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 mi (37.3 mi) of hiking and 21 mi (21.1 mi) 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.

Know what to expect if you get to the park after dark. The visitors center closes at 5 and the park isn't well marked, so I wasn't even able to find my cabine.

Overall experience was great and we all had a fantastic time, the site was clean and comfortable. A few of the windows/ screens did not secure, or able to be secured due to missing latches. The only other thing we be having actual fireplace at the cabins would be nice instead of the small grills

Nowhere on the site did it list the check-in time, so I reserved a cabin for a daytime park exploration and a place to bed down at night. (it was a cabin reservation). It was only AFTER paying that I found out that I could not check-in to the cabin until 3PM, which means there was nowhere to stash the gear, nor time to set up camp before dark. So, we drove all the way out, looked around, and left without spending any time in the park. It's not a hotel. If check-in is at 3PM, that means the vast majority of the time a "stay" is scheduled for is in darkness, with a fraction of it in the daylight. It makes absolutely no sense. Check IN should be as early as NOON at the latest. Also, for the weeks leading up to the stay I was unable to get a hold of the "contact". I never received a return call, and attempted to call over 50 times in a 3-week period to avoid this, to no avail. There is no point in having a voicemail if they are never going to use it to return calls.

Maybe I missed it but I have rented cabins before and this one did not feel safe, underneath the cabin it is open and no glass only screens and shutters on the windows, if you are going in a big group you should be fine be I know I would not have been able to sleep standing guard over my family. It is very rustic with a campfire and bathrooms about 150yrds away. but it was not for me. We ended up rented a hotel room

I had a great time at this cabin campground with my family! The park is great, and it's very easy to pop out into civilization if you forget anything.
Two heads up: there were no fire rings when we went, so the only fire we could build was in the raised grill. It worked for s'mores but not as a place to circle around and hang out after sunset. The other is that I had assumed we could drive up but the parking lot is actually a short (hilly) walk away. There are wagons for bringing stuff over but don't plan on living out of your trunk :)
