About Cabin Camp 3

Cabin Camp 3 is located in Prince William Forest Park and is one of five large cabin camp facilities located in the park. Camp 3 is the only camp where visitors can rent a single cabin. There are thirteen cabins available for rent. The cabins are very rustic and provide a unique camping experience in Northern Virginia. The cabins offer easy access to 37 miles (60 km) of hiking and 21 miles (34 km) of biking trails in the park.The park's land was set aside during the Great Depression, and in 1935 the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) began restoring the previously over-farmed acreage, converting it to recreational lands for public use. The CCC built trails, dams and cabins, making the park a wonderful place for recreation and relaxation.

We did not stay in the cabin as planned because of the poor condition the cabin was in upon arrival. It was a 95 degree day and not all windows would open, so the lack of cross-ventilation made it extremely uncomfortable inside the cabin. The cabin didn't look as clean and as well kept up as in the pictures, and there were a few holes in the walls (not big enough to help with ventilation, but big enough to wonder why they hadn't been repaired), and there was a big hole at the bottom of the door large enough to let critters in. We are used to roughing it in tents and camping cabins, but this just wasn't suitable for a relaxing stay. We didn't have our dog with us, but we were surprised upon seeing the cabin that there's a "no dogs" policy given the state it's in. We thought that would perhaps be an indication of upkeep, but it wasn't. We had also missed that there would be just one central fire ring for all the cabins, and hadn't realized from the map how the cabins were all in a circle facing each other rather than having any kind of privacy.

Rustic cabins great for groups allowing everyone to have their own sleeping space but gathering together.

Really enjoyed the cabins and fire pit areas! The hiking was great too and it helped to have the great weather! The waterfalls were beautiful and our girls enjoyed the sights and wildlife!

My wife and I enjoyed this simple cabin, set apart from roads with sufficient space outside around it and beautiful woods. The fan was nice the first day, but then it got a little cold. More roomy than a camper cabin and more character being part of a historic CCC built camp. The park is extensive, with lots of possibilities for walks in the woods. The second night was a bit noisy as a boisterous, albeit friendly, group of 8 young men came to stay at the cabin next door. The bathroom facilities and showers, about a 2-minute walk away, were simple but quite adequate. The location was easy to get to, no more than an hour’s drive from our home in DC. You can hear the traffic on I-95, but the cicadas partly drowned it out.
