Save on Overnight Stays

By Nancy HeltmanPosted October 31, 2013

 

Our Virginia State Park cabins are very popular destinations year round.

Many customers book their summer vacations eleven months in advance and we are finding that folks book even weekend stays farther in advance. Of course when you plan that far in advance, sometimes things happen and you can't make the trip. If it is a last minute issue, we end up with one of those great cabins sitting empty. So a couple of years ago we decided we would rather discount the cabin 25% than have it sit empty and so the last minute cabin getaway discount was born.

How does it work? Call us Thursday or Friday (Thursday is best of you want to include Friday night in your stay) and make a reservation for a cabin starting on Friday or Saturday and for as long as you'd like (up to our maximum stay limit of 14 nights), and we'll take 25% off if you mention the last minute cabin getaway discount. You can only get this discount by calling the reservation center at 800-933-7275. Please remember we're open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Normally we will do a Facebook post on Thursday to mention which parks have availability, but you don't have to wait for that.

Thanks to our partnership with ReserveAmerica, their Active Advantage Membership Program has become an even better deal. All Active Advantage members save $10 on every reservation they book online with their Active account at our Virginia State Parks. That's CABINS and CAMPING! If you book your overnight stays on line, you may have noticed the free month trial offer for the membership program. You may have seen the $64.95 price tag and decided not to try it - although the membership brings some great discounts.

If you visit us often, this membership will pay for itself! You can sign up for a 30 day trail for just $1.99. Please pay careful attention to the fact that if you fail to cancel in the 30 days, your card will be automatically charged the year's fee. Check out the frequently asked questions here. You must book online to get the discount. The best part of the deal, in my opinion, is that this discount doesn't cost Virginia State Parks a penny. ReserveAmerica reimburses us for every discount taken!
