This is the third part in this series where I actually name names! By that I mean I am sharing a specific cabin at a specific park. As I mentioned in this article referring to Natural Tunnel State Park cabin #2 and this article referring to cabin #5 at Shenandoah River State Park, it was super helpful for me as a state park goer to know the specifics. I booked those cabins, just as I booked this one. I don't want you to miss out on these great views and insight from someone who has actually stayed in this cabin at Claytor Lake and plans to stay there again next year!

Wait for the end of this article where you can check availability and plan your next getaway to this awesome state park and get outside and get some of this fresh mountain air!

Cabin #13 is a 3 bedroom 2 bath cabin at Claytor Lake State Park. Like all the cabins there, it is waterfront/waterview. There is a dock specifically for this cabin and the three lodges. These are newer structures, whereas the 2 bedroom cabins, which are very nice, are the older style with the screened-in/enclosed porches and smaller kitchens. The same amenities apply, but not as modern as the 3 bedroom cabin and the lodges.
