Camping & Cabins
- Overnight accommodations are provided at more than 40 developed campgrounds and three cabins in the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests.
- Choose from a wide range of outdoor settings and levels of development. Some campgrounds are highly developed with large, level campsites, tables, fire rings, electricity, and bathhouses. Other campgrounds are more primitive with minimal site amenities.
- All campgrounds with single family campsites, including equestrian camps, offer sites on a first come, first served basis; and a number of those campgrounds also have some campsites on a reservation system. Groups looking for a place to camp have a number of choices. Most group campsites do require a reservation, including one group equestrian camp. Reservations can be made at www.recreation.gov or by calling (877) 444-6777.
- Camping stay is limited to 14 consecutive days in FS operated campgrounds and 28 consecutive days at concessionaire operated campgrounds.
- In campgrounds, camp only in those places specifically marked or provided.
- At least one person must occupy a camping area during the first night after camping equipment has been set up, unless permission has otherwise been granted by a forest ranger.
