#6 Riverside Camping Cabin
Super dog friendly and safe!
We stayed in cabin 6 with our little chihuahua, LD. The grounds were awesome! It had a campground feel but still felt private. LD had the best time just running around and exploring off leash which is always nice. We explored downtown Brevard (about 20 min drive) as well as a local waterfall, Twin Falls. The grounds had a clean restroom and shower with hot water. The cabin was clean and had a nice chair that folded out into a twin bed. There was a cute walking trail on-site for evening strolls. Also only a few minutes away is a tap house with daily activities like tubing down the river and food trucks. The grounds have wifi but it didn't reach our cabin, we enjoyed downloading movies in town during the day. We will definitely be back!

#3 Riverside Escape Camping Cabin
I would definitely recommend!!
This was a wonderful campsite our reservation got mixed up but they did everything they could to fix it. We ended up with a bigger better cabin. The view was amazing every cabin is on the water. My kids had a blast even if you don't leave the cabin still plenty to do. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

#5 Riverside Camping Cabin
Relaxing River Getaway
My wife and I recently stayed here and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The campsite and cabin was well maintained, offering a perfect blend of nature and comfort. The host was incredibly welcoming and provided us with all the information and extras that we needed to make our stay enjoyable. The surroundings were serene and picturesque, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing getaway. We particularly enjoyed the walking trail and the river right for fishing ( a lot of gorgeous wild trout). I would highly recommend this Hipcamp location to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in nature. It exceeded our expectations in every way, and we can't wait to come back!

#6 Riverside Camping Cabin
A 10/10 Stay!
Cabin #6 was perfect! Being right on the river was my favorite part of the stay. The cabin was clean and had had everything we needed (mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, outside charcoal grill, a picnic table on the deck, and a fire pit!). The hosts were amazing and friendly and even helped map out sights and waterfalls close by the campground. I will absolutely be booking again!!! 10/10!
