Gavin Cabin

WE ARE OPEN SPRING TO FALL

Nestled under a pine forest, Camp KaRuGa is a campground with tiny cabins and tent sites located 1 mile from the Blue Ridge Parkway and the New River. Beautiful creek side campsites and primitive cabins each with its own picnic table and fire pit with cooking grill.

Camp Karuga offers 2 fully equipped shower houses with hot/cold water, electricity and charging stations. The "Family" bath house is also hanidicap accessible.

The tiny cabins accommodate 2 adults and 2 children maximum occupancy. The cabins have an 8ft carpeted sleeping loft. The Gavin cabin also comes with a twin sized pullout loveseat. Please bring everything you need for a amazing camping experience. Each cabin is generously spaced from the others for a pleasant heir of privacy. Tent sites are also spaced apart with your privacy in mind.

Ashe County is offers something for everyone. Beautiful hiking trails are as close or as far as you want to drive to get there. Downtown offers an experience in walking back in time with a small town feel that is unmatched. Delicious eating experiences are available from country cooking to fine dining.

Camp Karuga is also perfectly situated for traveling to Boone, Blowing Rock or Banner Elk without the exhaustion of a long drive. There is so many wonderful experiences around Camp Karuga that it will be hard to choose from.

At Camp Karuga, you can be as active as you want, or just kick back and enjoy the view while your ears relax to the sound of our beautiful creek. Either way, you will leave a healthier, happier person and we are sure you'll want to come back. When you stay at Camp Karuga, we will make sure of it!

Not Happy
We arrived and found out that Gavin Cabin had no electricity and no running water. In order to use the bathroom you had to go to a community one. I did not read anything telling me that it was a primitive cabin. We were not very happy when we had to find another place to stay for the night

Gavin Cabin
We had a great time. This rustic cabin is in a very quiet location and we could hear the nearby creek running which added to the charm.
