Forest

    Must See Sunsets

    This is the largest state forest in West Virginia, it has a total of 25 sites that vary in their privacy. Each site has electrical hookups, picnic tables, fire grates, and utility post. The sites in the middle of the loop lack privacy that the outer loop sites have. There is one bath house that has hot showers, flush toilets, water spigots, and now WIFI. Pets are allowed but must be kept on a leash. There are gravel pull-ins for the sites, there are a couple of pull through sites for RVs.

    The campground gets busy during the fall because it is so close to Morgantown and Mountaineer games. There are lots of hiking trails, coopers rock is definitely a must to see during sunset. Ravens rock is also a beautiful look out trail. Rock climbers have a lot of rock outcroppings on short trails for climbers to utilize. Fishing, biking, and hunting are also popular activities that can be done here.


Guide to Volga

Cabin camping near Volga, West Virginia offers varied experiences within the Allegheny Highlands region, where elevations range from 1,000 to 3,000 feet. The area features a humid continental climate with significant temperature variations between seasons, often dropping 15-20 degrees at night even during summer months. Most state forest cabins remain open from April through late October, though some higher elevation locations may close earlier due to weather conditions.

What to do

Waterfall exploration: Multiple cascades accessible near Tygart Lake State Park, where trails connect to various water features. "The lake offers great relaxation and the trails around the lake offer pretty views. Only wish that there were more trails available because it's so beautiful in that area," notes one visitor.

Fishing opportunities: Stock up before trying your luck at various lakes and streams. "Had a amazing time camping in this area. The camp sites are neat and clean. A lot of hiking trails to choose from and fishing, boating and swimming in the lake," explains a Tygart Lake camper.

Kayaking and boating: Accessible water recreation with rental options at several locations. One visitor to Stonewall Resort State Park reports, "At the lodge there's some restaurants, indoor outdoor pool, spa, you can rent kayaks to paddle around. They also have a boat that will take you on a tour of the lake."

What campers like

Rustic cabin experiences: Historic structures with minimal modern amenities in Kumbrabow State Forest provide an authentic wilderness setting. "The cabins don't have water or electricity, but offer gas lights, gas refrigerator, fully-equipped kitchen, wood fireplace, and outside grill and firepit," explains one reviewer.

Stream-side cabins: Many locations feature accommodations near moving water. A Holly River State Park visitor shared, "The Holly River runs clear through the Park, right beside a good many of the sites and hanging a hammock and listening to the water, can't be beat!"

Wildlife viewing: Early morning and evening opportunities to spot native species. "There was a lot of wildlife to enjoy as you go through the park: deer, Turkey," reports a Holly River State Park cabin camper.

What you should know

Variable cell service: Many cabin areas have limited or no connectivity. A Kumbrabow visitor noted, "Cons: Lengthy dirt road drive to get there, No cell coverage or Wi-Fi, 2 mile drive to bath house."

Raccoon awareness: Some campgrounds report wildlife issues requiring precautions. One camper warned, "There is a HUGE raccoon problem here, even during the day. I wish we were warned ahead of time. Many people bring an extra tent to keep their food in."

Advance planning for amenities: Facilities vary significantly by location. At Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Campground, "The camp includes 14 camping sites (firepits, slabwood benches, parking, and future picnic tables), 5 primitive shelter cabin sites (10x12 lofted barn cabins with hasp for your padlock)."

Tips for camping with families

Look for cabin clusters: Some parks offer grouped accommodations for multi-family trips. At Stonewall Resort, "I'd recommend sites 1-5, 20, and 39," suggests one family camper.

Bath facilities vary: Research before booking if traveling with small children. One visitor to Stuart Recreation Area observed, "This is a great campground with nice large sites. I can imagine if you go when the rhododendron are blooming it would be ever more beautiful. Very clean with a great clean bathroom and shower house."

Consider cabin size limitations: Most rustic options have strict capacity limits. Regarding Camp Ara cabins, a visitor explains, "You can rent a cabin, camp in the woods, or rent a bunkroom for your group. Beautiful lake for canoeing and fishing and the hiking and mountain bike trails are amazing!"

Tips from RVers

Site selection for cabins and RVs: Many campgrounds accommodate both with varying privacy levels. A Revelle's River Resort visitor noted, "My family and I liked this campground a lot. We had a camp site that was right against the river with full hookups. This seemed to be a well laid out campground with sites for weekenders in maybe the best location right along the river."

Plan for site limitations: Many cabin camping areas have terrain constraints. "Almost all sites are on a hill. The pictures do not accurately show this," warns one Tygart Lake camper about certain sites.

Off-season options: Cabin camping extends beyond summer. A Coopers Rock visitor recommended, "The McCollum Campground at Coopers Rock State Forest is a great place to stay. The sites are nicely spaced apart, the camp staff is helpful, and the showers are very clean."
