We're going to do something different this spring and spend a couple of months on the road, but without an RV. My first cut was doing condo's and extended stay hotels, but I think we would miss the RV lifestyle too much. There's something with being in a park, and going for a walk among other RV'ers that you don't get with a hotel or condo. That got me thinking about some of the parks we've been in that had cabins/cottages which they rented out. The problem is we just stumble onto them, I have never seen a source you could go to, and find who has them. Any of you out there know of a one stop source where these cabins/cottages are listed. Otherwise I'll be doing the old hunt and pecking the internet.

Don't know where you're planning on camping, but do know many, if not most, KOA campgrounds throughout the country and Canada have "Kamping Kabins" and "Kottages". Some state parks throughout the country have them too, but they are very, very difficult in most places to reserve (too few cabins, too many want them!). You might check www.koa.com for more accurate info.

KOA is your best bet, as most of their parks have cabins.If you do a Google search for the campgrounds with cabins for the area you are going to, that is probably the best you can do.Good Sam may have cabin listings in their Directories.

I sometimes look for RV parks with cabins so that our daughter can meet us there and stay in a cabin. I use rvparkreviews.com to find an RV park with good ratings, then check their web site to see if they also have cabins. Many do.And yes, most KOAs do. Some with bathrooms and kitchens, some not.BUT. Be aware that you will likely have to supply your own linens.

Those KOA Kabins seem a little more primitive than what I was hoping for. I was thinking more like a cabin/cottage with kitchen, bath, and a living type area. Something that you could live in and not feel like you're roughing it.

The KOA cabins come in different sizes. Some do have bathrooms, kitchens, and living areas. You just need to check each KOA to see if they have the larger cabins.
We stayed at a private independent RV park in Ruidosa last June. I reserved a "cabin" for my daughter, grandson, and friend. It was more like a luxury apartment with a king bedroom, queen bedroom, kitchen, and large living room for $85/night. They are out there, just a matter of finding them.

Many Virginia State Parks that have campsites also have camping cabins and lodges. Other states may vary, but could be worth checking if a park setting is a priority.
