Cabin Camp 2

About

Cabin Camp 2 is one of five historic cabin camps at Prince William Forest Park, originally built during the Great Depression era. The camp accommodates up to 149 guests across approximately 132 acres of forested land. Sleeping cabins come in 2, 4, and 6-person configurations, each equipped with bunks, mattresses, electrical outlets, and overhead lighting. An infirmary building sleeps an additional 10. Guests must bring their own bedding, pillows, and towels. The centerpiece is a dining hall seating 126 people with a fully equipped commercial kitchen featuring a 10-burner stove, three ovens, walk-in refrigerator, freezer, and large sinks. Groups can cook independently or hire outside caterers. Five restroom facilities with hot showers are distributed throughout the camp. Recreation options include a large ballfield, lake access at Lake 2, and connections to the park's hiking and biking trail network. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Cabin Camp 2 requires advance reservation through an application process at least two weeks prior to arrival. The entire camp rents for $725 per night, plus park entrance fees. Check-in is at 4:00 p.m. and check-out at 2:00 p.m., with the permittee required to be present for both.
