About

Cabin Camp 3 is a historic cabin camp facility located in Prince William Forest Park, constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the 1930s and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The camp is unique among the park's five cabin camps as the only one offering individual cabin rentals alongside group accommodations. The camp is divided into units. A and B Units offer individual cabin rentals for families and small groups, while C Unit is designed for larger groups up to 76 people. The cabins are rustic, featuring electric lights, ceiling fans, and cots. Each cabin has an outdoor grill and picnic table. Restroom facilities with hot showers are centrally located within walking distance of the cabins. The camp includes a dining hall with a complete kitchen, craft lodges with beautiful brick fireplaces, council fire rings, and an infirmary building. The forested setting provides a peaceful retreat with access to Prince William Forest Park's extensive trail system, including 37 miles of hiking trails and 21 miles of paved biking roads. The park preserves approximately 15,000 acres of Piedmont forest and offers opportunities for orienteering, fishing in streams and lakes, and wildlife observation. The camp is located along Scenic Drive, about 2 miles from the park entrance.
