Four of the five cabin camps administered by Prince William Forest Park are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Each camp is composed of groups of small, historical wooden structures. These cabins, nestled in a 15,000 acre forest, were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps during the 1930s, used by the Office of Strategic Services during World War II to train spies, and enjoyed by summer camp children from the Great Depression to today. We hope that you enjoy your stay in these historic cabins, and that you help preserve and protect the cabins for future generations to enjoy.

General Group Cabin Camp Information
What Facilities Does Each Camp Contain?
Each group cabin camp has a central dining hall with a commercial size oven and refrigerator, spacious counter and a large area for dining. All cabins and dormitories are equipped with single cots and mattresses. Facilities for hot showers and flush toilets are located centrally in each camp. The camps do not have air conditioning, though Cabin Camp 5 is heated during the winter. Mops, brooms and toilet tissue are provided. Campers must bring their own bedding, cookware, cleaning supplies, tableware, trash bags, soap and first aid supplies.
When are the Cabins Open?
Cabin Camps 1- 4 open in mid-May and close in mid-October, as none of the cabins are heated. Specific opening and closing dates vary by year. Cabin Camp 5 has some heated buildings and is therefore open year-round.
