We got lucky and had the hole camp to our selves. But it was a wonderful time. Can’t wait to go back.

Wonderful, peaceful weekend at this beautiful cabin in Prince William Forest. Highly recommend. This cabin is a walk from both car and bathrooms but worth it for the tranquility.

the cabins are really nice and clean. exactly what you expect. the bathrooms are down a gravel hill and are a little challenging to get to especially if you are on a knee scooter

10/10 experience, camp was pristine as well as the bathrooms, the staff where nice & helpful, and the cabin gave me a very good nights sleep. Fantastic lodging alternative right off i95.

Great stay. Clean cabins. A two-prong outlet for 6 people capacity. Bring a surge protector to expand. Rented two of the many available cabins for seven of us. Had the other 15 join us the next day for breakfast and follow-on discussions. Park staff was very accommodating. We carpooled so only about 10 cars. Filled the parking lot but it worked. Grill worked great for brats the night before and for southwest scrambled eggs (brought our own charcoal and cast iron skillets) in the morning. Great fire pit. Used it the night before. Plenty of fire wood provided by the park, staged at the site. Bathrooms clean with plenty of stalls. Bear boxes to put out trash in. Late Aug. Had the whole of Site A to ourselves.

We had a wonderful visit with 11 Girl Scouts and five adults. It was incredibly easy to bring out bags to the cabins with wagons, to make a fire for activities and cooking, to use the craft hall for meals and to use the sink near the bathroom for washing dishes etc. We look forward to coming back. And are grateful for Ranger Nick helping to orient us and answer all of our questions!

the cabin suited our needs just fine and the email stating the construction showed that communication is taken serious by the NPS.

Cabin was rustic but all we needed. Grounds were beautiful with clean bathrooms and a fire pit shared the other 6 or 7 Camp 3 cabins so we made some friends, which was great. Took away a star because Cabin 3 did not have a grill despite there being one in the photos and the picnic table was at such an angle things slid off and there didn’t seem to be an place to level it out. Must have been some erosion since photos were taken. Luckily, Cabin 4 next door was empty so we ended up using that grill and table which was great. The Visitor Center had very helpful rangers who picked out a beautiful trail perfect to our needs. We will definitely come again!

$120 waisted - we showed up at 7 pm and could not use the cabin, because no one was there for check in... The whole park was completely deserted, no one to ask. It was quite a surprise. We had to book a motel nearby.

there was no one at the camp, so we had to book a motel. We were looking for any sign of life, checked the bathrooms - the cabins were locked and no one at the whole park to ask for help.
On the way back, we didn't even try checking in, booking a motel to avoid the stress.
