This is one of the most beautiful places in 2 hours vicinity of DC, such a gem ❤️! I love the place. However a couple of things to keep in mind. The cabin is OK, keep your expectations to the minimum, you will have a temp controlled space which is nice on winter nights, fridge, microwave too, so grilling, cooking on camp fire is fun. Mattresses are very dirty, so bring a mattress cover or blanket.... This is one of the most beautiful places in 2 hours vicinity of DC, such a gem ❤️! I love the place.

Mattresses are very dirty, so bring a mattress cover or blanket. Also, you get a porta potty but it is not maintained, so that can be very uncomfortable. If only there was just a bathroom with stalls, what a beautiful place to wind down ❤️

Really nice place to camp at. I was in cabin D, it was a bit run down, but the operators were a bit older folk so they really cant keep up. We did have a couple a stray cats, but they were friendly. Service overall was good. Would definitely visit there again, but at a different cabin.

The barn shed we stayed in cabin d was run down the walls were so warped and one of the electrical outlets top cover plate was burned from previous fire and had a hole above it. The bed was so stained and old laying on the floor downstairs. The cabin was piece together inside with whatever they could cover the walls. Someone did the wiring looked like not a licensed electrician in my opinion wiring was pieced together with whatever. There’s trees leaning on big boulders and the roots are on top of the bolders. Looks like the trees could fall at anytime on the barn shed. Worn down and peeling microwave and worn table and chairs. Wasps in porta potty’s stung while using the picture advertising was a long bathroom with sinks and a shower not the case for the porta potty near the cabin. Poorly taken care of owners need to redo these cabins and redo the cabins with a licensed electrician. Manager says you have to buy his wood and can’t use the wood laying on the ground neck of disease the other woods it’s the same wood and trees. Just trying to make money off of people. The grill provided was a tiny round grill on the ground. If it was ever inspected completely in any other city I think they would be shut down. $100. Night for homeless camp ground

Abrams Creek is a rustic campground in a gorgeous natural setting. Many of the sites are located in a hemlock forest along the edge of the creek, which features tumbling water, large moss-covered boulders, and numerous swimming holes. The camping facilities are basic, and showers and port-a-potties could be cleaner, but the staff are friendly and helpful. I cannot comment on the cabins, but our ca... Abrams Creek is a rustic campground in a gorgeous natural setting. Many of the sites are located in a hemlock forest along the edge of the creek, which features tumbling water, large moss-covered boulders, and numerous swimming holes. The camping facilities are basic, and showers and port-a-potties could be cleaner, but the staff are friendly and helpful. I cannot comment on the cabins, but our campsite, #3, was lovely and spacious and the sound of the creek was very relaxing. The campsites vary quite a bit by size and level of privacy, so be sure to take a look at the campground map on their website and include a note with any requests to the staff when making a reservation on the website. Another thing to note is that the campground is located on the western side of a mountain ridge, which means that it receives a lot of rain, mainly in the evening and overnight. If camping, be sure to waterproof your tent and bring rain gear!
