River Camp Cabin #1
My entire experience at the Camp Site was most positive. The Hosts/owners were very attentive and took great care regarding any matters of concern or need. My dogs were able to enjoy a canine paradise... which I am so appreciative of!

#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!
